Oh thats what it is. I thought the hood was clear to show engine. Id still love to get a clear hood cut out right above the vents, similar to what Ferrari & Lambo have and dress up the engine so it showcases through.

Just get out the old jigsaw.
Just got home from work. A gentleman drove in from past Abilene to Dallas to pick this car up.
He had been in Saturday while visiting family in the area and checked out a different one I had. He took Sunday to think about it and it was gone. He was debating between a Stingray and an Audi R8. He'd never considered the Vette before seeing it in person on Saturday.
He got there about 9:40pm and after finishing with finance the owner came out spoke with him a while thanking him for coming all that way.
He and I spent about an hour going over all of the features of the car and setting it up for him. After that we took a nice test drive and he learned and felt exactly how the different settings affect on the car.
His favorite being the active rev matching. He hadn't driven a stick in years. After feeling the easy pull away from the torque provided and the rev matching on downshift, he looked like he'd never stopped driving a stick. He was like a kid in a candy store.
Times like tonight remind me why I love these cars so much.

The great thing about this car, is that if you go on Chevrolet.com and build a car identical to this one (option for option); you have an almost identical sticker price. But, this car will be one of 500 and be numbered as such, both in the VIN and on the dash plaque.

I stumbled across one yesterday at a local Chevy dealer. They were trying to keep it under wraps until they can throw a "2014 Debut Show" of ALL the new Chevy's on Nov. 14th., making this vette the center piece. Thru some wheeling & dealing I convinced them that I should be the new owner. It's a done deal, and I will be driving #142 home as soon as they decide the party is over.
