Thanks for the heads-up! Been checking weekly for this! I don't know how guys who already have their order in did it without going crazy.
I've always loved Torch Red and the Storm Trooper look with Arctic White/all Black accents and Adrenaline Red interior has been my favorite combo on all C7's since the beginning but with the addition of Sebring Orange, I can't decide!
I also love all of the Nardo Grey type colors that manufacturers are doing now but wish they would have gone darker with the Ceramic Matrix Grey.

Does the Sebring Orange Design Package price of $6995 *INCLUDE* the $1000 upcharge for the Sebring Orange paint, or is it in addition to the package price?


Any thoughts appreciated....

That's good, I may need to go in and price a Z06 and decide if I should cancel my ZR1 order and get a Z06 instead.

I find it very interesting they apply a destination charge still even if you do NCM delivery method. Why?

Its a standardized charge required by law so dealers closer to a factory, etc do not have a sales advantage over dealers located farther away.

There is no additional charge for the Sebring Orange paint when you opt for the SODP.

Another item of interest, in addition to the gas guzzler tax not being included in the total, the $2995 price to add a transparent roof, etc. When adding/deleting the Jake Stinger Stripe option and watching the change to the vehicle rendering, it appears as though the stripe goes over the Carbon Fiber on the hood, and not any of the painted surface....if this is accurate, why would someone pay money to cover up the gorgeous CF?

I agree. Why would anybody want to cover up the phenomenally expensive process of centerline book matching the carbon fiber with some cheap decal is beyond me.

Hopefully this isn't a stupid question but- to get magnetic ride control do you have to buy the ZTK package? When they state "performance suspension", I wasn't sure if that's something different than the MRC.

If I read it correctly, it's a higher tuned track suspension, similar to the Z07 suspension on the Z06. That, the larger rear wing, and more aggressive front aero add to the additional downforce.

My like for like builds came in about $28K difference, however that amount will be greater as the Z06 will come with discounts off of MSRP and the ZR1 most likely will not. Plus that delta could be less, but add more to the Z06 price, if I chose all the exposed carbon fiber trim on the Z06. Something I'm really not interested in.

I am really not obsessed with carbon fiber stuff either, I don't see any reason to pay thousands more for some center matched whatever that some seem to be fixated on.

Good luck to those shopping with hopes of a possible order. I already have my Grand Sport, but will check out the configuration page. Since the page just recently launched, there might be some bugs here and there which is to be expected. Surprised they didn't port a 5th view of the exterior to show off the hood a bit more akin to the overhead view of the Grand Sport configurator (4th dot).

Mine built out at $138,550. That doesn't include the Orange package and the $5,000 Engine Build Experience.

Regarding all the exposed carbon fiber trim which is standard, are the coupe rear quarter vents also carbon fiber or are they Carbon Flash like the other models? Considering the side skirts, rear spoiler, front splitter, side vents, roof, and center matched shaker hood are all exposed carbon fiber on the ZR1, I would hope GM completes the look.
