I hope they fixed the issues with earlier C7s (if Car and Driver's long term test is any indication: http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/201 ... st-wrap-up).
Nifty car nonetheless. Lots of performance for the price!

I do like the color, but in CO I would not have any vehicle that was not 4 wheel drive. ...and, it is way over my budget.

Anti-Pinz? More like the opposite end of the spectrum, IMHO. Just as dedicated to fast on-road as the Pinz is to slow off-road.

I dunno. I'd drive one.

FWIW, I've driven with a couple of these and also a Calaway Vette, and they certainly hold their own on the road. Not many cars kept up. It seemed like only one Ferrari and a McClaren were noticeably faster. 8)

Looks are pretty subjective. Certainly some folks think the Pinz is butt-ugly (at least within our DMV here). Frankly, if everybody in the world thought Pinz's were the cat's ass, very damn few of us could afford one. We should be glad they aren't everyone's cup of tea. Of the Vettes, I preferred the Calaway.
