Nice video, and Jeff shows some real class as he compliments the Corvette's heritage. He also takes his time to say how much he appreciates the styling and beauty of that sexy Laguna convertible. Here's a companion video:
Other professional drivers also appreciate the beauty and performance of the car, but they'd rather "get down" with these sexy cars as quickly as possible...

Tony Stewart, in particular, doesn't understand the concept of "foreplay"...
"We drift to the right, heading straight for the knee-high grass that lines the asphalt. He hasn't lifted. Just when my back starts to tense up, he jumps off the throttle for a millisecond before getting back on it. Damn this guy. The car just brushes the tall grass. Maybe a second or two later, we dive into a steeply banked left-hand bowl, a Talladega-esque oval, but one small enough to be stuffed into your living room. Thanks to the traction-enhancing effects of the banking, the car generates over 2 g's in this turn, which means my head effectively doubles in weight. I can't keep my helmet from banging the window, but I can't stop giggling, either." Road and Track Car Reviews - Tony Stewart on the C7

And then there's Tony Kannan, former Indy 500 champion...

Thanks for posting this Chip! Totally love Jeff as my favorite driver, but the video was awesome in its own right too. Doubly made my day!
I thought about entering the raffle, but then got a headache trying to figure out what we'd do with two Laguna Blue vettes and if they'd fit in the garage and I think we're going to just pass.
