25 minutes at a stand still, completely worth the price of admission.



Note: My wife was driving, I'm not THAT guy.

The back side window on the car on the top right does not look like a Camaro to me as well as the exhaust. Just my .02 .

That's the way they deliver these. We see car haulers here in the Detroit area with the vette's wrapped up like that all the time. It's funny though because the Vettes are the only ones i ever see covered up. All others are just free-ballin on the haulers.

C7s leave Bowling Green with individual shipping covers. My guess is the intent is exclusivity.

On C7's the four exhaust pipes are evenly spaced. See the picture, they're evenly spaced. On C6's the four exhaust pipes are in pairs with a space between the pairs.
