OFFICIAL VERT PICTURE THREAD

I, as many others here on CF, are patiently waiting for their ordered vert to arrive. All indications point to them starting down the line within a couple of weeks. I thought having a rally point here for all vert pictures would avoid the upcoming hundreds of vert posts.

So...please post here all vert pictures, your delivered car (soon to be) and any other pics you can find here.

Please let's stay on course and not fall into vert vs coupe pros and cons and comparos to other gen verts etc, etc, etc.... Let's stick to C7 verts and have fun.

As for me I do not expect mine until snow departs Montreal streets in April so this will be my therapy. A lot cheaper than laying down on a leather sofa talking about my childhood...

So let me put a few pics here to start it off with a bang!!

Great idea!
I am in the same boat, vert on order for delivery in the Spring. Sure would like to see an image of a top down TR Z51 Kalahari interior vert to keep me going until then.

Is the color of the car in that last vert photo NRB or Cyber Gray?

I believe that is the vehicle that GM sent around the country to various shows and it is Cyber Grey with Kalahari interior and Kalahari top.

Correct that is the reveal car.

Just thinking that I may have started this thread too early as there are very little vert pics out there...

Mine won't arrive until late March or April...the wife and I are in dispute between CRT with Khalahari or Black interior with matching top. The dealer has customers with each on order for December delivery. I see a trip to BG in my future. Can't happen soon enough.

I have a vert on order too, CRT w/black interior, 3 LT Z51, NPP, chrome 5 Spoke Rims and mag ride. According to my dealer, I should have it the week of Christmas or the first week of January.

Here is mine from the web site. Just can't see the Kalahari with the body pictures. Appears almost black...

Sorry if you see water stains on the pictures...I'm drooling all over my screen...

NB: Just changed my calipers from Yellow to RED...

Super cool that the build-it site is working. Confirmed my choice of Crystal Red Z51 with black wheels, black top, black interior.

Was debating carbon flash black mirrors, spoiler, and maybe the hood stinger. They add a bit more of an aggressive look in the renderings. Probably too late to change my order now that its at 3100 status, but I suppose those portions would be easy enough to paint or wrap later.

Was also considering the Night Race Blue with black top and black wheels. Saw a Camaro in that same color combo at the dealer, but it was overcast that day, and the NRB paint really didn't sparkle enough. But its a nice dark and sinister look without going all black.

The build it site helps some. But for the vert buyers, it still does not let you select the color of the convertible top. This was my big issue with the site all along. You can see it with a convertible top but you still cannot select the color of the top.

Crazy/silly question. Does the vert look good or terrible with tinted windows?

Side-track question: Are you planning on taking it out during winter in Montreal? I am assuming this won't be your daily driver.

Also wanted to see the Kalahari top on my AW...just isn't happening. GM should have a look at the P car website and learn...

Just bringing back to the top as vert pics are starting to show up. Hope to see vert pics here very soon as they are apparently coming down the line as we speak!

Only recently (a couple of days ago) decided to pull the trigger on a C7 (this year), so totally not up to speed, but this thread would indicate that the vert is coming out in Canada much sooner than I had heard it would in the the states. Is this true?
