You'll need to drive over around the factory and see if any are parked outside.

Bummer !!!

The C7's they did have at the museum were non-sellable "show" type cars.

Preferably some pics that were obtained after eluding several security guards and crawling through a few large air vents

Only three outside the factory; yellow, white, and TR. All non-Z51. Followed a VY one around town for a bit. Will post pics later. Was hoping to see a bunch like previously pictured.

Well thanks for your efforts. I am a little disappointed that you didn't take the Mission Impossible approach and drop down for some images without anyone seeing you.

Still unable to share images (won't let me upload them). My impression remains the same as when I first saw the car on TV. GORGEOUS. I loved the way the black vents contrasted with the bright color of the vehicle. Being behind the vehicle, it looked wide which I love. The quad exhaust is unique and mean looking and sounded great. From the front the "hockey stick" LED's look great. The only complaint I have (if you could call it that) would be the rear turn signals are yellow. Just a pet peeve of mine. The lines are sharp on the car and it is stunning in person.

If you are not a supporting member, you cannot upload them directly to the forum. Instead, you need to upload them to a photo hosting service like Photobucket (its free). Then follow these instructions.

Thanks for the great instructions! I was able to post my first picture, from an iPad and on my first try. Ever think about a side career of technical writing or editing .
