Default 2016 Corvette Specs Leaked



Some early details about the updates for the new 2016 Corvette have been leaked, and we’re betting there are going to be some pretty happy fans here at Corvette Forum.

Read the rest on the Corvette Forum homepage. >>

New interior colors will include Spice Red and a new sueded black or sueded red option.

This makes me very happy because I hated the "Adrenalin Red" interior at first sight because to me it was way too bright and cheapened the look of the interior. I know many love it but I don't. Now what the heck is "Spice Red"?

Blue interior, red top, and new wheel codes catch my eye.

Hard to say how it will do with time, but I think people tended to like it because it was new and a departure from the darker red interiors of the past. Some were almost maroon they were so dark.

My assumption would be that spice red will match the crystal red exterior better than adrenaline red. Just one man's opinion. But I do love my adrenaline red, torch red C7

Spice Red was used as an exterior color a few times before by GM. Will probably be the same shade.

Also, so begins the passing down of Z06 exclusives with the Stingray getting the Twilight Blue interior.

If CF is going to rip off Rick Conti, at least have the good taste to use his name instead of "an employee". And get the content right....Crystal Red is already available....

Satin stripes and decals must be back by popular demand.....I had black satin stripes and decals on my C6 Z since months ago. (But it still isn't a C7).

Specs typically refer to performance. Colors and stitching are options. Still, interesting stuff.

Awesome... glad I locked in my 2015 order because if that's all the 2016 adds, it's definitely not worth the degraded warranty and price increase.

I would have ordered suede adrenaline red seats instead of the perforated that I have in my 2015.
