I'm digging the interior alot. Thinking it would look pretty cool beside my lemans blue with blue interior 69. Our local dealership has one also. I'm partial to convertibles though. Still not sure...

I didn't really care for it when I saw pictures of it, but in person it is really, really nice. But that blue is very, very bright.

In 2020 when the price comes down, I'm getting a 2017 GS convertible to park next to my 2012 GS Coupe.

My steelership had one. Checked it out and opted for the one I picked. The blue leather just looks cheap and like a second thought. My wife actually said there was too much blue and it looked out of place and she is a fashionista ROLF. Different strokes for different folks...

Interior color is simply hideous.

They're very cool, imo. But I like loud.

That interior is a bit too over the top for me. I did see that Chapman Chevrolet at Philadelphia Automall has one listed on their website with a VERY large discount. The car might be a good collector/investment car at the price they have on it.

looks very "Tron: Legacy"... I kinda dig it. No more garish than the lipstick red they've also put with the Cyber gray... interesting contrast.

I went to your dealer Chapman Chevrolet web sight, they have one. Msrp is 81$ with sale price - 81$, didn't look like much of discount, nice looking any way.

Thank you for taking a interest in giving your thoughts. To me it looks like a love / hate thing. It's either hated, and would not cross the street to buy one, or love it, and want to be seen in one, and be seen by all. Thanks again for all your thoughts and time.

Good Morning,

We have a manual coupe in the warehouse waiting for a home. You will be buying the last Collector front engine Corvette. It is worth more consideration than a regular Corvette.

Definitely not for everyone, I dig it a lot. That tension blue is very close to ... dare I say it, Grabber blue but I do like it. I also agree with the comment on the calipers to also be that color, along with the grand sport fender badges to be in that color as well. This is where the domestics get killed by the Euros, in the attention to detail stuff.

I had a centennial edition GS and from factory the matte GS wheels looked great but chevy used chrome lug nuts . I bought some matte black lugs and that simple change gave the car a much better look.

I saw one at Hendrick in Richmond. Very impressive. I did not really loke the corvette shape embossed into the headrest of the seats.

In watching collectable edition trends over the years, my crystal ball (haha - NOT!) says this will not be a sought after car in later years. A car for people who like something different - absolutely. To be enjoyed by those folks - again - absolutely. To hope for as a collectable - wouldn't bank on it. And, purchase-able closer to non special edition price in a few years - bet so.

The impact colors are never that popular when they come out, but they wind up being a sought after vehicle as time goes by.
