Unlikely. According to the irrational haters in this section, even though the C7.Rice "Sticker Edition" is exactly as fast and fun as any other C7 Z06 with Z07, nobody will ever want one and Chevy will have to pay people to haul them away. Especially since it comes in convertible flavor. The neo-Puritans who lie awake nights worried sick that GM is "cheapening" the hallowed Z06 marque will have simultaneous heart attacks and strokes if they ever see one of those.
The best source of info, and of an actual C7.R if you really want one, would be a large Forum dealer. It was only announced a couple weeks ago and will probably sticker for $110k so I really doubt they're anywhere near sold out. As I recall, the C6 Z06 Carbon Edition was supposed to be limited to 500 but, even though it was a noticeable improvement over the base Z, I'm not sure 500 were ever actually ordered. (ETA: sure enough, http://www.thegreatamericansportscar.com/history6.html says the total was only 252) But if the C7.R proves popular, then GM could do like Ferrari and swear to God that only 499 will ever be made, and then sell 600 or 700, because who's going to notice?
