2013 pricing
Any guess on how long it will be before the Corvette web site is updated to the 2013 pricing and specs ? I'd like to use the "Build Yer Own" feature.

Yeah, I saw that. I need to figure the whole enchilada to see if it's doable.

well, I know most of us love the 60th Anniv. package et al (I do !), but that does add quite a bit of cost (requires the
equivalent of the 4LT interior, etc.)
IMO, the base 427 'Vert (having the equivalent of the 2LT interior) and MSRC standard, is a pretty complete package, performance-wise.
Almost everything else is a non-peformance add-on (albeit some very nice choices/touches to be had...)
just sayin'...

Not impressed
I may be in the minority but I want a simple basic 427 vert. I can live w/o the stripes and other bling including the badges. I'm a high mileage driver. I already have 19,225 miles on the bought new 2011 that is not even 9 mos old by date of purchase. Thus my objective is to spec one that meets my needs at a price I can afford. This will not be a garage queen.

heh .............. Like I really need a car cover or that goofy car charger in a bag that the dealers like to add to the window sticker to pad the bottom line.

Base price for GS convertible is $59,600. Base price for a 427 convertible is $75,925. A $16,325 up charge for the 427.
As much as I would like to trade my 2010 3LT convertible for the 427 it is a high price to pay for the same car with a different engine.
Have to pay to play.

I think the "fairer" comparison is the base price of the Z06 vs the 427 'Vert...virtually the same.
Lose the all-aluminum frame but get the ragtop.
The 427 'vert is not the same car + LS7, as the GS 'vert. Former also gets 19"/20" wheels & MPS2 ZP
tires, some CF bodywork, enhanced oil/transmission/differential cooling etc, and MSRC is standard.
It's a different package...

My original choice.
That's the other option btw. Order a Z06 built to spec rather than bought off the lot. In truth, it makes more sense than the vert for long term use.
