Noble M400... I had to look it up:
For the curious, there's a Car & Driver story here: http://www.caranddriver.com/features...007-noble-m400
You can tell from the plate that the snowbirds are in full force in AZ at this point....

the reason I asked the question is because, the first time I saw a C7 on the street (which also was the first time I had a ride in one, since it was my friend's 
) - I was pretty awestruck by its presence and look, much more so than in pictures or at the auto show. And, that's why I was curious to know how Doom felt when he saw it for the first time on the street. That is all. But that is a stupid question (?????)

But, you did anyhow. 
I know I'm crazy but the new Corvette has been universally
-ed upon since it was revealed. So, your question was like asking Doomie what it was like for him to see a Ferrari roar past him. But, hey...I amuse easy and so, hence why I wiped out the post.

Saw my first C7 in the wild a few days ago. Interestingly enough, it was of the convertible variety.

Honestly. I was driving in rush hour. The C7 was in the faster moving lane. I passed it once. Got my phone ready. Shot a few pics but that was the only one I got worth posting. My initial reaction was "oh shit a C7!!!". After snapping the pic it was gone.

I saw a couple more C7s over the weekend, and I agree it looks much different in person than in pics. Personally, after all the hype I was disappointed -- I find it really ugly. I pointed it out to my wife without telling her what it was, and she did not care for it, either. Diff'rent strokes for different folks.
I would say the split between those who approve and disapprove might even be around 60/40. Pretty strong split. Nice to hear your thoughts as well.Personally I wasn't terribly impressed with it at the auto show or with the early photos, I though it looked just OK. I was having trouble with the same stuff most people had trouble with. When I saw the white one I photographer in person, I was wow'ed a good deal, and a bit surprised by that. I still am not 100% behind it, it still has some cues I have trouble with. I am optimistic for the Z06 and ZR1 I have a feeling those models will take care of those things
I similarly wasn't entirely thrilled with the base model C6. But the Z06 and ZR1 sure thrilled me.

I'm always surprised at just how small the NSX is.
