[QUOTE=CRABBYJ;1583426726]Looks like a miscue to me having the competition seat backs dark black while the rest of the interior black looks in contrast to be a very dark gray. But that may just be the lighting?
I'm with you on the color but that is not the competition seat.

Where did this take place? A retirement home complex?

For the racers this pic. Note the pins for brake pads. No more taking off the caliper to change pads !

Cold Start
I saw this car in DC as well yesterday. It's the best looking corvette since the C3 as far as I'm concerned. Great design unity, no jolts or abrupt changes in line movement to spoil the viewing. Just a beautiful machine. I didn't sit in it, so I didn't pay close attention to the instrument cluster. Two things I didn't like - the plastic engine cover and the tail lights. I want to see the engine, it should be beautiful. The tail lights are wrong because they look like Camero lights to me. But it's still the best looking Corvette in a long time. Great job Chevrolet!

I do wish they'd dress the engine better. All one has to do is look at how Katech dresses their engines. It's not expensive and it's not difficult.
With the LS engines GM had absolutely no excuse for that. On this new LT, they may as some of that garb may be dampening an otherwise loud DI system. But you'd think even then, they'd dress it better.
Thanks for the pics, OP.

An easy way to tell the trim level. The higher the trim level.. the more (colored) leather surfaces in the car.

Can you comment on the quality of the dash and door materials assuming it's a 2LT? How about the cup holder area - is it aluminum?
