What would be interesting to know, are those all customer orders or are some dealer stock orders (and what do those numbers look like)?

Since the top 3 colors are typically Red, White, and Black. I guess it's a little interesting that Blue and Gray are listed ahead of Black.

Top colors are Red, White, and Blue. God Bless America.

I have Elkhart Blue on order with Z51 with the mirrors, spoiler, and rims all Carbon Flash. I keep second guessing myself, thinking I want Blade Silver with the same options and red calipers added.

Sorry, but torch red, and white are boring. At least with Long Beach red, I won’t be seeing it everywhere.

Maybe. It was a late release. Rapid Blue is just starting to show up and it it being ordered in large numbers. This could happen with Zeus Bronze too.

And crazy to think this is only 1 dealers allotment of cars. So likely there are a larger bunch of the same color but for multiple dealers running down the production line in groups. I'd love to see what that list looks like...

Yeah, thinking Zeus bronze and Accelerate yellow are going to be one year wonders. The yellow is a shade my wife would pic, and she is absolutely horrible at color.

We don't have any dealer stock ordered. All of our orders on the order bank are customer orders.

Since I saw the zeus bronze, with natural interior, I've thought it was different and beautiful. I think it could be made even better with a clear flat wrap like the BMW. I'm still too conservative for this, but i think it's beautiful.
