Default C7 Sightings

I just returned from a 4,000 mile round trip from Phoenix to Michigan. Surprisingly, I saw as many or more C7's (easily a couple dozen) on the road than all other generations combined. I saw every color but Lime Rock Green. Most popular color - TR, followed by LB and White. Great to see so many on the road!

My route was up through the Tonto National Forest to Holbrook, I-40 to OKC, I-44 to St. Louis, I-55 to I-80 and I-94, and reverse.

Well, we LRGs are a rare breed, and every day that goes by, the percentage gets smaller and smaller!


I hope you enjoyed your trip!

In Northern Virginia, I see very few C7s. In the last 5 weeks, I've only seen 5 or 6. I see quite a few C5s and C6s around. Of course, those were made for a much longer period than the C7, so there should be more. I see C2s pretty regularly, too. Well, one C2. It belongs to my next door neighbor.

I have said this very thing about the Cyber Grays, a bit more abundant than the LRG but each day fewer and fewer C7's are CG.

I did see a stunning CG vert in Missouri - Kalahari top, chrome wheels - beautiful!

I known there are at least 3 in my small town now. My NRB, TR, and a black vert. Still way outnumbered by the other versions.

If you took I-80, you went right past my house. Why didn't you stop?

I see more Vettes of the earlier generations of Vettes in my area. But there are a bunch of Vettes where I live so that really is not a surprise to me.

There is almost no c7s in NYC. throughout the year i saw only 3. I am not even going to lie, i love how much attention this car gets and being the fact that there isnt much c7s here everyone is breaking their necks trying to get a glimpse.

I don't think I'd drive my C7 in NYC either.
