Your wish will be granted! They are taking a lesson out of the Porsche play book on choices.

Very minimal this is how I order all of my Corvettes. If im looking to drive a 3lt Corvette I would rather buy a Cadillac then.

Torch red
Black interior
Machined gun metal gray wheels with red calipers
LT1
DCT
Basically stock except for one thing. I'm really hoping for a convertible top. It can be either black cloth or body color fiberglass, just so long as it folds down into a flat topped deck lid like the previous 4 generations.

5 years old with a bit of road rash by the time I get one. Gotta live through a C7 first; hope you guys are babying the heck out of yours for when I buy one!

Silver or white with red interior, I hope...

This thread’s title is, “What is your ME going to look like?”

Answer:

BEAUTIFUL — no matter what color it is, now how it will be equipped.

What's yours going to look like? I plan to order one so I can get exactly what I want. Here's a list of my major options:

Torch Red
Kalahari interior
Manual (if offered)
LT2
Polished Chrome Rims
Sport Seats (not planning to race, but I'm a minimalist when it comes to this)
Clear top option
with all of that except mine is a vert.

Default Convertible for sure!!!

Torch Red unless there are some new outrageous colors.
Black Sport seats with red stiching; fairly traditional.
Manual first or DCT second.
Chrome rims unless they offer modern HRE style of rims, like what ONPOINT stated.
PDR, Carbon Fibre steering wheel; loud exhaust hopefully.

Anything but chrome wheels. How many mid engine sports cars do you see with those?

I'm 36 and love my chrome wheels for the street. I have a painted set for trackdays.

I saw Roger Penske's ZR1 at the NCM Bash in April. Red with the low wing and, wait for it, CHROME wheels !! I think at least one of Penske's PC-XX cars that Rick Mears drove to victory at Indy also had chrome wheels.

Drive that beautiful Z51 Corvette with pride young man - you are a winner and in very good company !!

Exactly Binger, that there is no “right way” for how our Corvette should look.

I take that back, there is one right way on how a Corvette should look, and that is how its owner(s) wants it to look.

My choices are more along the "rule out" line of what I definitely do NOT want:

Any color except Torch Red. You just know that will lead to endless "Is that a Ferrari?" questions . . . not that that is a bad thing, it's just not my thing.

Any interior color except black. Don't like black interiors, and never did.

Any wheel finish except black. Makes your car look like a beater taxicab missing its hubcaps. Ugly, ugly, ugly.

Mechanically, I would prefer a manual if they offer it - which I don't think they will. I don't need 800 horsepower - but 650+ would be nice.


As far as options - load that sucker up. Over my 40+ years of Corvette ownership I have found that I actually do end up using all the bells and whistles once I've mastered them.


Looking forward to it.
