Default Need Help.

I been lurking since 06 and now I am ready to order my corvette. I have sent to the forum dealers and getting pricing back.I have my GMS. But i need your help. I am looking to order a 08 coupe 2lt,MXO, NPP, Z51, QG7.
The issue is VY or Crystal Red. If it the VY it will have the black Int. But CR I cant make up my mind two tone gray and black or red and black. If some one has pix of these color i would appreciate it. Since I live in Chicago area is the Museam delivery worth it. I have never own a corvette and this is something special.

I have Titanium Gray interior and love it. Mine isn't stock, though. Lots of stuff from Gerardo at Down South Vettes

As for he Museum delivery: Without doubt one of the best experiences you will ever have. Take your Significant Other or Child if you can it is a great experience for both.

I can't help you with the interior colors (mine is titanium only), but the Museum experience is something you will remember for a very long time. You might also like to note that, to my knowledge, there is no other car in America where you can pick it up at the car's national Museum. Nor, can you pick up your car from across the street from where it's assembled.

I will note however, that it is getting very late in the model year ('08) to be ordering a car, so don't hesitate or you'll miss it for this year and have to order an '09.

My 08 CRM has Cashmere Interior, so no help there. However, the museum delivery is awsome, it also gives you more flexibility to work with the forum dealers who have the best deals.

2008 3LT Crystal Red with Cashmere/Ebony interior. Another combination for you to think about. Good luck with your order and as AO said, get that order in soon!

You can check out corvetteconti.com and check out his galleries. He has some great pics of the interiors you are interested in.

Better move quickly. See below from a post today. Certain choices are drying up as the model year production winds up.

The Original Design Corvette chrome aluminum wheel (QX3) has now been built out and has been replaced by the new 2008 design forged chrome aluminum wheel (Q9V). Any new or unpreferenced orders containing the option (QX3) chrome wheel will need to be changed to the new (Q9V) forged aluminum chrome wheel.

A few of the 2008 Corvette Indy 500 Pace Car replicas (RPO Z4Z) are still available. (Z4Z) constraints will not be protected. As a result, any Pace Car constraint not utilized by the originally assigned dealer will be made available to any dealer with a Corvette allocation during subsequent DOSP cycles until all 500 replicas have been assigned.

Remember, this year's Indy 500 Pace Car Replicas are available in either coupe or convertible configuration. Check the On-Line Order Guide for all of the content details.

Machine Silver exterior paint (67U) is being discontinued as an available color selection for the 2008 Corvette. As a result, it will be necessary to constrain the number of (67U) orders that can be accepted for production. The final date for (67U) order entry and selection will be April 14, 2008. A replacement color will be introduced at the beginning of the 2009 model year.


Weekly Constraint/Production News - UPDATED

Constraints are distributed based on Available Days’ Supply (ADS), Controlled Method or Percent of Allocation (POA). Dealers can use the weekly constraint wire to see the basic availability of an option. The percentages on the weekly constraint wire are estimated based on the national retail number of the constrained option divided by the amount of retail orders being allocated for the week.
