To the OP, congrats, just think of another option for the comp greys.

My local dealer beat the crap out of forum dealers when I traded in my 08 for my 11GS. Based on the price I would have got for my 08 at say Carmax.

Congrats! The wait will drive you crazy, but it's worth it. I had to wait 11 weeks but I'm happy I have mine now.

Congrats. I just ordered my 2013 427 Vert from Stasek last Saturday. Yes, this wait is going to be painful, but well worth it.
I agree with the other posts..........get the NPP exhaust.
You're going to love that new GS.

Great choice! Now you will be joining the rest of us who drive our poor, gaudy, tire eating GSs. And, loving every minute of it. Also, get ready for the compliments. Our GrandSports are head turners, for sure.

Call Tommy @ MacMulkin (603-888-11210). Best transaction on purchasing a new vette. Got mine at the museum on the 17th. Tommy saved me over $3,000.00.

Tommy rocks! You can buy it from him and get a courtesy delivery to a TX dealership and still come out ahead.

I'm just about the press the trigger with Tommy for a replacement for my stolen '07 vert. It will be a '13 GS 427 vert.

Close family friend is president of the new car dealers association. He makes a call for me and the rest is taken care of. NOBODY can come close to the deals I get. This will be my 13th new vehicle in 11 years. lol

Congrats to you! I placed my order for a 2013 with Tommy Jr. a few days ago! I know you must be so excited because I can't even sleep at night!
Black it is then. Black GS badges as well.

Congrats on your order!

I will be placing my order tomorrow for my 2013 2lt Grand Sport, Cyber gray, Red interior, M6, comp gray wheels, red calipers.

I have been searching for C5 Z06s for the past few months and I finally came to the realization that I really don't want a C5 even if it is a Z06. I love the body style of the C5 Z06 but I just can't justify sacrificing all of the technology and "luxury" that comes with the C6. I loved my 2007 C6 coupe and the grand sport is a step up and exactly what I am looking for as far as performance, equipment, styling, and price.

I had the dealership searching high and low for the past two days for a 2011/2012 GS but we were having a hell of a time finding one that met all of my requirements. Dealership called me today and made me a deal on ordering a brand new 2013 built exactly to my specs and I just couldn't pass it up! I will be going in tomorrow to fill out the build sheet and take care of the paper work. They said it will prob be 6 to 7 weeks out once the order is placed but that is fine with me. I have been waiting this long so what's another few weeks?

I know I know, I am going to be a Z06 poseur now and I wasted money on a the GS over the standard coupe. I could care less what anybody else thinks, it's my money and my choice and the GS is exactly what works for me. Yippeeeeeee
Congrats! I do not think a GS is poseur Z06... I think GS is a sweet vette!!! I have a Z06 and I am looking at either a GS convertible or a Zr1...

Thanks! I was just being facetious. Recent history shows that every time somebody starts a thread about a GS the haters come out in full force.

Good luck with your decision.

Congrats from a fellow new GS owner. I just made it for ordering my 2012 and did so because I wanted the Comp Gray wheels. Sadly, as already posted, they are not available on the 13's. Doesn't matter, as your car will be gorgeous!!!!

Enjoy the ride

Make sure to delete the NPP.
Worse bang/buck option out there.

Put the money saved toward the F55 Magnetic Selective Ride Control.

You might keep watching the for sale section, as comp gray GS wheels pop up quite often at some good prices. Same with the Z06 spiders(which are a direct fit on the GS) in comp gray.
