Since the red paddles are "available for both," do they automatically come with the 3LT, Adrenaline Red option?

From all 2017s I've seen (Even non GS) it sure seems like the paddles are automatically red with adrenaline red interiors.

Correct...because it has red stitching automatically.

That has been the case since last year for all Corvettes. No SD card for music since last year.

The SD card in the glove box for the PDR is still there on 2017s.

First it was the CD's, now the SD card and next no more USB?

Haha. Well, I kinda knew this was the case beforehand given I was reading up on 2016 changes where the SD card slot first went away. So I bought a bunch of these Sandisk Ultra Fit (1 year ahead of when I actually bought the car lol).

These fit flush into the USB ports without sticking out and taking up space in the armrest storage or the behind-screen area.




Samsung also has a "FIT" drive variant that fits likewise.

So what option gives you the cool looking roof liner? I thought it was stock, but I get in my car its the same old boring liner.

The quilted suede roof liner comes with all 3LTs in 2017, not with 2LT and 1LT. Note that the liner should be available as a separate part that you can peel off (peel your current liner off that is) and put the new one on your roof. I don't know the part number.

If you ordered a car with red stitching or red seats, I believe that also gives you red stitching on the liner.

However, you won't get yellow stitching on the roof. My yellow 3LT GS with yellow-stitching as an option only gave me dark grey stitching on the roof liner.

One thing I learned it getting the stinger stripe is a total waste. $500 for vynl!! I thought it was painted on. For $500 I could get the stripe and a roof wrap.

Very true. It's just vinyl and like you said, it is around $150-200 here for each of those (roof and stinger) to be wrapped in gloss black.

Oh well, live and learn. I wasted $395 on yellow-stitching. I'm sure several hours, a lot of patience would have gotten me the same result. I knew fully well, but I just didn't wanna take the trouble to do that much work myself for hours dying each stitch.

I believe a couple members including elegant had their stripes painted on after delivery. You could ask them how they did it and how much it was if you wish.

Does the regular GS, without the ZO7 package, come with the Michelen tires that crack in temps under 20 degrees F?

Unfortunately, I don't have a garage and will park the car outside.

The GS comes with summer tires. Just don't move the car when it's below 40 degrees outside.

I guess I'll have to get the regular Stingray with the Super Sport tires. It won't handle nearly as well though, will it?

Buy a set of Continental Extreme Contact DW tires instead. That's what I'm going to be running on my GS.

Just to be clear, what jag meant above is that it comes with the Michelin pilot super sport. Only the z07 package comes with Michelin sport cup 2s that are more prone to cracking in low temperatures.

The mpss shouldn't crack but it's not advisable to drive on them all winter merely because you'll not have much traction.
