Have they figured out a fix for the recall??Doing some maintenance on a property and walked into the garage. Brand spanking new and even still has the stickers on it. I'm thinking it's probably going to be a Christmas present for someone. I can't imagine a car like this being delivered and not romped on right away. LOL
Didn't have time to get good shots, and only had my old iphone with me. I like the interior peanut butter color. I was also terrified on touching it, so no shots from inside. This car is worth more than I make in 4 years of wages. haha
To be honest though, it's not as cool looking in person as it is in photos and videos. I think the modded Porsche GT3 that was here before was a far better looking car.
Walked into someone's garage and was greeted with this beastly monster.

until it breaks.
I think the colors inside and out are actually kind of interesting. They’re different. Better than that matte brown Toyota uses on their trd Tacoma.
I do like the old school color options for cars though.
Does the owner work for, or own, UPS?
One of my friends had a light brown Porsche 911. I thought the same thing. Why would anyone buy a brown Porsche?
He traded it for a black Maserati. Good choice - on the colour at least.
I think the microfiber wrapped steering wheel is a bit pricey at $595. I guess I must not be in that market segment.

What games did you work on? I like to follow the industry. Cyberpunk is going to bankrupt CD Projekt Red, hopefully GOG stays alive.
Dayummmm. Zeus Bronze metallic is my favorite color on the new Vette. I gravitate toward unobtrusive colors on my cars, so as not to attract attention.
My Camaro is Light Pewter metallic. I think it's beautiful.
A lot of people would be put off of that color, and at first glance, it wouldn’t be my first choice for this car.
But as someone whose first V8 Camaro was a 1984 Berlinetta in what was called “Dark Gold Metallic” (it was BROWN!), it would grow on me... and after a second glance at this for me - I’d definitely drive it.

I totally dig the technology that goes into these cars but I cannot get into the looks. IMHO, The Vettes from around 2000 were beautiful.
Love the C3s too.

They are still tossing up about bringing a factory RHD version of this to us here in Australia..the word is it'll be around $160,000USD..

That was exactly my thought when I saw the sticker.....if you wittled away some of the $23K in 'options' you'd have a screaming bargain.
Shadow of Mordor was the last one I had any part in.

Shhhh.... don't wake it up, it looks like it Bites.
I finally saw one in person the other day, parked so I could get a good look at it from a walk-around. It was worse than the photos. If you gave a 6th grader a fairly simple design program and a computer and told him to draw a sports car, a new Corvette would be a pretty close copy. I know from a performance standpoint they are pretty impressive but I have very little confidence that they will have good long term reliability records.
Remember the hideous Stutz Bearcats from the 1980's that attempted to use every possible styling cue from a classic 1930's car but ended up looking like a Pontiac Grand Prix pimpmobile ? It's like the same designers wanted to make sure that every "race car" styling feature was used for the new Corvette.
As far as a microfiber covered steering wheel, or Alcantara as some manufacturers are offering, who ever thought that was a good idea ? And for $595 ? What do you think one of those is going to look like after a few years, unless the drivers wear white cotton gloves while driving ?

Saw a black one in person the other day... I really like it. The C7 is still by far the best looking Corvette they’ve made yet though.
