Default Alive-

Tim, congratulations -- looking forward to your updates and how-too information for the C 7's; mine will be VIN # ??? to be completed early Thursday.

Six LookingGlass Corvette Club members from the St. Louis metro area visited the plant on Friday... I witnessed the first six C 7's come "alive", the first 2015 Shark grey, was started with great excitement by my friend John. We also happened to be in the right place at the right place at the right time. It was a good day!!!

Thanks Troy ( FCCCVPMan ) for hooking me up with the info!





Here's a couple of shots as my car went through quality control, just after fluid fill and start up.

Also, thanks Keith ( kvozel ) for making the drive down from Ohio and sharing the day!!!

If anyone wants to try to catch your car on the production line, drop me an IM and I'll fill you in with the details...

I need a drink.
That is the color combo I plan on getting, however I am torn between the gray top and the blue top which you have. BTW great idea with the tee shirts.

They are both great combinations. My C6 was LeMans Blue with gray top and two tone titanium.

I think I will like the blue just a little better. Classy look.

Were the tail light lens red or clear as on the GM Z06 being shown?

Woody I've tried to e-mail you to get the information on when my car will be built I just don't know if I'm doing it right to send you the message looking for your help in finding out the information I'm looking for.
Thanks,
