Default CF Members Kicked Some *** At Vettes On The Rockies! - Lots of Pics

Put Vettes on the Rockies on your Bucket list. VettesnJeeps, PhilEaglesFan, and I met up at the event, and took home some awards. PhilEaglesFan took home 3rd Place in the C6 GS, Z06, and ZR1 Class with a score of 103 out of a possible 107 points. To show you how keen the competition was; I had a score of 105 out of 107 points, and only finished in 4th place in the Base Model C6 category. The first three spots were taken by cars which scored 106 out of 107. I didn't stick around to see if VettesnJeeps took home anything. I hope he did. Here are some photos:

And the C7's were there:

Default Excellent pictures

On the list for next year without fail. Could you post the C7 pictures in the C7 section ? The one with the cargo divider is a first.

I was surprised I placed as I drove 500 miles the day before to get to the show. My 8 year old "navigator" and I are touring Colorado till Monday before we head back to Utah. I'll go to this event every year I can now. The state is beautiful and most people are nice.

C7s were nice. I still love my C6 though. The seats provide more track support, bolsters and front material looks like a carry over from the C6. It seems like less room inside though. The partition is a real good idea. Engine sounds good, not sure about the tail lights.

I can also tell you the Michelin Super Sports are great in the rain. Awards are cool. I'll post a picture when I get home. Generally it is a C6 diecast model on top of a piece of granite.

Great news. My so called 4th place award was one of those finalist slabs of granite too. It's great we all took something home, but the experience was the best part.

I saw Vettes from 18 different states there.

Lived near the Springs for a few months now and had no idea there was any Corvette shows going on.
Congrats on the awards and nice photos of the C7's

White is my favorite color on most cars, but not on the C7. If and when I buy one, it will have to be a dark color to help downplay all the vents and the lower half of the rear end. I want to love this car so bad, but I just can't get passed the rear.

There was a lot of real nice Vettes there today. Some real good representations from all generations. One of my favorite was a C1 that was purchased I think in the 1980s for $150. Yes that is a 3 digit number. I don't know what it is worth today bit I'm guessing high 5 digits at least.

Glad it went well for you.
