June of '08 would be the final month of production, plant shutdown in July, and '09 model year start of production...……………

those are typical production manufacturing dates of the OEM's...……….

We're not doubting that. We're just wondering why it's not mentioned in places that we expected to make it easier for more of us to know about it.

I would like to know how many cars got this option.
I've not seen it on any C6 - even at Bloomington Gold last weekend.

Don't have any statistics for model year 2008. But 67 2009s got it at $2,095 each, only 10 2010s at $2,110, don't see it on any 2011s, 2012s, or 2013s.

As already mentioned, google search leads to this regarding content: http://www.teamzr1.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2321

Seems like legit info to me.

Edit: As far as production numbers go, that might be tough to find.

This is what I found when I was doing my research on the RPO codes

VPK = Sales Package Corvette Accessory Package A
