Default Race Proven Motorsports picks up their new Stingray Z51/pics

The owner of Race Proven Motorsports, Fran S and his crew picked up the new Stingray Z51 yesterday...and Fran says within a few weeks he wants it to run in the 10's. Fran brought his trailer from New Castle, Del to pick up his Arctic White 3LT and Red interior 7spd Z51 cpe. I look forward to hearing the results!

Default What am I looking at ?

So what are we looking at through the hatch window that has all the little C7 emblems all over it ? The cargo mat or the cargo cover ?

Of the C7s I have seen AW with the red interior is my favorite as the AW really shows all the new lines of the C7 better than the other colors and interior goes great with AW

Neither. That's the rear glass itself with tiny C7 logos embedded and flowing down from tiny to larger sizes (top 1/4 portion only of the glass).

Question: can you get the car from the factory just like the one pictured but with white side view mirrors instead of the black mirrors, keeping the black rear spoiler. If so would it cost extra.

No, The option TTV~is for the spoiler and both outside mirrors to be painted Carbon Flash Black Metallic.$100 option.

I agree, I like the black spoiler but the mirrors look like a factory mistake...

Okay Mike, let's have it. What is your favorite exterior color for the C7?

That's like asking him which NFL team he prefers ...... Ravens or the Redskins.

Looks like the sensible way to get white side mirrors and a black rear spoiler is to go with white and than have the spoiler painted.

I agree about the mirrors. I ordered the same car but with black interior and not the carbon flash mirrors or spoiler. I want to paint just the front side of the spoiler. We will see how that works out. Lol.

I grew up in a very small town(pop 3000) in New Jersey. You were either a Jets/Mets fan or a Giants/Yankees fan as a kid. Joe Willie Namath was the Jets QB in 1969 when I was 9 so I was a Jets fan until Bill Parcells took over the Giants in the early 80's. So no I don't root for the Redskins but I follow and admire what the GM of the Ravens has done with their franchise.

As for color choice, that's a personal opinion thing and I am hoping in 2015 GM comes out with a Red Rock (dark orange root beer) like what is on the 2014 Camaro. I had a Daytona Sunset Orange C6 and in the bright sun that color was brilliant.

I have a feeling that one won't stay stock for long
