it's something to note that the red vette looks perfectly at home next to the ferrari in the bottom right shot.

never saw the flick. I have been actually looking into a Camaro ZL1 ( anyone who knows me knows that I would have never considered an GM product ) until I went to the forums and saw all of the quality issues and all of the upset owners and the ones who keep making excuses for the car like " well what do you expect its a GM car". Too bad. Guess it will have to be a used GTR or ISF for my V8 fun fun fun

Tight, but not uncomfortably so. The entire time, he's sitting next to me shouting "punch it, harder!" LOL...

For the first time, I'm wishing my IS350 had more power! (And a manual transmission)

ZL1 has to be the slowest 500hp stock cars ever made. modded, ive seen on camaro5 forums can be nice but this base c7 is faster than the zl1 which is comical. i just can't get into the camaros. gtr, c7, ..hell i can even see myself in a 13' gt500.

Chevrolet announces Corvette Stingray Premiere Edition Convertible

2013-11-26

DETROIT – From a scale model to the real car, there are many ways to give America's iconic sports car, the Corvette, this holiday season. This Top 10 list, with prices from $12 to $77,450, should make it easier to find the perfect gift for any Corvette enthusiast.

Topping the list is the all-new Corvette Stingray Premiere Edition Convertible. Production will be limited to 550 all top-of-the-line 3LT models, all in Lime Rock Green exterior and Brownstone suede interior. The vehicle also includes suede-wrapped interior trim, carbon fiber accents, variable tuned performance exhaust system, Z51 Performance Package and Magnetic Selective Ride Control.

The Premiere Edition also features unique wheels with "Stingray"-logo center caps, "Stingray"-logo interior sill plates and a five-piece set of Corvette-branded luggage from Thule – all from the Corvette Accessories catalog.

These collectible cars will have a unique VIN sequence and unique dash plaques commemorating their limited-edition status. The Premiere Edition Convertible will cost $77,450, including destination and delivery fees, and will arrive in dealerships in early 2014.
