Default Corvette Academy - lots of pictures

I just got back from Pahrump, Nevada for the Corvette Ride and Drive and let me tell you, the Corvette Stingray is one amazing car. All the pictures and videos of this car do not do it justice... there is not one detail on this car that has been spared, and the looks of it are only bolstered by its performance. This is the first Corvette in history that is "track ready" straight from the factory. I was told the only adjustment to take it from street to track is to replace the factory Dexos oil with Mobil 1 (all covered in the owners manual). From the first moment I laid eyes on the car I was enamored. After driving one, I can not possibly see myself driving any other sports car for the rest of my life. So much technology combined with high performance that makes any novice driver feel like a pro. I could go on and on all day talking about this beauty, but I'd rather just show you.






Should be seeing our first C7s arriving at Stingray Chevrolet Monday or Tuesday

That should tick off some of the trolls still frequenting this sub-forum(though strangely silent lately).

Great shots! First shot of a black car, with black wheels, and yellow calipers that I have seen. That is how I ordered my car

Hey, I saw me in one of your pics! (2nd shot with car 47)

Glad you had a great time and learned a lot! I honestly believe that this car will always be easy to sell. I am hoping that it forces GM to up the production numbers to where they were in the early 2000's.

Now that's the way to take pictures. The car is in the frame and your subject is well lighted. Great job. I have been on other forums and the pictures look like they left the iPhone on by mistake.

Of everything in this post, the thing I find most interesting is this, " I was told the only adjustment to take it from street to track is to replace the factory Dexos oil with Mobil 1 (all covered in the owners manual)."

That tells me the factory Dexos oil isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Great pics, but is there a reason we hardly get to see any rear shots in these threads?

Trying to finalize what color I want, but 90% of pics on threads only show front half of car! Either way sorry for the rant, thank you!
