Default Got the configurator to work - Rapid Blue Z51

Finally got the configurator to work properly. Rapid blue with sky cool grey seats. 1LT, Z51, bright silver wheels, bright red calipers, black rocker half skirts, transparent roof, standard aero, silver intake manifold cover. High wing is a LPO that has to be dealer installed, probably will pass on that for now. Wife approves.

Apparently rapid is brighter then shows... like Porsche Miami Blue or Ford Grabber Blue. Perfect... that's what I want.

Bro I am really liking that color to, very nicely configured. Gotta go with black wheels though.

I went rapid blue z51, 3lt. Put the black trident wheels, but they look to be a dealer added option? Same with high wing, not available with museum delivery. Have to redo those I guess. It looks much better to me with body colored side scoops, so checked that box as well. Yellow calipers, black with yellow stitching interior, yellow seat belts.
Wife approved, but still says selling the current C7 vert isn't an option. So now the debate is its it worth it to give up my truck and jeep to buy this, or just add a built C6 to the current fleet?

I love it. I hope you don't have to wait too long to get your hands on it.

Yeah I just reserved an orange 3LT Z51 with yellow calipers, bright silver wheels, grey GT2 seats with yellow seat belts...body parts painted body color. I just bought a '16 Z06 and didn't like the C8 at the review but looking at the configurator I like it much better...plus the tremec 8 Spd DCT is pretty cool.

Great combo, OP.

What colors are available for the intake manifold cover?

I designed a very similar car but with black wheels. I’m having a tough time not wanting 2LT though...

Standard is black. Optional are silver or red. I had wanted red but the silver pops with the chrome emblems on the car and the silver wheels. The valve covers are still red so they coordinate nicely with the brake calipers.

I like the 2 tone blue interior with the rapid blue exterior. Stunning...

I love that too, but you need 3LT.

Everyone who has seen it says rapid blue is much lighter and brighter than what the configurator shows. More like Porsche Miami blue or mustang grabber blue.

I'm liking that - but too similar to what I'm likely to go with.

No worries, though, I'll be moving out of the area shorty.

I agree! I don't get why my favorite rim (black trident) is an accessory. So if I already pay for the Z51 package and get the Z51 rims, is it there going to be a discount for the black trident?

That rapid blue is REALLY growing on me, and I typically like the darker blues. Gotta take a look at it closer at Kerbeck this weekend when I'm there to order. I'm sure the guys there have a ton of c7's sitting around.

Going basic black seats even though 2 tone does look - SWEET, or "****!" I haven't heard that expression in a long time!

When my grandma had black wheels on her Camry (true story) I knew it was time to go back to silver wheels.

Good choice.

Where did you and Tool Hoarder find the details about the high wing spoiler and trident wheels being LPOs that are dealer installed? And also the museum delivery info? That configurator is pretty damn cool especially how detailed you can get with it.
