I'll be there bright and early Thur morning. I assume there will be many people driving their Vettes so where do we park our rentals?
Also, has anyone seen a picture of the front cup holder open on the C7 yet?

Tons of parking for all cars - shouldn't have a problem at all. But there will be hundreds of Vettes - maybe a thousand with a good turnout! We already have over 800 people registered and it's still a month to go!

At the 2011 bash they had quite a few 2012 Corvettes (first year with the current seats) but none of them had the new seats. What they did was bring over a display with a pair of the new seats installed so people could at least check them out. Maybe they'll do something similar this year by bringing over a display of the C7 seats.

For those interested in C7 to sit in and touch...
SAD TO SAY, UNLIKE PAST BIRTHDAY BASH, GOT THIS DIRECT FROM NCM, EXPECT A DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE, JUST LIKE AUTO SHOW, HANDS OFF...
Just got this email, copy and pasted it here
Anthony, although we will have 2 C7s, a coupe and a convertible, at the Bash, they are strictly show cars. production cars for Capture Test Fleet won't be produced until late April or early May and the first chance to sit in a car will be in June at our 60th Anniversary event when we will have 7-10 C7s in various forms available for up close inspection.

I thought the Bash was more up close and personal than the car shows that have been going on across the country.
And... for the first year of C7, I thought it'd be an extra special year to make it out for my first Bash.
Sounds like it's actually less special than other years.
There will be no plant tours, either.
I thought there's at least a half dozen or more C7's already roaming the wild.
Even if they are test vehicles, wouldn't it be cool to have them all come home, at least for the Bash weekend?
Only 2 cars, and we can't touch or see?
This is from the NCM event schedule...
2:30pm – 4:00pm
S10: 2014 7th Generation Corvette Walk-Around
Presented by GM Detroit and Bowling Green engineers and designers
Located on the Plaza outside of the Conference Center
A chance to see, touch and ask about the new C7

As a very content owner of a non-C7, I predict the Bash will be a good time for us.

I am canceling because I was expecting a full compliment of C7's. I have a deposit on a C7 and wanted to see all the colors with different interior choices.
Disappointed,
George.
