Yes you can watch it live! You need to go to the NCM website and under the Explore tab click on the webcam link. I think it might be Delivery Cam 8 or 9.

There is no audio on the Delivery 9 web cam (or any of them - actually, I think one of the outdoor ones does have audio on for some reason). Delivery 9 is the one to watch though if you want to see how they setup the drawing and get ready for it.

If you want to hear the audio, they do it on Facebook Live. You can watch for it on their feed or go to the Facebook Live map and you'll see a live feed start up in Bowling Green shortly before the raffle time.

Congrats, registry updated, post photos when you have a chance!

Looks like that moves us up to 28 forum members with GSCE's! Keep them coming!

Default Messed up color on dealer website

Seen a few dealer sites recently using these "stock" photos of the GSCE. Color looks messed up from all angles, not sure where they are getting the photo from....

Ironically enough, probably from GM themselves. Have you seen the build configuration page lately? I don't know what happened, but the site went through an update about two months ago, and now a lot of the colors are totally off. The "Carbon Flash" Grand Sport Center Stripe is now gray (globally), and the hash mark for the CE is like...Sonic the Hedgehog blue. I was going to find the correct color code via debugging and email them the correct info, but decided to make a sandwich instead.

Thanks LazCS. Registry updated.

You mention CFlash. CFlash Ground Effects? If so, was that factory ordered? 'Cause that would push the MSRP up another 2995.

Based on the 89,005 number I would guess it had the Battery Protection option too.

I am very sorry figures I would screw that up. Post has been updated to Carbon Flash Painted $100. I was trying to list the options that were showing extra dollars. Just was not being thorough. It did have battery protection as well!

Another edit, should probably just replace the carbon flash emblems with the battery protection package :-) The Carbon Flash Badge Package (EYT) is part of the Z25 Collector's Edition, should not have been an extra $100.

So it works out like this:
Base GS 3LT = $76,190
+$4,995 for Collector's Edition
+$4,000 for Convertible
+$1,725 for Automatic Transmission
+$1,995 for Competition Seats
+$100 for Battery Protection Package
= $89,005

Hopefully that's how it looks on your sticker / invoice. I've seen enough of these at this point I'm hoping I have it :-)

From the NCM Bash, Harlan's data showed:
"970 GS Collector Editions built to date"

So I'm guessing they'll get all 1,000 built. Haven't seen any specific breakdowns though of the CE yet.

Did you get the phone call "live" while the raffle picked your number? How was that experience like? Where were you when you answered?

If the winner is not right there, they call immediately in front of everyone to try and catch the winner live. The videos of the raffles are posted to their Facebook page so you can see and actually hear the person on the other end of you listen closely.

I was sitting in my car in front of the grocery store. Caller ID comes through as Bowling Green KY so I had a pretty good idea what was going to happen.

Member eamespm GSCE #0279 was at the Bash today and picked up on the statistics that were shared on stage by GM in regards to the Z25 Collector's Edition. He said they commented that the numbers were a few weeks old, so sometime in March.

I'm going to assume that future statistics they publish in regards to the Z25's will be similar, so I created a tab in the registry spreadsheet with it setup in the same way so I can check our numbers against theirs. Tab is called Statistics from GM.

Looking at the other production numbers. Watkins Glen Gray was the most popular color for the 2017 Grand Sports with 2,683 (23%) of the 11,566 made were that color. Of the 2,683 WGG GS's, 926 (35%) were GSCE's

The GSCE's make up 8% of the 2017 GS population.

Definitely not the rarest of the 2017 GS's if that's what anyone was hoping for. That honor goes to the 2 Yellow w/red interior and 2 Black Rose w/red interior cars.
