Default 2017 Z06 order guide is up!

Hey there fellow members, the 2017 Z06 order guide appears to be up:

Doesn't look like much of anything has changed.

Default GM and Their "Color" Packages

There's a potential non-starter for me, and it began during the 2016 MY when they released all of those color-combination packages including "Black Suede". The issue is that I only order cars with black interiors. To me: any other color interior is hideous and, well, wrong. Black. Only black.

According to the documentation, with the release of Black Suede, GM has made it impossible to order 3LT (base/GS) or 3LZ (Z06) with: Black interior, Comp Seats, Microfiber inserts (and wheel, and shifter, and...) unless you order the Black Suede package. Which won't let you choose LB Red as an exterior color. And quite frankly, I don't want my dashboard done in carbon fiber because it looks like ****.

I hope the dealers have a way to override the color restrictions, otherwise I maybe reconsidering my Corvette.

Was not aware of the suede option restriction to only the Black Suede package. I didn't get the Black Suede package but was able to order my GS with 3LT, black/suede interior (196), suede steering wheel (N26), comp seats with suede insert (AE4 & IL6).

OK, good, and thanks for the confirmation. It looks like a simple case of me misunderstanding the guide a bit.

Carry on.

I'm thinking similar 3LZ M7 coupe. LBR with Jet Black interior with red stitching. Definitely going with Comp Seats but still haven't decided on the suede inserts.

Does the red stitching match the LBR paint? Torch red stitching might look stupid with LBR on the outside.

What does Updated infotainment system 2.6 add to MyLink?

There was a post somewhere on this forum that claimed late 2016 cars got the Infortainment and PDR updates. I'm guessing that claim is untrue.

Order the white stitching, then use a burgundy fabric marker to dye the white to burgundy.

It looks good. Below is a link to my original thread on the subject and I think they match up nicely.

Red seat belts might be fun.
