Default I saw a new one!

Yesterday my wife and I took the 99 FRC out to get a coke. Coming back through town I looked in my rear view mirror; it was filled with the front end of a brand new C7. I moved over to my right lane and he pulled along side of me and then on past after we both waved. It is all Corvette and the tail lights did not look bad, I thought they blended in rather nicely. It is a exciting looking car, I think GM did good on this one. But not as good as an FRC!

I will be waiting a long time to see one, what with 6 months winter and living in Canada with a 300 Corvette allotment. Happy you shared your sighting and thoughts. Greetings, Rob

I am going to a Corvette only show this weekend at Florida's largest Corvette dealer. I expect i will finally see a C7 in person.

I actually entered this show but I usually just go to shows as an observer. It was $10 and had T-Shirt included so you can't beat that. I will probably get pissed when some crap C5 from the local Corvette club beats me out of an award LOL

Haven't seen a C7 around here yet, but got an e-mail from a local Vette club that said a new member had joined and had a C7. Guess I'll see it around at some point.

I have seen quite a few here in SW Florida. The only color I haven't seen in person is Green. I just saw a Silver non Z51 with chrome rims on the way in to work.
