Thanks, now to just decide if it is worth the 4 hour drive to have a look.

I don't love that color, but to each their own. I'm a blade silver fan and clearly in the minority there.

Maybe it's the cloud cover in this video but it looks a lot darker than the picture we saw of the hood outside in the sun at the Bash in Bowling Green. I was hoping LRG was going to be a brighter green than this

Looks like I'll be searching for Laguna Blue when the time comes for me to move up to a C7.

This is the Green they should have offered.

Wow! That's what I've ordered - LRG with Brownstone. I chose black wheels, though. It looks awesome to me, and I can't wait to get it.

Thanks for posting the video.

Beautiful color. It subdues the frantic creases, quiets the screaming colors that contrast so sharply with all the black plastic, and makes a dignified statement of capability that all the macho/gangsta cars ruin.

I just drove 1000 miles! Grant it I was in OHIO when I heard it was going to be here, and I LIVE an hour away from TMS, so I got home ASAP.

If I ordered a C7 it'd be identical to the one in the video

I just hate to see fellow Corvette enthusiasts arguing over that sort of stuff when there are folks like Guibotch to argue with. Don't want to provide any comfort to those here with an anti-Corvette agenda
