Were there any more pictures or a model on display of the new Tiger Shark Grey?

In talking with the GM engineers at the Bash, they have made over
40 design changes, flaw corrections, or improvements in the 2014
already. It is a constant going forward probably until the end of the
model run many years from now.

The only Tiger Shark Gray car in existence right now was out at
the show in New York so we didn't get to see the color on a whole
car. The color was used on the inserts on the Atlantic car so did
get to see a small sample of it, not enough to make a final judgment
though.

Guess there isn't much new with the 2015's aside from the Z06 and a few paint changes.
I've been disappointed in the Bash info for two years in a row now.
Last year went down to see the new C7, be able to sit in the seats,
etc. and they wouldn't even let us touch them. This year they had
a bunch of C7 out front to touch, sit in, look over etc. but this was now
old news. Maybe the bash happens a little to early for GM it get their
ducks in a row for the new model year. They've only been working
on the PDR for example for 7 years.

Me too, at least the polished wheels won't stone chip so easily as
the silver painted ones.

Can't help but wonder if this will be update-able / upgrade-able via the dealer given that the content is digital?
