The gauge cluster has like a mixed look to me. the rpm looks great and matches the exterior in how futuristic the car looks but the mph,fuel etc looks typical cheap GM from a 98 jimmy. Sent from my iPhone 5 ---

Its nice to hear all the car enthusiast that have normally talked so much shit about Corvette actually talking highly about them and how they are now on the ride path with this car. I’m curious to see what happens with the future of this car and the next step they take to better it. ---

I really miss pop up headlights… call me a fool but the smooth lines when they are down are so nice. I LOVE the C6 design, its very classy. The new C7 still hasn’t grown on me, but maybe when the Zo6/7/10,000 comes out maybe it’ll look better? Best quote > I think the new one (c7) is like my sex drive, hard fast and likly soleless. ---

I saw that on Jalopnik and looked up the VIN. The blue numbered car they mention is one of the premiere editions. They are only producing 500 of those. They only made them in laguna blue with brownstone interior and some carbon bits. I think you get a luggage set as well. Doesn’t surprise me that a dealership would try to get more for one of those but I think the other one that have is just a normal z51. ---
