Default C7 prototype at Amelia

The Concours d'Elegance at Amelia Island will be host to the Corvette concept car March 12-14.

For anyone who wasn't privileged to attend the Detroit Expo, now is your chance to see the "Stingray". This is the car many believe will be the C7. There will be 300 world class cars on display. Many of them are historically significant Corvettes.

Tickets are $50.00 at the gate. Discounts are available on their website. Proceeds go to Hospice of North East Florida.

Hope to see you there.

The "Transformer Vette" has NEVER been called the C7 concept car by anyone at GM that matters.

Perhaps you are right that no one has called it the "C7 Concept" but GM pretty clearly HAS presented it as and called it the "Stingray Concept." May be splitting hairs here:

No, but even worse is your thread title that calls it the "C7 prototype". It is a concept car. It is not a C7 prototype.

My point exactly.

Until someone of importance @ GM calls it a C7 anything, I think we should just call it the Transformer vehicle. Don't get me wrong. I'm more guilty than you of calling it that. I like to play around with the car's image!
