the tension blue GS was a great LE package. the above "packages" blow.
If they want to move some C7s they should tie a guaranteed C8 allocation with it at a dealer that contractually agrees to sell at no higher than MSRP

I feel like the flyer they released is part of an April fools joke. Who in Gods name made that piece of marketing material...probably the same guy who came up with this special edition apparently. Fail written all over it...literally.

Dealer: A guy you don’t know, who races cars likes this color scheme.
Customer: Anything else special?
Dealer: It cost more, your neighbors will be more envious
Customer: What if I pick my own color?
Dealer; You want to pick your own color you say......well that will be 10k less.

oh, there will be someone on the forum soon with the post asking how valuable this 'special edition' will be after purchasing one, and then followed by posts about 'why does the oil need to be changed after a year' even though they only put 600 miles on the car during that time....

Realistically what % of potential Corvette buyers even know who one of these guys is? The color schemes from already available options are actually pretty ugly together, except maybe the black/red combo. Skinny rally stripes do not look good on a Corvette, period. They would've been better off with a couple celebrity editions, bring in Ludacris to pimp those rides.
And yes, that flyer with all the typos is a joke & that person should be fired or sent to work in the mail room. Probably the same person who came up with the "real person" commercials - one of the worst marketing ideas I've ever seen & they keep coming out with a new one

Sad but true! This is one of the few times I've seen on this forum that most people agree on one subject! I hope GM is LISTENING and will stop this half-assed joke of an effort going forward! It's truly a slap in the face of what is otherwise a World Class car!
