Thanks for asking - good customer service!

When I buy in the near future, I'll be looking for 1sa and Z51. Don't care anything about polished wheels (as I'm sure I'll replace them anyway) NAV or any of the other electronic goodies. I want my next Vette to be as performance oriented as possible. Transmission is unimportant to me unless a 6 speed auto is available. If it is, that's what I'll opt for.

Hope this helps.

Since I'm going to order a convertible fully loaded, my suggestion would also be to fully load the cars you keep in stock. That may not be the best idea for sales purposes, but hey, that ain't my line of work. I can only tell you that as a consumer I like to get cars full loaded.

So to be specific, I'd say I'd keep most of the cars w/1SB packages. I'd even have all or most of them equipped with XM, b/c I figure that most people who will purchase these cars aren't likely to care about the XM antenna looking like an eyesore if that's all that is available. And also I thing most regular folk don't even give the XM antenna a second thought (as opposed to us over-scrutinizing forum members). Of the ones you offer w/1SB, I'd have half with and half without Onstar, cuz it just isn't for everyone. I'd keep all of them w/nav systems.

Oh, and I'd have both tops available for coupes. For convertibles, I'd only offer the power top. For both coupes and convertibles, I wouldn't offer any auto transmissions. Again, that may not be the best for business, but I'm talking as a fan. I personally don't think autos should even exist on vettes.

In terms of colors, I'd have all the colors available, but keep a higher number of black, red, and Le Mans blues available, with less white, orange, and yellow.

In terms of seat colors, I'd have red seats on all the whites and on most of the blacks.

Suspension: never ever ever base. I'd say abotu half magnetic suspension and half Z51.

In terms of things not available but should be, here they are in no particular order:
1) Let's get moving on this Onstar/Verizon deal.
2) More discrete XM antenna design
3) DVD player that actually plays DVDs...while the car is in motion.
4) MP3 capabilities.
5) 6 disc in dash/Nav combo.

Hope that helps.

Victory Red Coupe
Steel Grey interior
Both tops
Z51
6 Speed Manual
High Polished wheels
OnStar
DVD Navigation
(no XM)

For me it would have to be a convertible. If you can't drop the top what good is it?

LeMans Blue
Black top
Ebony interior
1SB
U3U AM/FM CD with DVD Navigation
F55 Magnetic Selective Ride Control
Manual top
6-speed

Already ordered, picking up around Dec 1st. Only got the 1sb to get telescope wheel and adj seats. Not happy that I had to buy a package.
Suggestion to Chevy: let us order options separately, I would pay more for the privilege, would be glad to preserve checy's profit margin.
Oh, and a 402ci option would be nice!

BOTH coupe and convertible should have:

Z51, XM, 6Speed, black or silver exterior and black interior, different front tag holder that looks better than factory.

REAL CHROME WHEELS and Z06 optional wheels should be available!

Convertible top should be black and power.

Bring back Nassau Blue!


Thanks!
