I saw the car at the New York show. I love the car and it makes the C5/C6 look old and outdated. The coupe looks like a missle waiting to launch. I can see sales returning back to 30,000 a year.

As did I.
Like others I cannot get enough of this car, here are some pics I took at the show:

Haven't seen it yet. My brother saw a few while rolling past Bowling Green a few days ago. He's never liked Corvettes but thought the C7 looked awesome. That's good enough for me.

Haven't seen it in person yet, but really looking forward to it. Mainly because from the pictures I am not sure that all of the various appearance design elements work for me. I want to put my unease to rest.

So far, though, Cyber Gray is looking much better than the red (still Torch Red?).

I saw it last month out in the Los Angeles area at the Hot Rod Magazine 65th Anniversary event at Fairplex in Pomona. I really liked it.

Saw it this last weekend at Laguna Seca. Pictures of the car do it no justice. Looks fantastic in person.

I saw it at the Peterson Auto Museum in SoCal a while ago. Looks awesome and pictures really mess with the scale.

Went to a dealership a couple weeks ago for my C6GS and one of the random employees was trash talking the new model. "If I want to buy a Camaro, I'll buy a Camaro" were his exact words. He had not seen it in person...

Took the drive and train up to NYC to see it for myself. I t was love a first sight. Really exceeded my expectations. That was enough for me to do a drive another 2 hrs in the opposite direction to see Mike and put down my deposit.

Both Torch Red and Crystal Red Metallic are offered on the C7.

On January 17, 2013, daughter Karen and I drove to the North American International Auto Show to see the newly announced 2014 Corvette. I like it a lot!

Saw both the coupe and the convertible at the Bash in April. Will see them again in June at the 60th Party at the Museum.

Default Awesome Great Front, Corvmaro Back - Yuck

The C7 looks like an ultramodern Corvette from the front. And it looks like a Camaro with a Celica GT Liftback on it from the back.

I can't believe GM is actually putting that back end into production.https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...ilies/ack2.gif

Saw it in DC, parked at the curb. The Cyber Grey coupe just before they took it to the New York auto show. Looks a lot better in person.
I like it inside and out.
