What an awesome looking car. I am jealous. :cheers:

ATC399 10-04-2013 06:01 PM

obscured your tag and you are driving a white neon sign...got to love it...Enjoy the "7"

RC000E 10-04-2013 06:04 PM

Dude...that's one of the best schemes right there. Carbon flash mirrors, black wheels...all good things. Only thing I could possibly like better is the exposed carbon roof with the painted sides. Aside from that though...lower that car a little, plastidip the stingray emblems black along with the chrome strip. Get rid of the Corvette letters on the rear and bam....you're rockin hardcore. That's what I would do.....to start anyway....lol.

cbboarder 10-04-2013 06:06 PM

Dude, I think you have the wrong car. That should be in my driveway, not yours!

Congrats on the color combo and accessories. I ordered mine the exact same way. It was built on Wednesday, so hopefully I'll have it in my hands in the next week or so.

cbboarder 10-04-2013 06:07 PM

Are the windows tinted?

I have to say WHITE is AWESOME in the C7!!!!!!

VERY NICE!!!!!

Nice. I wonder if an exposed carbon fiber top would be too much contrast.

Roidz 10-04-2013 06:27 PM

I don't see any pictures for some reason :/
Maybe cause I'm on my phone??

JerriVette 10-04-2013 06:29 PM

Beautiful car!

~Stingray 10-04-2013 07:17 PM

I can't believe this car looks good in almost every color.

JimNeedsC7 10-04-2013 07:21 PM

I was just thinking the same thing - this car is flat out beautiful in every color that it comes in - which is not the case with most cars. I have my favs but I also have loved every combo that people have posted pictues of.

What a gorgeous automobile Chevy has created for us to enjoy!

millers1 10-04-2013 07:29 PM

Beautiful car! Love the carbon flash painted mirrors and spoiler--in my opinion it makes the car.

I bought mine from Sean just have to keep waiting is all. Nice Guy he is.

gbjerke 10-04-2013 07:47 PM

Interior pics would be much appreciated. Love the white and am considering red for interior but afraid it would be a bit much colorwise. Would love to see what you have.

Beautiful car. She just jumps off the screen. When are you adding the supercharger?

Jagcvette 10-05-2013 08:45 AM

Man, I really love the white C7 corvettes, and that is coming from a Red C6 owner. Excuse my ignorance, but what does "AW" stand for? Throughout the rest of the auto industry, it stands for All Wheel Drive, but obviously, Chevy has decided it stands for something else. Thanks, Jeff

Just an abbreviation of the color.

AW = Arctic White

Jagcvette 10-05-2013 08:56 AM

Well Daaaaa, sometimes I feel pretty silly, thanks for the V8 moment. Although with all this increasing horsepower, I really wish Chevy would consider All Wheel Drive. I have a Lingenfelter with 550 hp and the only limiting factor is traction. Seems silly to me that Chevy's answer is to limit the hp at launch instead of Porche's answer of AWD.

kirbsc 10-05-2013 08:59 AM

There are some cars that white is not a good color - this is definitely not one of them!! :thumbs:

Awesome - enjoy the drive!

Probably just my photo skills. I take all my pictures with a Canon in manual, and I forgot to brighten that picture up before posting it. The tail lights are not smoked.

Probably about 15 times :D Driving it down the highway and people keep pulling up next to me and taking pictures. Pulled into the store parking lot this morning and had about 5 different people come over to see it. It definitely gets peoples attention.

Best compliment so far..... Driving down by the beach this morning, had a guy in a Lambo Gallardo pull up next to me and give me the thumbs up!! :thumbs:

Darkest allowed in Florida. I believe it is around 35% on the fronts and a little darker on the rear. Noticeably made the car a little cooler inside.

I've already talked to Hennessey about doing their HPE600 upgrade. Just waiting to get more info on it before taking the car to them. Probably sometime in Nov. I'm waiting for the long tube headers to be available so I can do the exhaust and the supercharger at the same time, of course a full custom tune as well.

John510 10-05-2013 01:56 PM

Beautiful. The black/white contrast is perfect.

HogwildC7 10-05-2013 02:08 PM

That was the one I was going to order. But glad you got it? Did you tint your windows?

DRLC5 10-05-2013 02:09 PM

Every time I look at your pics it makes me want to go out and order a stingray. I have to be strong and wait for the Z07 or what ever it will be called. One thing for sure it will be AW with black wheels.

Yes, darkest legal here in Florida which is about 35% What part of McKinney do you live in. I still own a house there that I rent out. I lived there for 4 years while working for TI.

Hang in there man. The car is well worth the wait. I feel for all the guys who's car went to Nash Hell. Hopefully you guys will get your car soon.

CARTOON 10-05-2013 03:47 PM

OddJob, that is one badass Storm-Trooping looking m**********r. Im sure there will be some flack caught on my side for this comment, but IMO, the C7 does NOT look good without black wheels. The black wheels add such an aggressive look to the car. The standard finish wheels are so extremely boring. Blah. Great choice on the Z51 package. Not sure how anyone could not order it.

RC000E 10-05-2013 03:56 PM

Sucks we live so far apart...I'd like to take a pic of my c5Z next to yours. Our pics are at different exposure levels, and my white is a pearl satin, but side by side they have such similar schemes. I love that GM is delivering this level of current style...very trendy....

Your car is killing me...I am holding off the for the hi-po car, but all these C7's getting delivered has me in pain...lol.

B747VET 10-06-2013 03:34 PM

Killer car!!

Many congrats on choosing what may just turn out to be the best C7 color schemes and equipment options!

I've always been a red or blue guy but I've had two white cars over the years. First thing I noticed seeing black, white, red, blue, and yellow C7's all together at Laguna Seca was that the AW viewed from all angles really shows every curve in a very pronounced manner and helps one to appreciate the nuances of the design segments from every perspective. The black trim pieces and wheels just make it perfection.

Black wheels, black rear panels, black spoiler, black mirrors, and the black intake/exhaust vents are simply unbeatable on the AW.

Last month I was thinking Carbon Fiber roof panel to complete the look. But, seeing these pictures, I am now thinking that perhaps the black roof, while quite cool, obscures the visual flow of the top and side views. Tough call either way, but I really like yours.

I'm ordering a set of HSE P40SC wheels for it in black. They take about 6 weeks to get but should have them on the car by Dec.

bigterpsfan 10-07-2013 10:42 AM

If I can hold out for the Z version, it will be AW with red interior, lowered and tinted windows with black wheels. I am usually not a big fan of black wheels, but they looks good on the C7 in white, plus I would imagine they are less maintenance. I would also remove the stingray badges and corvette lettering and go with black cross flags front/back. I am assuming the chrome piece in the front would be gone. That is my vision of the perfect C7Z for me.

rexracerx9 10-07-2013 10:54 AM

GREAT looking car OP! Love the carbon spoiler and mirrors!

I wonder how White would look with white spoiler and mirrors. Or with exposed carbon fiber roof? Can anyone Photoshop the spoiler and mirrors white so we can see the car side by side?

Again...great looking car!

White callipers?
 
Instead of red callipers, I think white would be perfect on this car! Nothing but black and white! Unless you get the red interior then it might be a nice tie in.

355Spider 10-07-2013 12:52 PM

Looks awesome. The same color scheme as my ZR1. Viewing it from the side reinforces my belief that the side markers should be blacked out. One orange and one red is distracting and takes away from the flow.
