C7 Corvette Stingrays in the wild! Laguna Blue, Black, and Torch Red [Pics+Video]

Three C7 mules together in Arizona, as spotted by our member Vette_85.

The black Stingray was a Z51 with 7 speed manual. The blue and red ones were base models.

This is what Vette_85 was able to gather from the engineers:
Quote:
More or less that they were test driving to find any kinks they may need to address. I asked him how the Direct Injection feels and the taller GENTLEMEN coming out of the BLUE one said "the torque and control is unbelievable, so fun to drive". Telling me that the black one was indeed a z51 w/the 7spd. The others base model. And of course that there getting stopped everywhere for pictures ha. Very cool guys though. Taller one was the most talkative. Other 2 seemed a little quieter, and i dont want to say "annoyed", but not as willing to talk about the car. So i didnt want to be a bother and let them have there lunch. I snapped a few more photos and had to get back to the shop for work I wish my lady would have gotten more of a walk around in the video, but the camera was dying. She liked the car on tv, and now LOVES the car seeing it now in person.

That Torch Red needs to be in my life.

And Corvette engineers suck at parking.

Those look sick. Love the black on black. But what's with the lights? Are they shorting or is that just the video?

The driver getting out of the Blue Corvette Stingray is Jim Mero. I didn't recognize the other engineers.

Awesome! Those things are unreal.

Off topic a bit but the video proves that nobody should try to cover a Dio tune. That was an epic fail.
