    ...drove it out of the building after setting it down..... Really?
    Cheers went up when the engine of the 2009 ZR1 Blue Devil was cranked up and the prize vehicle was driven a few feet.

    Charlie, I had read it, and wondered if maybe you had seen/heard a different report than the one that was quoted in Mike's post. It would be nice if all of them could leave the building under their own power, with only bodywork needed, but I fear that's not the case.

    Yeah I watched CBS this morning and they said and showed the car start and drive (there words 20') Then they seen a fluid leaking out and they shut it off. The video is deciving???as it showed the car coming into the light .. NO big deal to me as I don't own a Vett anymore and doubt it would make any difference anyway. Its just media hipe . Seems to be a lot of that lately. Have a good day

    The Bangshift coverage also says "....drove it out..." qualified by the fact that it was leaking oil "...like a stuck pig." Their video shows it stopping at the opening in the wall and not going all the way out, and they went on to say that they doubted any damage to the engine, but said that as a museum piece it really didn't matter?? I totally disagree with that idea, and much prefer the Leno approach where the cars are all fully capable of being driven first, and then brought to display quality. To me the "Blue Devil" is just another blue Corvette if they trash the engine and choose to leave it trashed. Just my $0.02.

    I have to agree with Roger. Now, that 62, when do I need to be there to get it out of their hole?
