^^^ Those belts look great! They are definitely on my list unless they cost $999. Anyone want to guess what the option price will be? $100 would be reasonable...

Orwell called it Doublethink, the ability to hold two contradictory opinions at the same time without noticing the contradiction.
Sort of like Ultra-Dark White:
Ultra-Dark White is the new black.

Did I also notice correctly that GM is offering (in 3LT / 3LZ ) a headliner in Kalahari and Grey instead of only Black?
That'll change the way exterior colours combine with the interior. I find colours like BR somewhat cold when combined with grey or black interiors, combine them with something stronger and they change completely.

Well other than no Z06 until September. I still say it's the 10 speed transmission.

Pictures do not do the color justice. On a Grand Sport Convertible it looked very very good! And that was INSIDE the plant, I imagine in the sun it would look better!

Steven, if you would have just waited a little longer on the red belts. Wonder what GM is going to charge for these. Corvette is following other manufactures with the colored coded seat belts. Next they will offer colored coded AC/Heat vents.

Our club had an outing yesterday and one of our members has a Carlisle Blue C6. The color is ok (boring) not to my liking. I will have to see all the new colors, so far seems Long Beach Red is going to be my choice (same hue as NRB). I will have to check out Admiral Blue.

Hope they at least announce this week the Z06 changes so we do not have to speculate for 6 months

I realize this is probably unchanged from 2016, but is there a way to get the microfiber suede seat inserts without the suede steering wheel and shifter ****? Particularly with the Comp Seats?
