No wide body-no 14 for me
I didn't like the rear end and no wide body. My mind was made up, no 14 for me! I test drove a Z51 today. The first thing I noticed I couldn't see the rear end. When the test drive was over, I got out and looked at the rear end. Man did it look good. And it was funny I didn't care about a wide body. I went in and ordered a yellow Z51 vert 3LT with black mags carbon painted mirrors and spoiler. DRIVE ONE AND TRY TO WALK AWAY THEY ARE THAT SWEET

Another testimony! My order is produced and could be at the dealer this coming week. I havn't driven a C7, going by all the good reviews from those who have.

Can certainly understand and appreciate your thoughts on that. Clearly Chevy has enough buyers (like me) that will buy them having never even seen on in person. I suspect test drives will be available for most everyone in the next 6-12 months though. Hang in there.

I think, perhaps subliminally, that in person, the C7 does display a nice widening of the back quarters. Something that doesn't really come out in photographs. It may also be why side skirts make them look even better because it helps to accentuate the effect.

Wilburn205, you will LOVE this car! Enjoy the production process, it actually goes pretty quickly even though it seems long.
corvetteKent, I test drove just one of my Corvettes, the first, a C4. Dealer would let me drive it only around their dealership property. While I was doing this nearly worthless exercise, another guy came in and bought it sight unseen. I guess that taught me to just order what I want and get on with it. I have loved them all.

Does this C7 make my butt look big?

No test drive for me either...
My car was on the showroom floor. Didn't drive it until the papers were signed and the temp tag was on the back. It didn't matter. After everything I read about the car, I knew I wouldn't be disappointed. Almost two weeks later, I am still grinning from ear-to-ear.
This car exceeds my expectations. It looks fantastic and drives perfect. The lines and curves are in all the right places. GM gets an A+ from me.

Hooray for you OP. I have been test driving mine since last October. I have a 650 hp z06 in the shop and I love my c7. It is civilized and nasty, all at the same time.
