Dude looks like Ben Aflack

That's a great video. Thanks. What a car, I doubt I'll ever own one though. By the time they're in my price range I'll be eating oatmeal.

Super nice pics, thanks!

I love the C7. I agree the read end will take some getting use to, but otherwise, this thing looks stellar.

I want one!!

I like the one in silver. Its amazing how rims alone can transform the dated look of a C5 into a modern day sports car.

While C7 looks great, it just hasn't fully grown on me yet. I am hoping the C7 Z will change my mind (hopefully with some arch flares!).

GM owns them. They are all mule cars. Pre production test cars. They let mags and others get there first drives in. I see my first one tomorrow at Mystic Lake Casino in MN. More than excited.
