....unless you REALLY want attention. I've had this thing for a little under 3 months now and I've never seen people go as crazy over a car as they do for my new C7. I've had a lot of nice luxury and sports cars over the years(including an AMG SL55 convertible and 6 Corvettes), but none of them have ever caused people to hang out of other cars taking pictures and I've had more people complimenting it at stop lights than all my other cars combined. Just yesterday I had a guy on a chopper who looked like an extra on Sons of Anarchy pull up next to me and give me a big smile only to reveal he only had about half his teeth. 
And now for the obligatory photo(taken after a fresh coat of Pinnacle Souveran):

I get the same level of persistent attention in my IOM C6 GS. I get stopped and asked about it. I get flagged down in parking lots. People chat me up at lights. I get all kinds of looks from others driving more expensive cars. I had a group of young ladies just the other day ask if they could have a ride. Between the rare orange color, the stripe pattern and the wide body design, I really can't go anywhere without getting Exotic level attention.

I cant be sure cuz my TR is just a few days away but, I'm pretty sure red always gets more attention. Besides, there is NO doubt that red is faster than anything else....

I thought for sure that selecting a nice sedate LMG would cut down on the attention (I had a yellow GS before so I know attention...). Nope. A couple times, when I parked within sight, a restaurant full of waiters emptied out to look at my car, even take pictures. Stopped at Pep boys and the sales people were outside looking at it/getting pictures taken with it when I was done shopping.
What I don't see a lot if is people waiving or taking photos when driving. I think it doesn't stand out until they are right next to it on the road, too late for them to do anything but stare. Lots of eyeballs, though. Any color C7 attracts attention, just maybe at different times.

Some folks dog it because it has a slightly orange hue to it. However, I think it is a very cool color.

And I remember it was less than a year ago that on this forum the taillights were going to be the death of the C7, and it "didn't look like a Corvette", and nobody would like it. My, how times has changed.

Would agree - all C7 are looked at and admired! 
I've had folks leaning out their windows on the interstate taking pictures when I go by!
