Z51 discontinued for 2018?
I havent seen any dealers with 2018 z51s. Are they discontinued because most Z51 buyers are probably just spending a bit more and going for the Grand Sport Instead?

Z51 is still available for those that want it, but for the slight price difference between a loaded Z51 with mag ride, most buyers are opting for the Grand Sport.

However, there are many people who much prefer the narrow-body look, but want the performance equipment. The Z51 still sells well, plus you can actually get UHP all-seasons for it and drive it year-round.
For an identical price, I'd still choose the Z51 over the GS for daily driving duty.

Which is why I'm glad I live in N central TX. I can drive the Z year round. 😎

I'm still wishing for a narrow body Z06.

They're just using stock photos they've been using for years.

After GM updated the wheels on the 18 to the Z51 style, I know I've pared back on the Z51 orders. The bang for the buck on the base car is quite good now(always was just better without added cost). A non-MR Z51 makes for a fun and flexible track toy as you can change shocks out pretty inexpensively.
I would expect Z51 sales to dip a bit thru the 2018 MY. Great car none the less.
