new vette
Got on the highway today right next to a 2014 red Stingray and was around it for about 12 miles. It is very sharp and I thought it looked better than the pictures I have seen of them on adds. This is the first one I have seen in person. Looked great going down the road. I can just see me now, someday I hope.

Saw one driving through a parking lot as I was walking to my car. I gave him the big thumbs up and he responded with a nod and a smile. Then as he left the parking lot he let me hear the sweet tone of his exhaust!

Didn't like them in the pics. As a long haul driver, I have seen a few now and when I drive past the Bowling Green factory, they have a bunch parked out front.In my opinion, I was wrong about how they looked just going by the pics. Good looking car!

Look a lot better in person: pictures don't do it justice somehow... Now...if it only had a 32V DOHC option with all the modern goodies

That's good hear. Last week at the cars and coffee there was a C7 and myself as well as the others present could not help but notice how quite it was. We looked at each other and commented that you could just about hear it run. I guess the "quite mode" really is quite. I doubt this particular C7 was a Z51 though.
