Thanks Ken ... it seems like all of the info that is new is "No Description", making it useless... any word on when Pricing will be announced ...

My counter better hit 0 soon ...

The most popular option seems to be the HUD, which for 2007 you can only get if you buy the most expensive option package (3LT). I wonder if GM will move the HUD to the 4LT for 2008.

Lighten up dude. Maybe some of it doesn't affect you. Maybe you didn't read the whole post.

Dealers can begin submitting order requests on 5/24/07 with production beginning on 6/25/07.

No chrome wheel option for the C6, only Z06. That would be too bad, as I like that option on my C6.

However, there are 2 codes for exterior colors that have not been defined. I betting one is the replacement blue for LMB and the other is the replacement red for Monterey Red.

No Chrome option means I'm gonna have to order mine with polished wheels and save up for some custom forged chrome wheels later.


What happened to the A6 performance Axle option?

THis list pretty much sucks as the original leaked list had more information. The only new thing is that the new interior wraps require the 4lt package.

Here is the old option list leaked:
