Probably a lot. ... The base wheels just look to plain looking for this new car.

As expected, some form of red will be #1 with some form of Silver/grey #2.

The number of Z51's doesn't surprise me but the number of Manuals does. I thought many more autos.

The real shocker: 16% are paying $1000 for museum delivery. I would never have guessed it that high.

Perforated is all leather seat. Other then that it would be a suede seat cushion..

I think the lime rock green is a stunning color especially with the kalarai or brown interiors...

I can't tell which is the better interior choice without seeing it in person but I definitely admire the lime rock green as part of the combo.

Z51, MRC and NPP chosen by forum members in the know! Smart consumers make good choices...

Thanks for collecting the data.

I think that's a symptom of the audience on this forum. The folks here live and breathe corvette. I'm betting that museum delivery will have a MUCH lower take-rate among the general populace. In all honesty, I'd LOVE to do museum delivery - but I live in San Francisco and as things are going, my car wont be ready until the end of October/ early November. There is no way I'm setting up that kind of trip at that time of year, and risking having to drive my brand new stingray home through some snow.

If I could have had a September car? Done.

Same invitation to you if your ever in Alberta. Very good choice of colors and options. Mark me down as officially jealous.

Some dense folks in here today. The man simply said his car was going to be rare. To which, several of you pee'd all in his wheaties to tell him it isn't.

You all realize rare simply means "relative few exist", right? He wasn't banging the collectible drum or touting resale value. Rare is rare. Coveted or not.

But way to be unnecessarily rude. Go you.

I was able to see the lime rock green and the brownstone interior and I will tell you it's classy looking. Although, probably not for many individuals. The green pops in the sunlight, but the lines go away in the shade. I personally like the Laguna Blue they had at Lime Rock Park more but that's just me.

GMer -

Are you tracking Suede vs Non-Suede seats anywhere? I didn't see the IL4 or IL6 option listed.

I have the suede inserts and wondering how popular that option is.

Thanks!

Suede is listed in the trim column. Very few of them. Looks like only 8.

Very well said. This board seems like the wrong place to come to if you want to bash on people for purchasing their car in a color you personally don't like. "You ordered a car in a crappy color!!!" is just unnecessary jackassery and makes you look small.

I think LRG is a GORGEOUS color, even if I didn't, someone will like it and it certainly is a LONG way from "Hideous". Some of you guys need to up the meds, I believe.

Thanks for your comments. I wanted to reply to some of the posts but would not have said it as well as you, and didn't want to lower myself the level of some posters. The LRG on the list is mine. It will be my 5th new one of the 15 I have owned and loved. I don't buy for resale or to impress or make other people happy, I buy what I like. I try to be as diplomatic in my responses as I can, and it appears most but not all here share my values. Enough of my ramblings.
