Saw one in person for the first time last night, black with black wheels. It was driving past me, looked sick and had a nice but kind of quiet exhaust note. Definitely not going to mistake it for anything else on the road. Two of my female co-workers were with me and they were talking about how good it looked and they aren't exactly car people.

Went to Royal Purple Raceway last night and saw 2 C7's yellow and white. I have to say I am impressed with the way they look in person. The design is very modern only downside to that is that when it was next to any other car out there it made them look like they were from the 90's. The interior is so far above anything they have offered in the past it was like they hired another company do it, I am not joking. The owner of the white one had it for 5 days, it is an auto. and he didn't know which setting to put it into run the 1/4, I suggested Sport. He ran a 12.2 @ 116 mph, not bad considering it was 81 degrees and 75%+ humidity. Track conditions weren't great as it was Friday Night Street Night. I am sure once he gets it dialed in and the weather and track conditions improve it'll run 12.0-11.9's without a problem.

As if the new C7 wasn't impressive enough, I just heard that a red C7 (tuned/stock radials) at Royal Purple Raceway just ran an 11.47 @ 121.9 mph! after I left. It ran a 11.67 @ 120 mph while I was there. Stock down to its street radials, it is an automatic. weather was in the mid to low 60's.

It's good either way, but almost a bummer(for nitrous users everywhere) that a tuned C7 has run only 3/100ths slower than one with a 100 shot. Granted, the nitrous car is way faster.
