I wonder how many of these cars will show up in DC traffic camera shots if they are test driving in the District? Nice for pics but pretty crappy for a test drive. Then again, if the government shuts down there will be plenty of room on the roads. A much better place would be down here in Southern Maryland.

Guy didnt admit this to police. Did admit to me, that they would have one car leave and get a 15-20 minute headstart on the highway.. and was basically scouting for troopers. Before the other C7's would come blasting down the highway. As a person who grew up watching movies like Smokie & the Bandit, and shows like the Dukes of Hazzard & Knight Rider.. I definitely think these guys hired to drive the C7's from location to location have the best job I can think of!

Actually I have an even better story. Talked to the guys who were moving the cars around and positioning them. And was joking they have the best job ever. One told me a story about when they showed them off in Texas and drove them several hundreds of miles to another location. When they arrived they stopped by law enforcement, who told them of several reports they had received of them speeding at triple digit speeds through the state. Of course they denied they going that fast. And one of the LEO's got on the radio with the state police helicopter. The chopper was following the C7 crew and using the dotted white lines to calculate their speed, said they were doing speeds easily up to 130mph or more.

I'm in exactly the same boat. I thought Laguna Blue with gray interior was a no-brainer for me until seeing pics of Arctic White with Adrenaline Red. The AW /AR is a stunning combo! Decisions, decisions.
