Secondly the C7 & Camaro in my other pic above all just 2 of my numerous Bowties that I own!!! I didnt write the C7 was a widebody, I wrote that Topo would be doing the widebody to it after SEMA!! I have seen TOPO's C7 build for SEMA in person and the color choice is perfect and NOT going to be found on any other C7 at the show period!
Public apology to Spymaster. It is a "widebody".
I've seen several of them up close.... this one is much more subtle than the ones I've seen.

Anyway... I was wrong, you were right.

BTW- Thanks for the nice PM.


Now - back to the C7 widebody thread-

Stay classy San Diego!

So now I'm wondering if in two years, they will wrap the wide body around the Z51 package, call it the GS again and offer a wide body vert? Which is ultimately what I want. I'd rather wait for that then buy two C7's a few years apart.
