Is the Elkhart blue the exact same color as Admiral blue? They had an Elkhart blue in the C2 Corvette and it was much lighter.

Default Well Done Jag

I was there as well. You totally covered the presentation.
You r awesome.
After presentation the new color paint panels were outside for viewing in the sunlight. Lots of flake in the gray.
Not one C8 question. Not one manual trans question.
Not that there would have been an answer.
Great weather this year.

Closer to Laguna Blue than Admiral Blue.

Very curious on those new OEM side skirts,

Did they say if they bolt up to the factory bolts?

Thanks for posting all this BTW!

Some reel gems in these three vids. Plus, it's much easier to see the color of the panels with the individual fotos you've posted. Thanks, Jeremy!

BTW, not for the first time, but I did notice from the panel listing production that the total Corvette production in a down year (closed for at least a month+), Corvette sales still came close to the total production of ALL other 9 brands combined.

Awesome info! I haven’t had a chance to watch the videos, and quickly perused the post, so forgive me if it was covered and I missed it. I’ve been dragging my heels for the new color info because I want blue, but AB just didn’t have the pop I want. Looks like I’ll be waiting till October. Is the Elkhart Lake Blue a metallic color?

That said the convertible versions are so cool it's hard to not at least consider one...

Meanwhile I'm surprised the production numbers for convertibles are 2 or 3 percent of each variant of the c7...

Is anyone else surprised? Or is it a time of the year thing?

Thanks for posting up the slides and the videos for those of us who couldn't make it to the Michelin birthday bash
For me, the targa top makes the convertible option a nonstarter. It’s a perfect compromise, in my opinion between the open air feel and maintaining the lines of the coupe. It also eliminates the security concerns and replacement costs of having a fabric roof. I’ve also never driven a convertible that didn’t suck to see out of with the top up.
