We know the seventh generation of GM's flagship sports car, the Corvette, is just around the corner and that it will arrive sometime in the first half of 2013, but one YouTube user had the unique opportunity to see the car up close and on the road.
The good news is that he was able to film a short clip, the bad news being that he did it with a mobile phone without turning it sideways… Nonetheless, the video is worth 30 seconds of your time.

What Nissan has managed to do with the R35 GT-R is nothing short of amazing, as the Japanese carmaker's flagship model has become the de facto standard in the sports car world upon which all other vehicles are judged.
Of course, we should never forget that another important factor that weighs in at any type of race is the driver and how capable he or she is behind the wheel.
The video that follows, isn't a race per se, as the drivers of the Corvette Z06 and Nissan GT-R running at the MotorSport Ranch Performance Car Country Club in Texas were probably there to do some hot laps around the track, but still, the chase that ensued makes for a pretty interesting watch.

While rumors of a mid-engine Corvette have and will no doubt continue to swirl for the years to come even after the imminent presentation of the C7, GM has no immediate plans to make such a dramatic change to its flagship model.
However, the custom industry is a different story. Enter the world of the V7 Prototype, a custom made 1963 Chevrolet Corvette C2 that's heading to the auction block at the 2012 Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction in Palm Beach, Florida, which runs from April 5 to 7.
