I should have looked a little closer, I thought it might be the midnight race blue. There haven't been that many that have posted pics here of their black C7s. And I thought black was always the best seller for vettes, I'll be curious to see the end of year stats.

Hope you're enjoying your new Stingray. Please feel free to tell us how the transition is going from your 370z, I see many of those on the road and always admire their style.

What a different animal the Stingray is from the Nissan. Of course I am being nice while it breaks in but i can feel it just wanting to take off like a rocket. hoping for another sunny day tomorrow so i can take it on another cruise.

I agree. I can't stand those black cop car wheels.
