I know people have been anxious for this.

I pretty much know what the prices are already, but it's nice to be able to officially finalize my build choices, as I'm sure it is for everyone else who've been waiting!

58-66NB

Some options are not listed (such as E60 Front Lift, TU7 2-Tone Seats), at least I don't see them. EFR Carbon Flash Exterior (includes side vent) is a no cost option over the standard body-color.

Front Lift is in Options > Exterior Options > Mechanical Options (at the bottom)

Two-tone seats are in Options > Interior Options

Thanks Bear!

When you go to the Eray page now, it no longer says "Available late 2023". Just speculating here, but does that mean they are going to start production earlier than anticipated, like with the other models in Sept?

/Bear/

It was stated by a Corvette engineer at the NCM BASH that ERay production starts on September 5, along with the Stingray and Z06.

Oh, I didn't realize that. That's great to hear.

And the million dollar question is what will the allocation distribution be between base,eray, and z06?

/Bear/

It was great news, but as with many things related to Corvette production, it could be subject to change. It'll be interesting to see what ERay allocations come through on July 27th!

Only $118,000 for my HTC build at msrp...now to find msrp and not wait forever...

Thanks for the post. Has anyone seen the Carbon Flash Metallic in person? It's hard to visualize it on the build tool.

/Bear/

@Myfourth1 here's a thread with some real Carbon Flash Metallic photos: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...or-2024-a.html

Hopefully, that helps you!

Thanks. It's weird, on the build tool it actually looks darker than the regular black, and yet it's not in person. It looks lot like the Lexus RX350 Caviar color...

The sea wolf color on the configurator doesn't look like the live pics.

Harvey Gluck's Son

Agreed. Looks much darker...

My prediction:
Stingray: ~40-50%
E-Ray: ~25-30%
Z06: ~25-30%

This would track with recent historical analogies when three models were available. Most recently C7 with Stingray, Grand Sport, Z06.

If I were GM I would boost ZO6 and ERay production at the expense of Stingray production. Prob better profit per car over the Stingray.

Garret

What they need to do is put on a 3rd shift and stop this **** they are pulling with low numbers knowing they have a backlog.

imaposer

My personal prediction is they won't restrict eray orders after about 3 months of ramp up. The Z06 is limited to the number of engines they can build. The base models are nearly caught up with demand with dealers offering build slots at msrp with no wait. The most profitable way forward would be to run as many Z06 as they can make, and as many Erays as they can sell, then fill out production with base models.
Fingers crossed, because that's what it will take for me to get an Eray for next summer.

Third shift is unlikely. BGA needs the downtime to maintain the line. Would also require another complete crew.

They could add Saturday overtime on both shifts and get another 20%. Don’t know it the UAW would allow it though.
