Currently at 1100 status with a Jasper, Florida dealer. There is one order in front of mine for allocation, then it's my turn!!

...and yes, I know I would of got her sooner with a forum dealer but the deal I got was pretty awesome, and this dealer is a well known Corvette store..

All that matters is that you are happy in the end, and since this is a thread about butts, that's an appropriate way to put it.

I always thought the "Corvette" lettering molded into the rear bumper cover of the C6 looked almost as cheap as the "Corvette" molded into the passenger side of the dash pad.

Great comparison. I am shocked to see how much more modern and stylish the C7 looks compared to the last generation. I use to think my Z06 was the best looking car on the planet, not anymore!

I find various back ends of the fairer sex attractive. Much like that I admire both of these.

It's sort of the same with posters in this section.
One sounds like somebody who is discussing C7's and contributing, and the other sounds like a troll.

Why are the C7 tires so skinny?

Both great looking vettes.

The GS with its wider tires and rear fender flares sure has a tough, masculine look to it from behind.

The C7 is clean and straight.

Fun stable, OP. Nice.
