I was there tonight and saw it. It was behind ropes and closed off to the public. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Here are some pictures taken at the Cleveland Auto show. Here are some additional observations:

1. It was a well attended show with some extremely well done displays by the major players.

2. As far as a corvette display, there was a 2013 ZR1 (MSRP of $131,000) and a 2013 ZO6. I really have not followed either car till the duel on this forum over the track results of the race between the ZR1 and Gen V came out. Both vettes are probably very capable , but, their appearance simply put, is not in the same class as the Gen V. Also sort of interesting, the stripes on the rear of the ZR1 are not painted on, they are vinyl

2. I have never paid attention to auto paint finish until I read about Prefix paint process on the Gen V. I made a point to look closely at the major players: the Mercedes, BMW, GM products, Chrysler products and Ford Products all had severe to moderate orange peel. It was real obvious because of all the special lighting. Of the cars I checked only the viper and the Aston Martin did not have any orange peel.

I just came back from seeing it. Absolutely stunning. It has such a mean stance. I love it.

yeah I tried getting mine painted the body color but unfortunately only the SRT model is a candidate for that; they wont do it on the GTS.

The red/black GTS that I saw at the show in San Jose had a gloss black rear panel, as this picture shows. This car was the one on Jay Leno's Garage. To me it looks good in gloss black, I have no inclination to have it the same color as the car.

The good news is that I would think this would be the easiest panel to have painted, if one really wanted to.

Ditto on the black/gunmetal GTS that was at SEMA.
