I've seen a red Z51 with the top off, driving North on US 17 BYP in my town of Murrells Inlet SC. I was heading South, but it caught my eye immediately! Very exotic looking! I also saw two at a dealership earlier in the week (both pre sold). Very sleek looking and they look much better in person vs. pictures.

I haven't seen any in the Portland, Oregon area yet. I also spent last week in the Phoenix area. None there either.

Only one so far besides mine. I am going to a local Corvette Fall cruise tomorrow so I'd imagine I will see quite a few.

Zero in NJ. Stopped by one Chevy dealer and none on the lot. Didn't expect to see one anyway.

I live in Silicon Valley and do a lot of driving for work. Still haven't seen one either.

But I've seen a Bugatti Veyron! Go figure.

I saw two red ones at the Po'Boys cruise in at Canton, GA today. People kept asking me questions about them while I was looking at them, I thought it was funny, I must look like a Corvette guy....

The one with black interior was a 6M, the other with the Kalahari interior was an auto.

I'll take the stick....

Now I just want to see one in Lime Rock Green

Besides mine I've only seen one other one on the road - a red one southbound on I-270. I saw two at ELOCO when I picked mine up - a Cyber Gray with yellow brakes (not my cup of tea), and a red one - both base. Mine is a NRB Z51.

I have seen a half dozen or so in S.E. Michigan but only one of them was a customer owned car. The others were test fleet. This can be expected here though.

I have actually only seen one on the road and it was him dropping by to show me the car at my shore house in Brigantine NJ, right after he picked the car up from Kerbeck last month. My neighbor came over the next day and said "dude, I saw a White C7 driving through Brigantine last night...gorgeous car". Little did he know it was in my driveway for half an hour. Long story short...there may not be many out yet but when you see one, it's hard not to notice them.
It wasn't me, but it may have been my wife. She's been very nice to me lately.

Some guys saw mine yesterday at Cars and Coffee. A beautiful bright orange McLaren MP4 12C parked next to me, but the C7 was truly the center of attention.

We're headed down 95 to DC today. Top off, windows high.

Zero so far here in central Ohio.

Seems like most of the ones that ship here get shipped back out to other areas of the country. If I was seeing them all the time it would just make it harder for me to wait until I can get mine - at least that is what I'm telling myself!

My C7 is the only one I have seen in person. I am going to two car shows in November where I expect to see others.

In the Minneapolis area one, when my dealer called me to tell me that his first C7 customer Vette had just arrived and would be taken home in a few hours.
