Default Considering....

Hello,
I'm considering the purchase of an '08 Vette. I have claimed life-long-loyalty to my 99 Nassau Blue C5, but when the release of the JetStream Blue C6 pics, along with the new improved interior for the '08 models, I might be making the switch. But I have a couple questions. 1) the Vette mags show the new two-tone custom leather wrapped interior matching an orange (exterior) vette with orange leather trim.. is that color-matched leather look available with JetStream blue? If so... awesome.
2) My 3 year old rides shotgun with me in my '99 frequently (and yes, I have the air-bag cutoff switched retro-fitted for it). Does the '08 have an air bag cuttoff? and does it feature any car-seat latch points?

I guess those are my two big questions. And, if I do decide to buy a C6, my '99 Nassau Blue Coupe will be up for sale (and it is a NICE one.... trust me on that) so if anyone (or their friends) are interested....

Thanks,
Drew (Coyote)

The newer C6's have mass sensors in the passenger seat to determine the size of the passenger you are hauling.

Other will chime in on thee 4LT package, but I believe you can get either the linen or the sienna with almost any exterior color.

I believe you can get 4LT with any exterior color, but you'll be limited to a couple things:

You only get two leather wrap color schemes (sienna and linen) and they only seem to look so-so with a couple exterior colors.

If you're wanting jetstream blue I would look at the linen leather wrap, not the sienna (orange-like).

The 08 does have the LATCH anchors for a child seat. The 4LT will probably not be available for a few months.
