I still haven't seen one (besides my own) on the street. My local dealership has sold two (the day after they arrived).

Local dealerships have sold several (more than 10), but I've only seen a couple of them on the street.

I have seen 3 Louisiana. 2 Red and 1 Black very pretty car! My wife saw one and loved it 
It should be mandatory to lower them though!! I fear withinin a year I will see the all the tie again.
I just hope the Z06/ZR1 model is limited production!! Please GM make the car unique just once make it unique! Don't build 30K of them!

I finally saw one in a parking lot in Orangeburg, SC as I was driving by about four weeks ago. It belongs to a doctor and maybe one day I'll stop by and take a closer look.

I've seen several on the streets in Orange County, CA. The inevitable also happened. From a long way off, I saw a black Ferrari-esque hood shape, and was surprised to find the familiar crossed flags gracing its front.

I haven't seen any others around where I live although I do know there are a couple more in the area.....but I was in Houston last week for business and saw the headlights of one at an intersection while I was turning into a restaurant for supper....that's all I saw were the headlights.

[QUOTE=c5vette73;1585216446]I live in a big metropolitan city and have yet to see a C7 on the street.
I have seen only one on the street, mine. I am located in CT, and have driven through MA and NY quite a bit over the last three weeks and have not seen any!! One trip was to a New Canaan CT car gathering about two weeks ago. It was an awesome show. Crazy exotic cars (tons of Ferrari's, 3 Mercedes SLS AMG's, etc.). Hundreds of sick cars. This sounds totally insane, but my new blade silver z51 was sent to the head of the line to be at the featured spot in front of the organizer's coffee cafe!! Unreal....

Im in Orange County, CA and just saw my first one in the wild today.. a grey one with silver rims.
Not hating, but a Grey car just does not look the same as the lighter colors. It blended in with traffic and the silver wheels just don't do it for me. This was the first time seeing a C7 driving on the streets in person, and I didn't like it. I am glad I went with white. Grey is just blah

Just drove a round trip from Pensacola to Orlando and back. 1000 miles and no C7s and I was looking. I have only seen one and that at the dealer waiting for its new owner.

None around here so far. I understand someone in a nearby town does own one, but haven't seen it yet.

My first one was SCM_Crash at a car meet in Burbank. LB/Brownstone. My second was AW/Black wheels passing opposite direction a few blocks from my home. Third and fourth CG/Blk and TR/Red with twin turbos at another car meet at the Topanga mall. Then my 5th one was a VY in the left turn lane on Victory Blvd turning left onto Reseda at 7am just this last Thursday. It was beautiful on an overcast rainy morning. :-)

I saw a few at Caffeine and Octane in Alpharetta, GA at the beginning of the month and a few at a club meeting earlier this month. But then nada until today when I saw an all black non-z51 as I was turning into my neighborhood.
I like black cars (except keeping them clean,) but I'm glad I didn't get a black C7. The lines of the car just didn't seem to stand out as much as it drove by. JMHO

other than 2 that recently showed up at my Camaro Club event, zero! I can't believe it. Philly is a big city and not another one yet. I guess that's why I get so many looks? I'll enjoy it while I can.
