Carbon 65 C7 on display at Road America
I'm not a fan of white but it was more of a pearl colored white and looked pretty nice in person. Don't hold me to specifics and accuracy but it's sort of of a Z07 since it has carbon ceramic brake rotors and the cup 2 that wear out in 2000 miles. Anyway, the cute woman that was working there seemed to hope that I post it here so here you go.
This car was Vin number 1 off the line.
PS: Yes I know there is another thread on the car but I wanted this one to have its own thread.

Dave, I really regret not getting her in the picture. She was gorgeous. Talked to her for quite a while since they are bored there and probably prefer to do something to stay busy. She really knew her stuff. If I wasn't twice her age I would have asked for her number.

The Carbon 65 looks great with the blue calipers. It brings up the graphics treatment on the fenders.

The car was meh, the race was great, but all I was looking at was how many parts I could eventually order off of it - carbon fiber shoulder vents; exposed carbon fiber Stage 2 wing - all of this could eventually find their way on my car or on my next Vette.

I was there as well, and of the 5 in our group 4 of us were thumbs down on the Carbon 65. The color just doesn't do it for us and the graphics/stripes looked tacky in our opinion.
During Doug Fehan's talk in the Corral tent he was asked about the mid-engine, etc. and pretty much gave the corporate non-answer.
He did indicate that a front engine/rear drive car is still quite competitive and that due to economics (what the MSRP would need to be) he didn't see GM straying from that for the next generation Corvette-at least for the standard car. We'll see...

I think the exposed carbon fiber weave is a personal cosmetic choice, however I would rather keep the trim Carbon Flash and spend the extra money on a set of lightweight, forged wheels.

Not a fan of those graphics.

Saw one at a car show Saturday. It was ok. The color seemed to have a blue tinge to it in the sun.
