Why is it taking so long for GM to release the spice package.
Is there a reason? I have a LBR Z06 on order!

No idea why the wait has been so long. But...

I'm so glad I changed my mind about wanting a "Spice Red Design Package" in Arctic White. Wanted the R86 highly polished aluminum wheels and the darker red interior. But I had to spend ~$9.000 more for options I really didn't want. So I ordered a base C7 in white with red/black two tone interior and stock silver painted wheels. I've had it now for almost 2 weeks. I'd still be waiting to place the order for the "Spice Package". Bought the R86 wheels from a GM parts house for
~$2300 not $5,000 plus if ordered with the car. Just put the Z51 sway bars on it so it's a little more serious handler.

Show me a "prettier" C7.

I am considering getting a set of all season tires. Would you name the vendor where you purchased the wheels at that great price?

Unfortunately I don't think anyone has any information when the Spice Red package will be available to order. We're all ears.

The Spice editions cannot even be ordered and entered in the system yet, GM did say in April it would be 4th quarter.....so we wait, any day now.
