Comp Gray in person looks way better than in the picture. Must be the shadows or camera angle 'cause for a moment I thought those were the base rims. My bad

Sweet ride!
Beautiful weather in these parts to. I just did 700 miles, in 2 days, on the awesome twisty, hilly roads in south western WI!
BUT... It was on my sportbike.
My Corvette is pizzed!

I totally agree. IMHO the C6 has classic, clean lines...not overdone in any respect. I thought the C5 was 'almost' there...the C6 refined the design to perfection. I'll be curious to see what the C7 looks like...the C6 will be hard to top.

awesome. we go to Skyline Drive and do the same.. in Shenandoah, pretty twisty for sure... but not quite like the Dragon...

I'll be doing it solo in the vette this year... just me and the Ms.

years ago, i held an annual F body gathering for the event. We had cars come from Canada and Texas to do it...

this is me leading in my Comp T/A and my wife behind me in her Firehawk...

Just got back from Vettes on the Point where our caravan drove the Blue Ridge Parkway, Peaks of Otter and all the twisties.

Got to get there before the leaf watchers show up. Clear roads and not much to block spirited driving on those curves. I look forward to it every year.
