Default Nice poster in this week's Autoweek...best I've seen so far.

The boys down the road from me in Ann Arbor, Mi put out a nice poster with the latest issue...3 page foldout on heavy paper.

At least there is enough space to snip it...makes a nice landscape print.

I think it is actually black, and not body color, but the best shot of the rear I have seen for sure!

Better yet, lay it flat on an ironing board, lay a towel over it, and iron the creases out on a low-medium setting (with steam).

A "stock" Z51 Corvette Stingray (with options) is what was in Jay's video.. not a "base" Corvette Stingray. Most of the Corvette pin-up type pictures produced in the last few years have all been Z06, ZR-1, and GS.. not the base model.

That explains it perfectly.....then all the talk about the price being around what a C6 is doesnt help me....LOL....Jays garage and the launch night in Detroit is the machine I am after.....thanks for clarifying.....Should be very exciting to see in Toronto in a few weeks
