Very cool, Rick. They look gorgeous.

I'm hoping to hear from dealer, (Elco Chevrolet in St. Louis) soon on my delivery (I'm at 4D00 right now, VIN XX.....XX1209). I'll be sure to tell my salesman, Mike Medlin, that if he doesn't kiss the hauler and properly genuflect on the magnificent of the "school" of Stingrays packed so close together that it could be bad Kharma for the rest of his days !!

That's a nice combo... saw it at Carlisle and the way I'm leaning as well. Would love to check it out sometime.

that back up camera is going to work quite well...a little different take than what I've seen on other OEMs...not sure about the 'perspective' lines, but as long as you can keep the car between the side lines should be a neat addition...long overdue on sports cars.
