I understand the need to want to know....this is the same info we shared with you on January 1st, but looks as if a bit more coming through, but NOT all of our questions are answered. Hang in there guys.
The 2007 is a still a wonderful car and a great value. The birthday bash should be jammed packed this year. I'll be there too gathering and sharing info!

You sir, are on a roll ... one that I have been anxiously awaiting
for quite some time! First of all, thank you very much. Now I
know a bit about what the LS3 and Bluestream color look like ...
I encourage you to help out with other key questions:
1) What does Crystal Claret look like?? Is the maroon
car next the the bluestream Monterey Red or Crystal Claret?
2) Is the LS3 rated at 425hp, 435hp, or 445hp? Other?
3) How about new aluminum or magnesium parts in the
base models?
4) Does the LS3 have a) DoD/AFM, b) VVT, or c) DI

I saw only 2 trans choices on non-Z06's. Does that mean the specific Z51 option gearing from 05-07 will be discontinued?
Or perhaps their just leaving all the powertrain info secret till the birthday bash.

That new blue looks kinda different, it would be better to see it in person.
From the pic i like my 06 LMB color better, and the wheels dont jump out at me.
Guess a few more weeks of waiting wont kill me.

Same way it was listed before, MX0 for auto, MN6 for manual. Z51 should still get the different gearing, just not listed in the ordering guide.

No chrome for 2008...
I was at Kerbeck this past weekend and the salesman told me Chrome is not being offered for 2008. The reason for this is they switched the rims to a different type of rim (material) and when polished they look much shinyer than the current polished look.
Anyway - surprisingly - the fact that he knew chrome wasn't offered for 2008 & Ken confirmed this with his post leads me to think the salesman knew what he was talking about (sure sounded like he did).

I might be inclined to believe there will be some sort of anniversary package coming out. (4LT/3LZ)

I'm curious as to what the leather wraps "Sienna" and "Linen" will look like on a car..because if the name denotes the color..I don't think an off brown and a white colored interior will look to well on most colored vettes..I could be wrong.
