Yes, and it still lists Black Rose as a color option which I thought was no longer an option after 2017.

It's being replaced after shutdown so you can get an early 18 in Black Rose

Ceramic Gray is not listed but already see some being delivered.

Does anyone know the exact plant shutdown date and/or reopen?

Thanks in advance!

Cool - always fun to build your own Vette, even if you already own one. Has a couple of new views as well per trim, but is probably going through a series of post-launch updates. For example: The Ceramic Matrix color doesn't seem to be available at all to select. If the Carbon 65 is similar to the Grand Sport Collector's Edition from the 2017 MY, it should be within the selection if the user chooses a Grand Sport or Z06 3LT trim with minor option changes. That's also missing.

To that, I'd say be patient. It should be up and running very soon.

I hope they put the Canadian version of it up soon! We are usually quite a few weeks behind though I'm most interested in the inventory search though, because as of right now I know that a few dealers up here have 2018s (they have listed them on the Auto Trader site) but there is no easy way to find who has what right now.

Indeed not quite yet complete but informative nonetheless.
Thanks for sharing!

I did find one minor error when I tried building a base model and adding the Z51 spoiler to it. In the picture it showed a body color Z06 style spoiler instead, and I don't even think you can get the Z06 spoiler painted anyways. Discovered something I didn't know before, and that's that you have to pay extra for floor mats. I figured they would be standard.

Definitely a few quirks that need to be ironed out.

I just noticed you can't select a Kalahari convertible top with black rose exterior color, forces you to black.... however, I was at a dealer yesterday and they did a workup sheet for me with Kalahari interior and top with Black Rose exterior.

^ For the 2018 GS, what you see is what you get on the build configurator. Because of the recent events, combined with the site relaunch, the following changes should be in effect:

1) Ceramic Matrix Gray needs to be added on the color palette. See the Carbon 65 for details.
2) Black Rose Metallic needs to be removed from the color palette, and/or mentioned that it's a limited available color in the 2018 model year at your local dealership
3) There was an article going around that the a new color will eventually be revealed in a few months. Not sure what that would be or the exact date of the announcement.

Interesting that a new color is anticipated in a few months. This could be enough to make me wait before placing an order for a 2018 model.

I really hope that if they do add the 2018 ZR1 that they have a nice new bold color or colors to offer with the car. Seriously, we've had enough grays and enough dark reds. Time for something new and bold!

Wow, my 14 configured as an 18 is a hair below $80k!

$995 transparent roof option, maybe the dealers will come down on price on these? Or would that be choosing the transparent over the painted cf top...only leaving you one roof?

Click 3LT or 3LZ, then proceed with your build.
