Default National Corvette Museum Birthday Bash Information

Would it be possible to go ahead and sticky this thread so that anyone and everyone who has information from The Bash (pictures, videos, etc) can enter it all into one thread?


Is this a good idea? Or, am I just pi$$ing in the wind?

Whoever is attending and goes to the Doug Fehan/Corvette Racing talk, please probe and post details about Long Beach Grand Prix incident and the aftermath. See what you can get from Fehan!!!

Edit: Bahhhh...it's race weekend, no FEHAN!!! Dangit!!! I was actually considering heading up for a day, but no race talk=I'm not goin.

Done! Plus, any new threads that are started about the Birthday Bash will be merged with this one.

There's some new info over on SRF. Which brings up another question:

Does everyone here just have another account in the same name over there? (I do). Seems confusing to have to check/consult both...

Lol mine's the same over there too.

I wish people would take more Z51 pictures though. I have no interest in the GS and I'm trying to finalize a 2016 vs 2017 Z51 3LT order. No one's posting any pictures of any Z51s or saying if there is any visual difference (inside or outside) on the Z51s.

Obviously there are some new options (like red belts) but beyond those I don't think there are any changes to the Z51 announced. I'll report in directly from NCM tomorrow... Hopefully they have a catch-can or other solution built into the LT1 now.

There's a sticky thread up above but it hasn't seen any action. Kind of gets lost up there.

The problem with this being a sticky is that anyone using Garage Talk (mobile) forgets about it... There's no reference among to standard active threads in the GT interface.

Yes, please.

Any changes at all... catch cans, more cooling, wheel designs if any, the infotainment touch screen (I know you guys said just Android auto but any other changes like it being capacitive instead of resistive), the leather wrapped or stitched shift paddles... all those kindsa things I wanna know about / see in pictures if possible.

Nothing really to get excited about for 17. Few minor changes and couple new colors. Meh. If I was in the area I would attend. I would not make a pilgrimage for this year's event.

I quit going to SRF many months ago. Insanely restrictive. The mods there will delete your posts for no good reason at all. This forum is far better.

Indeed, I was asked to leave for saying my wife's breasts are beautiful (they are amazing).

Other times the main guy there, jvette (jeff), posts erotic literature about his car "redhot" I wish I was kidding, but it's a creepy internet site for sure.

What it has, that this forum does not, is a good signal to noise ratio. I think this is due to just having far fewer visitors and a much older crowd.

No difference between 2016 and 2017. Body, fascia front & rear, wheels, etc. all the same. I am sure there will be a price increase.

Hmm, looks like the shift paddles are colored on the 3LT with the colored stitching option. This is from Mike Furman's picture btw.

The presentation by the GM folks on what's new isn't until tomorrow. As such, there's really not much to report that hasn't already been reported here.
