Default C7 spotted in N. Las Vegas!

So I'm minding my business driving home from work when I see a black C7 on the street. Didn't think they were out yet. Worst part....no wave to me in my lowly C6 GS It looked pretty cool minus the dirt all over it. Didn't look like a test car or anything. I was hoping to follow it but didn't go my way. Anyone else spot that car? I know there is a big following out here in Vegas. Trust me, I would have taken a picture if I had the time but it pulled out behind me and then turned again.

They aren't out yet! This is a test mule.

Production won't start for a few weeks. Probably not on the street until September or so.

Good to know, pretty cool to see it in person.

Maybe it's part of the next Capt. America movie scene being shot in Vegas?

That's the first spotting I've heard of around here. They've been seen in States all around Nev but not here before. Now I'll have to be on my toes with camera ready.

My friend saw this corvette today going south on 95 into the city. He was going North, so he couldn't follow it.

Funny you mention it - I could have sworn A C7 went by me going the opposite way on the 1-15 recently - I noticed the headlamps. I thought no way - but it probably was!

I was on the roof of Margarittaville on the Las Vegas Strip tonight when a gunmetal or black C7 rolled by... could see the tail section but my smartphone cam was too slow to catch it. Not sure what to make of it... but there was no "love at first sight", rather curiosity.

We know it will be in dealers in early September. That means 8 weeks. It also has to coincide with all the published magazine road tests. So with publishing lead times and two week test periods I figure that the magazines will be getting test cars in two to three weeks. Then we will be hearing a lot of leaks. Remember that few have actually driven one yet.

I figure that this black one was a preliminary test car. Maybe they gave one to a magazine to get feedback.

I spotted it last Saturday heading East on Craig Rd. I took a double take as I wasn't sure what I was seeing. The one thing that really stood out though...the car was filthy!!

Wife and I have both spotted a Maroon C7 at different times. Both times in Henderson near Boulder/Sunset.
