Default Pics of new 2016 Corvettes

There are a lot of people who already accepted the delivery of their 2016 Corvettes. I'm not seeing too many pictures so far so let's start posting them here.

Very sharp car! Don't understand the criticism about the front cameras. If they do their job well, they are a great addition and IMO are not that conspicuous.

Looking good.
Drive it around the block to get the rust off the brake rotors.

The old 2016's will probably look close to the new 2016. They both look like my 2015 except for a few minor changes.

On thing that doesn't make sense about the front camera. The lines that show on the screen are wider than the car.

The line on the rear facing camera are aligned with the ousted edges of the car.

I was hoping the front camera alignment lines had been like the rears, as I have a lift in my garage and the width of the tires of my new z are right to the edge of the lifts runners. Zero margin for error. Maybe easier to back the car on the lift (if I stop opening the drivers door to check the alignment.

There isn't any way to adjust the alignment lines on the front camera, is there?

Cadmium plated brake rotors, I'll need to do some research on that. Nice C7.
