Default C7 Awards

I am posting the list below that I received from another Corvette nut (like me). I do not know if it is 100% accurate and have not checked every line. I am posting it to start an Awards list for this car. I am sure other C-Nuts our there know more about this than I do and have more information on this topic. What do you think? Are these all real? Are there others? Is someone keeping a better list? Nick
