Went in to Carter GM in N. Van. to-day - he called me - did a preliminary order that he will enter in system later to-day or tomorrow. Here is my order: Shadow Gray Metallic, Z51 with FE4 (MRC), coupe, black spoiler, black brake calipers, carbon fiber interior trim, Engine Appearance Pkg. (black engine cover?), black wheels, front lift system. I think that is it?
Looked at my car: guy looks at it - mint condition - don't need to drive. Wrote a cheque for $10K - deal conditional on trade-in value. I will post actual order when I get it. Oh, I am thinking about the Accelerate Yellow, Rapid Blue and Elkhart Blue.

Comments/suggestions welcome! :Cheers2:
 
1. Shadow Grey Metallic - awesome colour. Lots of examples on other models all over lots everywhere.
2. Z51 gives nice rim accents, MRC is a very nice thing to have.
3. Black spoiler? I assume you mean Carbon-Flash painted. Mirrors too then, as they have to go together
4. Black brake calipers would go well with the grey exterior
5. Carbon fiber interior trim - eh. Personal preference
6. Engine Appearance Package. This is NOT an engine cover. This gives you the carbon fiber trim down the sides of the engine bay and an LED light on the rear hatch to illuminate the engine bay when it's open. Engine covers are not available until late 2020.

This is without the Engine Appearance Package:

This is with it:

Are you getting 1, 2, or 3LT? I think it's a good build.

Thoughts on other colours:

Elkhart Lake Blue Metallic is currently on the conrained list, meaning you cannot order it yet.

You can never go wrong with a Yellow Corvette.

Rapid Blue - I've seen it in person. It's a real head turner! It STANDS OUT like nothing I've ever seen. I don't know if I could personally order a car in that colour - you need to be very comfortable with standing out and getting everyones attention, good or bad.
 
What ever you order you have to be happy with..I think I would need to see the colours in person to make a decision..No matter what colour you order, you can be sure it will be one awesome ride...I have the same question , what trim level???

2LT: you get all the goodies I want.
 
That is fantastic!!!! That must be so exciting, but even MORE exciting once you find out that the order has been accepted and is in the system at the factory!

Congratulations James. Next year's west fest just got more exciting! I assume the wife does not know yet. 😉

Careful with this. Once your order is accepted by GM and goes into event 2000, you cannot change it.

U R so right Ziggy frau Gisela will know in due course. I think she is on to something though as she mentioned me spending TOO much time looking at the C8 corvette (of course she did know it was a C8). Do you have any room for me at your house: I am a good cook and very domesticated - LOL.:Seeya:

Sounds like a fantastic car and deal James. I was really surprised you didn't wait for the Vert in a couple weeks but sure enough you can change your order if they don't have constraints.

Congratulations. Exciting for sure.
