I'm glad you like your car sir. Please stop talking about it.

There are larger groups that don't really generate enough interest to make it worth it.

However, a sticky that has all the special editions linked in the first post may be a good idea (similar to the official colors thread) and generate enough traffic to make it worthwhile. I know that most special editions already have an "official thread" already out there that could be referenced.
That's not a bad idea. One sticky thread with links to the relevant special edition threads would be pretty handy to have.

I'm not giving him **** about his car. I'm letting him know it's socially awkward and cringeworthy to constantly bring up it's RPO code rarity.

I did a quick search for 'Atlantic Edition'. It's pretty much this same guy begging everyone to recognize the significance of his trim package.

Everything on that car can be had on other C7s via Chevy's accessory catalog. It's not a big deal. If someone wants to make a case for rare trim RPOs then I'd argue something like twilight blue would be a better choice. It's not something you can just order out of the catalog and install in an hour.

I'm not saying twilight blue is that big of a deal either, but at least it's genuinely unique.

Possibly. Three total posts here, all in this thread, all trolling the OP.

Is there specific criteria to produce a sticky? Is it at the discretion of a moderator?

If you have problems with people discussing their Corvette you're in the wrong place.

Here's an idea, if you're so passionate about documenting the "Atlantic Edition" why not register a domain name and create your very own website where you're free to do whatever you want?
People do it all the time for obscure automobiles.

Here’s the press release of the Atlantic/Pacific design editions, pretty cool option packages.

Sticky of all special packages would be ok, there have been several.

One thread for ALL the so called special editions. Then is it settled?

They came with the luggage? I thought only the P.E.s came with the luggage.

Quite good luggage, btw.

The luggage was on clearance at the GM store recently. I'm sure it was snapped up by all those people clamoring to build clone Atlantic Editions.
