Let's see. Carbon wheel center caps. Yep, could buy those already. Stickers on the shoulders...terrible. Carbon 65 doorsill...yawn. Blue brake calipers...mind bending. Limited production of said incredible stickers and already available items, check. $15,000 price tag to further make them special...this will get marked down to about $50 over a regular corvette once it sits in a showroom until 2020.

This should be an awesome depreciating asset for some silly corvette waxers.

That's the first question most people will ask when they see it.

I think Team Corvette needs to retire some people and bring in some new blood. The C7 is following way too closely in the footsteps of the C6. We have Grand Sport and now Carbon Z06. Come on guys show some creative initiative.

It signifies the average age of the Corvette owner.

I'm one of the few that likes the looks. While I'll agree that $15,000 is way over priced for what you get, I still like the looks of the car

I have no doubt they will. They'll also bitch that chrome wheels are not available as an option when the order guides are released.

It's not overpriced if you add up all those items as options. Looks to be a bargain.

Code:
   $995   Ceramic Matrix Gray exterior (blue top on Convertibles)
   $500   Unique fender stripes and door graphics
 $1,495   Black wheels with machined grooves paired with summer-only tires* (Cup-style wheels for Grand Sport and Blade-style wheels for Z06)
   $595   Blue brake calipers
 $7,985   Visible carbon-fiber ground effects, hood section and roof (Coupe models) or tonneau inserts (Convertible models)
 $2,520   New visible carbon-fiber spoiler (all models) and quarter intake ducts (Coupe)
   $210   Center caps with Carbon logo
   $200   Carbon Flash badges and outside mirrors
 $2,800   Jet Black suede-wrapped interior with blue stitching (3995 - calipers - dash CF + stitching)
   $995   Carbon-fiber steering wheel rim and gloss carbon-fiber interior trim
 $2,495   Competition Sport seats
   $275   Carbon 65 Edition sill plates
	
$21,065

I like the look except for the fender thing. It looks like someone is using blue painters tape to mask off an area for the actual design.

Mopar makes HP and GM makes stickers? Lol...
Everyone on the Demon's nuts? The Viper is being shutdown. This car is being made in limited numbers. Overpriced ? Sure, I wouldn't pay that extra money for stickers as I didn't pay extra money for Napa leather and trim. Some of the same people ******* this car are fist pumping for Callaways horrid wagon and el-corvette

15 grand for stickers & (debatable) rice...guess it takes its cues from the (forced up-build) $23 grand C7.R package...all show & no extra go

I agree with the others in this context re: Mopar makes HP, GM makes stickers

I'll be seeing it in the flesh Tuesday I would assume. If anyone wants specific pics let me know. I'm interested in seeing the steering wheel myself

Always an after market option!!!
That's a good looking steering wheel.
