Default c7 info

can anyone tell me where I can find reliable info regarding interior colors available and possibly how I can get my hands on some brochures?

I want to order a new Stingray, but I would like to be able to have a better idea of how the various color combos will look together. I plan on getting a Laguna Blue 3LT Z51, with a black interior. It looks like it will cost close to $70K, but I am reluctant to make such a large purchase with
no more info than I have been able to get so far.

Any help you can give me will be appreciated.

Thanks

Via any of the Corvette Forum Supporting Dealers. They are all listed in the left hand column under Cars For Sale.

Pick one close to you . . . .

Any one of the supporting dealers should be able to send you pdf versions of all the brochures via email.

I think pretty much every aspect of the interior has been discussed here, and there are loads of pictures.

You probably don't want to see this but here is a formula from my spreadsheet that you can download on the C7 forum it is a sticky at the top of the page.

=IF(G21="1LT", "1LT seats only in interior color selected",IF(G21="2LT", "2LT seats, console and door armrests in interior color selected",IF(G21="3LT", "3LT seats, console, door armrests and instrument panel in interior color selected","")))

If that does not make sense then try this

1LT seats only in interior color selected
2LT seats, console and door armrests in interior color selected
3LT seats, console, door armrests and instrument panel in interior color selected

Hope that helps.

It's pretty tough to justify a solid black 3LT interior IMO since it will look nearly exactly the same as a black 2LT. True, in the 3LT the dash and door panels are wrapped in stitched leather where in the 1LT ans 2LT they're wrapped in stitched Naugahyde but it's pretty tough to tell the difference. It's an entirely different story with any of the other interior colors since with them 3LT gives you more areas in the color. If you're serious about solid black, my suggestion is to go 2LT with navigation (a stand-alone option with 2LT, included with 3LT) and save yourself $3000.

Saw the Jet Black at Carlisle. Only way to tell was to run you hand across the door panel, 3LT was smoother and softer feeling. To me the Jet Black looked identical between 3LT and 2LT.

Here is a 3LT:
