Greetings. Just purchased serial number 356 new from a dealer in St. Louis. This is one of the units with the red brake calipers. First corvette for this family and we love it so far!

Congrats! I'll update you in the registry! What city / state should I put down?

I'm just starting to get all of the order data for every GSCE built. I have data for all but 6 of the GSCE's in the US at this point, almost done!

For the red calipers, looks like there were actually 42 of those built for the US (could be a couple more I suppose in those last 6, we'll see). Not a common option!

Put us down for Lake of the Ozarks Missouri. There are a couple more unique options as well. Traveling for a week but will get the build sheet and update when I can.

Thanks for the location info, I'll get you updated.

I have your complete info as far as build.
J6F Red Calipers
TTV Carbon Flash Spoiler / Mirrors
VK3 Front License Plate Frame
Automatic Coupe

Currently I'm missing full data on 6 cars in the US, but Auto / Coupes with Red Calipers, Carbon Flash Spoiler/Mirrors, I'm seeing 4 with that combination. If you want to get to that detail :-)

I had #452 delivered from Raymond Chevrolet in Antioch, Illinois to my house in Victoria, Texas this last Friday. A8, carbon flash spoilers, black calipers, dual roofs, was brand new with 9 miles. Totally different ride than my 2007 ZO6. Touring mode is so much smoother. Still getting to know her and need to sit down with the manual and learn all of the features, especially the steering wheel controls but it's definitely an amazing car. Only driven her once as I've been working OT.

Window tint and a paint correction and ceramic coat and clear film protection soon and already have the Range technology unit.

Man, why does North Carolina seem to be the place with the most? LOL bought this car thinking "only 793 sold in the US, US is pretty big" yet went to car show 2 weeks ago near Charlotte and there were 2 other CE's there in addition to me lol. Took the car to charlotte motor speedway for a track day and another CE was there. Maybe I should have gotten a black GS, might have been more rare lol

Beginning with cheap cosmetic mods. Black lug nuts, blue Blue Grand Sport decals and painting my hood liner (only 2 coats so far)

Actually if you had purchased a black coupe your CE would have been more rare. There were 1,352 black coupes and 272 verts lol.

Purchased #927 three months ago new from the local dealer in Joplin Missouri. Sixth corvette owned, first C7. Now just trying to rack up 500 miles on her so I can change the oil and start to have some real fun!
