Default Centennial as a DD

Trying to narrow down the color for my purchase next spring so we visited Jim Ellis Chevrolet in Atlanta last night. They had a great selection of vette's I was really impressed. They had the Centennial GS and it looked amazing. However, I want this as a daily driver and to track tree or four times a year. The suede really worries me, I can just see that looking terrible in a couple of years. I should also mention I have a 6 year old and 4 year old that will ride with me occasionally. They are murder on interriors...

So on to my question... Is it possible to get a Carbon Flash Mettalic Grand Sport without the Centennial package?

My Color preference: Carbon Flash, Velocity Yellow (black headlights and halo), and Cyber Gray (not in order).


Thanks,

Mike

I can't speak to the colors,but I have had Alcantara(suede) pieces in my Z06 for going on two years and they still look great. Steering wheel,shifter ****/boot,e-brake ****/boot and center console.

Daily driver and tracked a few times.

The Centennial Edition is the only Black offered this year.

I have also thought about a centennial as a DD. But I was worried about the durability of the paint. I have had 3 C6's, a 05 VR, a 06 MR and a 07 AW. The 06 MR had the softest paint job by far. In one year there were many rock chips on the nose. Seems the non tinted clear paint is more durable...my 07 has 75k and no chips on the nose.

Just wonder how hard it will be to match the Carbon Flash paint?

Default Suede interior

I have the suede centers in my 09 CTS-V and the sude looks better than the leather after 2yrs. and 34,000 miles. Oh and I just ordered a Cent. edition, don't worry about the interior.
