This is why I don't like black wheels. You can't even make them out in these pics.

I think the most exciting thing is the Corvette is now out there. On the streets, in the showrooms and soon enough in my garage. VIN 1518!

You will no doubt get a lot of looks over the first year so you better not be shy!!!

Absolutely a stunning looking car. It has great lines.

I am tempted to call them because that appears to be very close to what I want.

I keep going back and forth. Arctic White ... Torch Red ... Arctic White ... Torch Red ... I bet I go with Arctic White.

Same here. Not a fan of all black. My build is identical but with silver wheels and a vert.

Every time I see an AW my knees buckle...

Still waiting to see an AW Z51 vert.....

I also saw my first C7 in person, this morning. It was also in white.
The rear end looks better in person than the pics, and does not seem very "camaro-ish" to me at all though I have heard many say so.

The front end looks... not so good. Where are all the curves? It's more like 'edges'. It looks like it "had" sexy curves and then someone stepped on it with a giant shoe. It just doesn't sit right to me.

My '77 from nose to tail "feels" like one fluid artistic brush stroke. So did the GS I had.. The C7 does not. Its lines seem awkward, unfinished, misinterpreted, something.... I don't know. I really REALLY hope the HiPo version has a different (better) front-end and hood line like the ZR1 did.

Congrats to all the new C7 owners that are starting to take delivery. It must be super exciting!!! But it's just not for me. I'm not feelin' it.

--added-- Maybe an aftermarket body kit and hood will come out soon?

Great looking sports car ( except for that Z51 spoiler)

Good luck with yours and many happy miles of motoring!

From what I was told...

The car was ordered on 01-13-13, The reveal was at 7pm CST, Dude was in there at 7:30pm. The car got here and at the last second, He backed out - Changed his mind and ordered an Automatic.

2 weeks ago a dude that worked near by placed an order for a White base model, They asked him to come look at THIS white one since dude backed out - He liked what he saw and came back with 20k down.......couldn't get financed for the rest.

After dude left, A random 25 year old Firefighter was there - Fell in love with the car and offered up his Camaro SS for trade.....he couldn't get financing either.

If it was Night Race Blue I woulda bought it - That car has every option and trim I want just all the wrong colors lol
The firefighter came in 2 weeks ago and it just so happened the guy who had ordered this car jumped off, so he jumped on it. He had no idea it was going to be here this quick, he was thinking October. Im a salesman here, and I spoke with the guy.

My first time seeing the car in person was yesterday as well. They are truly kick *** in person.

Lord have mercy that's the exact car I'm ordering, and what is sitting as my desktop wallpaper as I type. Tinted it will be damn near impossible for people not to stare at it...
