Default I finally sat in one. A green one even.

I'm at Road America for tha ALMS races. There were several C7s on hand.
The green one is the only one we were able to sit in. I loved it.
The color is real sharp in person.

The blue pace car was stunning!

I really don't like yellow cars (taxi, anyone), but that yellow with the black wheels, carbon flash mirrors/spoiler and yellow calipers is HOT!

Correct.
With the suede inserts throughout. Very plush.

One of the white cars had red interior. Tastefully done. Not too much red. Just right.

Ya know....that's an outstanding thought. Wish I woulda thought of checking that.

Honestly though, they were just clearing the paddock once I finally made my way up to it, after "wasting" valuable time taking pics of umbrella girls.

Funny that you ask that about the pace car. All the CTF C7s have clear film in that chip-prone area, only the pace car doesn't have it. I looked closely today and didn't see any chips so far.
