Saw my first C-7 on 84 today. It was a white coupe. It was a handsome car with a dapper older gentleman driving. I liked the look of the car very much.

We saw one on the NJT last month.

It was green and with the divided highway, we just saw the front.

Bottom line, I knew right away it was a Corvette and really liked the lines from the front.

I think what would really grab me is the technology in the cockpit.

Still very happy with what I have however. !

See one everyday on my commute home. Dark grey coupe. The front is alot nicer than the rear. Just my opinion.

We've had ours now for about a month. Haven't driven it all that much though as we're doing a few things to it over the winter. Just can't seem to leave anything alone........... Our initial impression is that they've really done a great job with every area.

We also did the Buyers Tour which we thought was fantastic. The tour lasted almost twelve hours and it was great to see it all come together.

Rich - hoping you will post up a few pics of the rear once you finish your mods.

I picked up the rear fascia panel from the Corvette Center recently but haven't installed it yet. They did a great job as usual and I think it's going to work out well.

I'll send some pictures once I have everything back together.

Just re-installed the painted rear lower fascia. I just posted a couple of pictures of what it now looks like in the thread below.

I think this did just what we had hoped. It was bit more involved to remove that panel than you would think but I'm glad we made the change.

I've seen a bunch at dealers and at local events, but I finally saw one "in the wild" this morning!

On Rt. 17 in Paramus, spotted a gorgeous blue "premier edition." If it's the one previously at Paramus Chevy, it's #063! Gorgeous color!

Saw #2 today (yes, on the salt-infested roads of North Jersey): arctic white. Possibly my favorite color yet on the C7. The car appeared to have just left Paramus Chevy, so congrats to the new owner!
