Default C7's in Naples area

I'm in Naples for the winter and have my Vert. here. On at least 3 occasions I have seen 7 C7's in a row. Anyone know the deal with this? Are you one of these guys? In the 7 months I had my car in Ohio I saw 2 other c7's.

GM has been known to test down there. My son sees them all the time. He saw C7's before the public had them.

Yes they are all testing these C7's for GM. If you see them again they all have "Michigan Manufacturer" plates on them.

Last month I seen 4 C7 Z06's in Naples all driving together being tested.

I'm sure that's a tough job but someone's got to do it.

South Florida is like few other places in the world. Corvettes are common cars that are everywhere down there. Lots of people with money, and lots of old guys that will grab breakfast and drive in convoys together.
