Default 2016 Brief Changes - MORE TO COME

Gm has posted a few changes, although the order guide is not out yet so we do not have a full description of some of the new codes..



From my random scanning through stuff today

Looks like we are getting some sort of New Crystal Red ( Addiction Red Tint Coat ) Convertibles will have a Bastille Red Top available, in my opinion this all sounds like a special edition car.

Z06 is to get some special editions including one that was noted a C7-R Special Edition.

2 Tone seats are coming back and the ability to get Red or Yellow stitching is also coming back. Again VERY early, so not sure of some of these new options are tied and or limited to the special edition models. I see Z06 getting a couple new wheels, also all models mention a Carbon Fiber Hood, its the old B92 code, being the hoods are carbon fiber already, does this mean an exposed carbon??! If so I see constraints galore already…

A new Stealth High Gloss Carbon Ornament shows available, a New Fusion Gray Hood Stinger Stripe

a new Spice Red interior, a New Black with Sueded seat - again I think this is tied to a special edition car and will not be free flow, plus a Red with Suede seat option

A new full length Satin Black stripe is available, each model shows new wheel codes, plus accessory wheels and only on Z06 a new decal DTD; Decal Top Color and Door, 2 Tone , Spectra Grey (?!)

The other Convertible top color is called Night Shadow Blue

Brownstone interior still available and the Twilight blue comes down from Z06 to the Regular Corvettes

There is a mention of EFR-Exterior Trim Carbon Flash
There is a mention of EFV-Exterior Trim High Gloss Spectra Grey

New Yellow code is GC6 and New Red code is G1E

IMPORTANT TO NOTE:
These pieces of new information have to come together via the
GM order guide and don’t forget the official reveal of the new 2016 items will be in Bowling Green later this month. Look for us there
on location! Once we have the order guide, we will post it - if you are interested in reserving a 2016, estimated arrival late summer,
email us below - thank-you

Still a lot of work to do for 2015, a lot of great value stories and
a lot of fun to be had in our 2015 Stingray’s and Z06 Corvettes

Looking forward to being a part of your reward.
Thank-you everyone

Not to mention, look for our tent at the bash for limited number of this FREE Z06 Poster!

A blue interior for the C7 is a great addition. Blue goes great with silver and with white IMHO. A red top is also good for those who get white with red seats, not to mention a triple red conv.

I don't expect any real changes or drastic upgrades in 2016. What I do think might happen is Fusion Gray might be replacing Carbon flash as the trim accent color for a bit of a softer color contrast on the panels, or maybe an extra cost option on the grills and rear bumper.

Here in California they really don't need to change anything because the dealers still think they a made of gold due to low allocations here. You see very few around. Lucky I got supplier when I did.

Exactly very minimal changes! Think they will have a 30 horsepower bump for the 17's but thats a while away!
