I finally got one!
After much waiting for the right time to buy and then an agonizing search and decision whether to buy New or Used, I finally found one and was able to purchase it.
I had a thread recently about a Premier edition that I had found and by the time I got around to being ready to make the purchase it was bought by someone else that day. I did find 3 other Premier's and 2 of them had the clear roof which was a big NO for me, but the third had the Carbon Fiber roof, so I called on it. Guess what, it sold just hours before I called. I found another car, not a premier but pretty darn close. Not a Z51 though.
It is a used 2014 3LT Base Laguna Blue with Brownstone, Chrome Wheels, Carbon Fiber dash and the Z51 spoiler.
It was a bit of a long-distance purchase so I just got home after a 500 mile drive through a fair amount of rain. It was a great drive though and I thoroughly enjoyed the car. So now she sits all road-grimey in the garage until I can clean her up and wax her. Then I'll get much better pics and post 'em up. 'Till then, these are the 2 pics I got.
(Please excuse my garage)

Thanks so much everybody!
I'm jealous of all you folks going to the bash!
beepster,
If I remember correctly, this is on the performance page of the readout.
Hit the left button to get the list in the center dial. It's the second one down. Select that and then scroll up/down until you see the car icon in the center. I believe it's pretty easy. I had 7 hours on the road to explore the screens! LOL

Good looking car and color combo but please take it out of "E" mode 
A Corvette shouldn't even have that mode but I digress.... And yes, I know it's part of the reason we don't pay a gas guzzler tax but I still consider it a joke.
All kidding aside, enjoy your new to you C7!

Go to "settings", set dash display to "touring". Then go to "performance", and scroll until you see it.
