Default Any websites to determine if other builds are similar to yours?

Before my C7 I had a '13 ZL1 and there was a website where you can basically build your exact car and it will tell how many other vehicles were produced with your options.

Here it is: http://www.zl1registry.com/zl1-statistics.php

Is there anything like that for the Corvettes?

Curious about this as well.

No, not like that. GM releases the build stats for the model year which breaks it down by options and colors. You can get an idea of how many cars were ordered like yours that way. The 2016 break down should probably be out in July (?) maybe. 2014 & 15 are on the forum here somewhere if you wanna dig around a bit.

Yup, I came across this on Google. I suppose this is as good as it gets.

You are correct. GM maintains and provides records on individual options and colors for each model, but not for combinations of options / colors.

Quoting from the the sales pitch for build sheets at NCM (link here, highlight added):

The Build Sheet, often considered “the holy grail” to many folks is a cool item to find. It is often the only means of verifying exactly what options came with your particular car, and helps you determine how many Corvettes were produced exactly like yours. The build sheet is what goes down the line with the car when it is being assembled. It indicates to the line worker exactly what goes on that specific car.
I have the build sheet for mine but I cannot figure out how it might show how many identical cars were built. There are a few undefined numbers on it and I haven't a clue what they mean.

Does anyone know and care to share how to decipher the numbers that are not labeled with corresponding option descriptions on the build sheet?

Thanks, and sorry I'm helping the OP much here!

As has already been stated, there is no way of determining the number of cars built with a specific combination of options. Having the car's build sheet will only provide a specific description of that car's build.

I accept that. I was somewhat skeptical of the NCM claim anyway because there would be no way of knowing what future orders may be when a build sheet is printed.

Nevertheless, I would like to have a better idea of what all the numbers on the build sheet represent.

Here is a photo of my build sheet with some of the entries circled. Does anyone know what they mean?

Thanks again.

I haven't seen any website that will give you that information. Only way that I can think of is to go to the official color thread for you car's color and search there. Might take a while to read all the posts but it would give you an idea of how many cars were like/close to yours.
