Night Race Blue - I sure like it. Not sure what I'd get for the interior - gotta see some more.

I braved the rain and drove up from Franklin, TN today.

Here is the convertible ~







Most common heard comments while I was taking photos and standing around this one~

"how old are you?" "Yes, I am 70 also"

"what?"

"I don't like the darker colors on the C7, it does not highlight the body detail as well as the lighter ones"

"Is that brown in a blue car?"

"I like the convertible and all but, it does not look that much different from the C6 whereas the coupe definitely looks different. Most people will probably confuse the C7 convertible for the C6 Grand Sport convertible. I dont think that will not happen with the coupe."

Here is the coupe ~







Most common heard comments while standing around the coupe~

"Are you ready to place your order now?"

"Those are the Z51 rims in chrome"

"There are three top options - so hard to choose"

"I love the rear hatch area!"

"They really did put Camaro tail lights on it didn't they"

"Look how big the exhaust outlets are - they're HUGE"

Mmmm damnit I was sold on Cyber gray.... then it was the all blacked out C7... now that beautiful Night Race, and gorgeous Laguna blue.

How the hell am I supposed to pick?

Did anyone notice the showcar finishes on these vehicles? I wonder if the production cars will have such flawless paint?

There was absolutely NO orange peel whatsoever!

I was there as well and saw the car, It was very nice, especially that fully loaded interior. The Laguna blue C7 Z51 was nice also.
