Post pics when you get it. What dealer was it at and was it brand new? I had that one listed at Paradise Chevrolet but I hadn't seen in on their site in a long time....

Called me today. They've located my parts, and they plan to call me back to schedule the installation. FINALLY!

I'm hoping they do a little more than just put the parts on for you. Had you not been persistent you would have missed out on a few grand worth of parts on your car! That should be worth something like a few more free oil changes or something.... :-)
Glad you are getting them though, it will be like having a new car again!

There were 184 with the Z07 package. If you are talking just Coupes, there were 157 Coupes with the Z07 package. That data is accurate.
When you start talking about options like Competition seats, it is not as complete of information. I've collected a bit of it, but I'm sure I've missed many and I don't have direct access to that data. If I make a trip to the museum again I'll see if they can give me that access. So until then, the spreadsheet I have for the registry is the best shot at giving you that view....
In the spreadsheet you can sort / filter the columns based on that info. So filtering first by Z07 vehicles, I'm showing 47 with that combination. Just Coupes, 38. But I do think that number is low / not accurate, I think there are more comp seats out there that I missed....
A way to tell if things are fairly accurate on a car when you look at the spreadsheet is comparing MSRP as shown on the website vs the Calculated MSRP. If they are within $100 of each other then it is pretty spot on....you'll see many are not as I don't have that info.

Wow, this model looks nice! Can't confirm that it is a different 1/18th scale model than the Mint Model one I posted earlier though. I went ahead and put my reservation in for one of these, we'll see which one I get first. I know someone that has models from this company and says they are very nice... https://gts-models.com/fr/gt151/264-...port-2017.html

Love that model. wish they would make a conv.
Question -- who makes winter, or all season for the G S, those 19 / 20. Can some one help me? Iowa winter is coming, not that I am driving in snow, just don't want the tires to crack. Thank you G S Collector family. Jim

Supposedly Michilen is coming out with one in the spring. Probably doesn’t help you but unless you change wheels I don’t think you have many options.

Thank you so much for getting back to me. I just ordered 4- P A 4's. These are non run flat, bot they are the size, front are at the store, rear still need to be made. Was told I should have them in time. Had to put $ up front, guess it was they did not want me to back out of the deal. F / R (4) tires m / b- out the door $2230.62. Is that good?

The Michelin SS tires through America’s Tires would be $1,973. So not to far off.
I will pas along some hearsay from Spring Mountain a few weeks back. One of the dealers said he had a comparison ride of the Michelin SS vs Pirelli tires and it was night and day, said the Pirellis were like ice skates.
I wasn’t aware that there were even Pirelli options for this car. I would search the forums and see if others may have some first hand experience with them.
I would also make sure they have the proper tire mounting equipment. These tires can be hard to mount.
