Default C7 Sightings

While I'm seeing more C7s of late, they're hardly commonplace. Was very surprised to see two white convertibles in a span of 60 seconds west of Boerne, TX a few days ago. Glad to see more folks out there with good taste in cars. Don

Up here in Austin I seen one about every other day. It's nice to see the different configurations that owners have.

In the DFW area I rarely see a C7 on week days (or any Corvette, for that matter), but it seems they all come out on weekends. Not unusual to see 4-5 during a 30 mile drive in No. Dallas/Plano on Sat. or Sun. But I have never seen another in LRG. As far as mine is concerned, it is out there to be seen everyday of the week...

The same can be said for the South FW/ Burleson area. I seldom drive mine on weekdays, so I totally get it.

Here in lower central NC, the most I see are C5's. There is one red C6 GS in the area I see quite a lot. I like those wide tires but would not want to pay to replace them. C7's are very rare.

I think I'm still the only one in town. If there are others, I never see them. Dealer has one occasionally, but buyers are usually from out of town.

There were 5 of us at the show in Cottage Grove a few weeks ago and 18 of us at the Grants Pass show in July

I get really excited seeing them out on the roads, different perspective from driving / garage viewing

Although the other morning I saw a yellow lambo going through my neighborhood which is pretty rare as no one wants to actually put miles on lambos

the secret is out here...just saw a MY 'vert at Safeway today and passed one yesterday (1.2 mill population). When I took delivery of mine Dec 20, 2015 I was the first 10 to get one out of about 350 in all of Canada, it was very rare, now, sadly, not so much. They still aren't common place but are getting more popular.

Haven't seen a C7 out on the road here in a while. Too early to be putting them away for the winter, but there can't be more than a handful around here anyway so chances of seeing one are a bit slim.

Rarely see them here in SE Ohio. Weekdays it's extremely rare to see one.
It's a weekend getaway spot here so I occasionally see one when people drive here from one of the big cities to visit.

My son and I always comment on just this topic. We are in SE WI and have probably seen a total of 8-10 C7s in the past year. Not exaggerating either. Considering it is the third year for this model, one would expect to see a lot more.

I have owned my new SG coupe for exactly one month, and already have 3,500 miles logged. Love to drive the wheels off of it and do every chance I get. Especially with winter hibernation coming soon.

I am in Southern Ontario and C7 sightings are more frequent. There are now a few in my area. I typically see a C7 anytime I am out in mine. Mine is still turning heads.

Well, they must be out there. Just based on sales numbers, 2014 and 2015 together sold about as many cars as the last 5 1/5 years worth of C6 production. Personally though, I don't mind not seeing that many in my area.

Daily here in Atlanta - granted I live/work in Buckhead.

This morning I've already seen a black/black 1LT with chrome rims. Z06 are still not that common.
