Saw someone posting pictures of this on facebook today, noticed it was a Basil car. ![https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/1395205_10151918631452988_1741496652_n.jpg](https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/1395205_10151918631452988_1741496652_n.jpg) ![https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/1379248_10151918631572988_1908292973_n.jpg](https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/1379248_10151918631572988_1908292973_n.jpg) ---

There isn’t a story behind it. It’s out for sale at basil as far as I know. They’ve gotten a few and that’s the only one I’ve ever seen actually hit the lot. Not a lot of dealers around here with them from what I’ve personally seen so far. The c7 is so sexy. ---

From what I’ve heard that’s the only one that wasn’t sold before it got here! Sharp looking cars. ---

If you drive around the back of the lot sometimes you’ll see one still in its protective wrap, not yet detailed for public display. ---

I am not a fan…It looks like a decepticon from the back and when Chevrolet has an original thought that does not make the past 2 gens look like something they pulled from Ferraris garbage can, I would think higher of it. ---

I remember when the C6 came out I felt the same as many here. Too extreme, didn’t care fr many of the features etc. My only dings on this gen are the chrome looking piece in the front bumper. Easy fix On the rear… I don’t hate it but think making it more subtle could help. All one color, I don’t like the fins or whatever they are(black portion) around the tails. - - - Updated - - - With all that said I would drive the hell out of one. I really can’t wait to see what technology comes from the new drivetrain and how the aftermarket responds to it. ---

I really can’t wait to see what technology comes from the new drivetrain and how the aftermarket responds to it. Get a black one or a dark gray one, then you won’t see so much contrast in the back.

I’ve seen a red one out by Lockport/Lewistion or so in a guys driveway and a few when I travel to Michigan for paintball. The back looks better in person but could still use some work. Still a sexy car to me ---
