You have won the honor and opportunity of reading and answering all the posts that are concerned with: whether a GS is the same as a Z06, or not; how many LS7 motors did or did not blow up, and how many of those were or were not modded; and other fun stuff like that. Congratulations! Thank you for being you.

Previously posted stats were html form and may not be suitable for some folks to save. I think for that reason the mods should give you a pass.

And thanks.

How does one determine how many cars of the same option configuration were built? I have the GS with 4LT , with red interior stiching, torch red ext , and F55, only 11 were built with the red stiching but how many of those had the F55 and torch red exterior?

Definitely not. Only American Fries for me, especially while listening to my "Timothy Leary is dead - no, no, he's on the outside looking in" music, which explains everything worthy of knowing.

It's all about the $$$$$$$$.

Chevy figures that folks who want black, will pony up $1,500 extra, to get the cheesy
Centennial Edition, (the only way to get black on a 2012 Corvette).

This is going to fail on them IMO. Do you even get an option on what wheels you can order? I personally like chrome and would never get a car if that option was unavailable.

I'am surprised that Inferno Orange didn't come in dead last.

Artic White has really gained in popularity.

Where you been?

Since the 2005 model year, black has been the most popular color choice, for the C6.

Yeah, the same marketing guy must be the one who also decided the base model didn't need the Z51 option available anymore either and that people would pay the extra to get a Grand Sport to have the Z51 option. Instead the Grand Sport just robbed sales from the Z06.

Not exactly. Reds are more popular than black. Black just sells more than any individual shade of red.
