Alma School and Willis, which is north of the San Tan 202 in Chandler, AZ. Almost all of our street lights here in the valley look like this, what is weird about them?

I am guessing the cars were driven up to the valley from the Desert Proving Grounds. I work 4 miles from this area, wish I would have been one of them to capture a picture, but I'm sure I'll see one sooner rather than later.

You've been able to rent a C6 Corvette for years. Did those look rental car-ish to you?

Yep - they did after i saw them at tampa airport at the hertz rental. -- but the c6 did not give me the ferrari kit car feel.

I'm really trying to like this. It's a vette! Hope it grows on me.

I'm still wondering why the brake lights keep flickering on two of the test cars.

I wondered the same thing and did a Google search, which turned up a link to an Alpha Romeo forum, where they were also discussing tail light blink. The thread has many posts, but essentially the LEDS are actually blinking, but at a very fast rate that is not detectable to the human eye. Video is recorded at a slower rate, so they look like they are blinking.

Outstanding !!!

It is the first time I have thought to myself that the tail lights really are distinctive and do not look bad at all.

The C7 is going to really take a chunk of sales away from Porsche, BMW, AMG and Ferrari. (and all of those will get the see those tail lights on a regular basis).

Just different refresh rates between the lights and the video camera. I'm surprised you guys haven't seen this on many car videos online.
