Thought I'd share how I'll be ordering! Would love to see everyone else's specs!
Love the high wing and targa option. Especially in black
The only thing I'd change is adding black exhaust tips (which will be easy)

Just contact a dealership. All that thing does is place a reservation for you. You can just go direct for the same thing.

I like the AW above, but I would skip the black side vents. As for wheels, I would get the cheapest and upgrade to CCWs.

The C8 is looking nice in his image above.

Is that wing a real option for the C8?

It appears to be a real, stand alone option. Have a hunch though when dust settles it will only be part of the Z package. As you know, it's more profitable to do that. Reason I state that if you pause one of the promo videos advertising the Z they list a "wing" amongst the items included.

I think the BIG mistake they may have made for me anyway was to make the 1LT more attractive than a 3LT, Z51 - at least inmo, and how I configured it! Ceramic Matrix Grey, 1LT with CCW wheels (good call) and the wing pictured above (if it's available ala carte). I personally don't like the "boomerang wing" on the red c8. Looks cleaner w/o it on the ceramic grey they unveiled as white.

1LT works for me though! Under $60k - you kidding me?? I was pleasantly surprised by that. That's an insane deal. ! know that 0-60 time is a Z number, but base is always enough power for me!

Only question is - Can I fit my 3rd set of golf clubs in the FRUNK??

Only problem with that tall wing is putting the top in the trunk.

I can't get it to work... but I want:

Z51 1LT mag ride rapid blue with grey seats and the high wing. I like the more subtle splitter and half skirt as well.
