After drooling over this ever since its release, I finally pulled the trigger on a 2016 Corvette! Here's how it is spec'd:

2016 Corvette 1LT in Shark Gray M7
Adrenaline Red Interior
Navigation
Red Calipers
Black Wheels
Carbon Flash Badge Package
NPP Performance Exhaust
Indoor Black Car Cover
Custom Name Plaque

Needless to say, I am very excited! Estimated delivery is around May/June but could be earlier. Will be posting photos n all when I get her. Just wanted to drop in and say hi from Toronto :).
 
Thank you folks! Just got my order number. This is exciting! I'm coming from a 2010 Genesis Coupe and am looking forward to moving onto the vette platform.
 
Welcome to the forum. Sounds like a really nice car.

Best of luck.

Welcome KAIJU. . Once you go Vette, you never regret.... Congats on your decision... Enjoy your excitement.... you will definitely enjoy your new ride....
 
Sounds like a nice ride! Woooo! Great options. Looking forward to hearing about it when you pick it up.
Is the Genesis Stock or have you done any work to it?
You should put up a couple pics of your soon to be old ride as I don't think we've had a picture of a Genesis on here yet!

Owned the Genesis for 5 years..went through a lot of phases. multiple wrap jobs. internal mods, tunes, bolt ons...too many to list :). Below are photos of two of the phases it went through.

That blue is a wrap? It looks good!

Somehow I just had a sneaking suspicion that someone with a Genesis wouldn't leave it alone and would have had some fun stuff done to it. :D

Yup. Avery Bahama Blue Pearl. I will miss it. Still considering whether or not to trade it in. Only getting $10.5k for it.

I hope so too! Good news..GM has accepted my order and the status is now 2000. 3000 is the magic number I'm waiting for. :D!!

Woooooooo! Great to hear the order is accepted. That car is going to look great! Especially after you put a wrap on it. :D

Interesting question on whether or not to trade it in.... Dealers always seem pretty low on their offers but they have to make money.......twice. :D
 
So I put in the order and just last week, the price went up. Safe to assume that my price is protected? Do I have to do anything to ensure this?
 
You are safe as of the date of that order number. We have all gone through the same. I will even tell you that your invoice, when the car is received, will be that current price and not the one you have; don't worry. If you're dealer tries to up the price (which he can by the way) by reason of price increase, you can explain price protection to him and ask him to politely speak to the District Manager. I say this because there have been odd circumstances. I know of one where the salesman never knew and tried to get current price. I think dealerships do this just to make as much as they can. Having said all of that, a dealership has the right to sell the car at any price they want once it is received. They are totally independent of GM and GM will never jump in when it comes to financial matters.
