Chevrolet's 2021 Corvette Build and Price is now live on GM.CA

Looks very nice! The only word of caution is that the light coloured seats show marks very easily. I have the natural seats and just getting in and out leaves marks on the side bolsters. They come out pretty easily with leather cleaner though. I haven't sat in the car with jeans yet so no idea about the blue stains and how easy they are to remove. That being said, I have no regrets with my interior colour choice, and if you're happy with yours then I doubt you will regret it. The front lift is amazing!

Looks like a nice spec. I dropped the front lift option on my order after getting a lot of feedback on this site and another US site that it was not really needed and many of the guys who had it seldom used it. I never scrape the front end of my C7 and apparently the C8 is a little higher. But it may depend on the roads and driveways you drive on. For me it has never really been a problem on the C7.

Well, I am going in today to firm up my order (deposit given in the middle of Sept). Was going to go with the FE2 option but have made the move to Z51 so not an issue but thanks for confirming the option is possible in Canada. Let me know what you think. I am doing this car with my 75-year-old father so we needed to compromise in a few areas to make sure we both could live with it.

2021 Convertible
3LT
(GSJ) Silver Flare Metallic
(HU1) Sky Cool Grey, Napa leather seating surfaces with perforated inserts
(TU7) Two-tone seats
Z51 PERFORMANCE PACKAGE
(D84) Carbon Flash-painted nacelles and roof - convertible hardtop
(E60) Front lift with memory
(FE4) Z51 performance suspension with Magnetic Selective Ride Control
(Q8Q) 19" front/ 20" rear 5-open-spoke Carbon Flash-painted aluminum wheels with machined edge $1,295
(ZYC ) Carbon Flash Metallic-painted outside mirrors

Great choice but I'm biased since my C8 convertible is Blade Silver with the Gray/Black 2-tone seats. We'll see how many order your combo but if it's anything close to the 2020's, your 2021 might be one of the few like it in Canada. My 2020 convertible is the only one of 12 made with that combo and the only one of those 12 to come to Canada. Check my earlier posting on how to find out how many C8's like yours were made, once the 2021 production year is done. And yes the lighter seat edges do show some "smudging" but it's not a concern if you maintain them and my dealer recommended saddle soap for that but there are lots of options. Hope you get your 2021 soon!

Thanks, I had the same thought. This is why I am leaning towards the two tone seats. The black portion is the seating portion with the lighter colour being the sides of the seats. I am also still on the fence about sky grey for the dash vs. black on black as I have been reading about glare. With the 3LT you have the ability to go with Black on black with two tone or grey on black with two tone.

My dash is black, but I have rented cars with a light coloured dashboard before, and in bright sunlight I had a hard time seeing out the front due to the significant reflection. My car has the natural stripes trim on the dash (not sure what it’s actually called) and I get a fair amount of reflection just from those three stripes. My recommendation is the black dash.

I scrape in several places.
There is an air dam in front of the 2 front wheels that I scrape driving up to 2 2x4's nailed together. That's three inches minimum, but likely a little higher. New air dams are slightly cheaper than the front lift though. lol. There are places that even my Malibu scrapes. With that car I can go down the driveway sideways, but I have to make sure no other traffic is coming. so YMMV

I have a condo ramp that I go down/up maybe a few times a month. I used an inclinometer to measure its approach angles and decided I wanted the front lift. The measurements were close, and approaching at an angle might have worked, but I decided I didn't want to take a chance so ordered the lift.
