2016 C7 of the Year Finalist

Default Corvette Reunion at Laguna Seca

I finally got to sit in a C7 today at Laguna Seca and in a word it was fantastic! The seat holds you perfectly and is extremely comfortable.

Do to the slow internet where I am staying I will only be posting a few pictures of the C7s. Of course there were magnificent Corvettes from every series there.
Some of the C7s




Symphony trumpets


Power transfer point




And some C7 views you may not have seen










Hope you enjoy

In Reno they wouldn't let anyone sit in the cars. What color do you like after seeing them in person?

My preference is Torch Red with the Adrenaline Red interior. To my taste it is class Corvette and really shows off the lines of the C7. But if I was just selecting which colors were beautiful (independent of showing off the detail of the body lines), the Night Race Blue looked fantastic in the bright sunlight where you could see the metal flake (any part out of bright sunlight looked black).

Thanks for all the great pics! Looking forward to more...especially from the rear structure overall.

Got anymore images of the rear vent area? It looks like this fan is drawing air out of the upper intake toward the back end. Is there venting from the brakes to that fan also?

So ......... I was there today (Sat.), and all the cars were locked. I mentioned that you sat in the white one Friday, and the guy said - oh yeah, we forgot to lock it, and he got in before we could stop him. We killed him! Now they're all locked. Sorry about your early demise.

Did any of the cyber gray ones have a red interior? I've been searching for such a pic but no luck so far.
