My tongue was firmly in cheek I am sure Chevy has no problem getting much better photos. This was cool for me because it was a BMW event I was one of 3 new C7's at the track. The photographer took pictures from many different areas on the track. I really just loved this one.

It really is a fantastic track car.

Like I said it is a scan not the digital picture which is very clear.

There are more critics on this board than actual enthusiasts.

No wonder I haven't posted in weeks, it is a nothing but people with sarcastic opinions.

Let's see beautiful car, track, background, bridge.....

Oh yeah I can't tell if you have wheels.....

If I didn't know better, I would agree with you. But I happen to know this car has the levitation option RPO 16L.

Nice pic OP with great timing! Just ignore the massive amount of horsec0cks on the forum. They have nothing better to do and take abuse from their wives all day so they feel the desire to let it out on CF

Wait...how does a scan make it out of focus?

It is a soft picture, which it sounds like you had enlarged, which makes it even more soft.

This picture I took is soft, you don't see it until you enlarge it but I am very picky with what we shoot.

One mans crap is another mans gold

exactly. and it's only soft from a slow shutter speed to get the motion in the wheels.....one click faster and you have an excellent shot, I am sure you had plenty of keepers.

oops, my wife is calling me, got to go......wonder what I did wrong now.

I understand how you feel. It's pretty cool to see your car in a shot that makes you remember the moment, and celebrate - all over again - the reason you bought the car.

To answer your tongue-in-cheek question about how much Chevy would pay for it ... they couldn't afford it because it's priceless!

1 million dollars. (If you went back in time to 1982 and sold it then)
