I live in Michigan, about 1/2 hour from the Milford GM Proving Grounds. My neighbor 3 doors down has brought home 3 different C7's in the last week (white, black and red). The have manufacture plates on them. He is with the Corvette program and pretty high in the organization I think. Waiting for a nice Saturday to visit and view up close including the interior. Saw them at the Detroit Auto Show, but of course locked up, no sit and no view inside.
I promise to bring good beer and cigars!

C7 sightings ?
Wasn't about a month ago that I saw a blue 2014 C7 wrecked photographs here ? I'm positive it was a C7, and if you do a search it's here somewhere.

I watched the American Le Mans racing series on TV last Saturday, and they were racing on the streets of Long Beach, just a couple of hours north of San Diego. On display there was a grey C7 Corvette, which was shown in some detail during the race. Perhaps this car made a trip down to San Diego and that is what your friend saw?

Here you go. FF to about 58 minutes into the video and begin watching. You'll see the Corvette story with the gray C7.
