It let me choose the body colored wing. Tried it on the dark blue and it would only let me choose black. Weird. Probably just a glitch.

I would guess your number is pretty accurate...but just as a comparison, the current 911 Turbo S is a $200+K car...now I don't think GM is going to try and sell a $225K vette but a 700HP C8 in Z51 would certainly warrant $120K+. Just my 2 cents,

This is my other choice. I need to see both blues to decide. One observation this car looks really good with the roof removed.

I have that colour today, would consider getting it again. But I spec’d in yellow

I did not know that! Haven’t followed the C7 the last 2-3 years. Just looked up the official picture thread and I love the color! Would also love to see it in person.

I’d order it for sure if it’s still around in 3-4 years when I’m ready to buy (waiting for the bugs to be worked out and the Z06/Grant Sport to come out to make a decision between those two models). Hope it sticks around until then, although I have a feeling it won’t.

Well that’s incredibly stupid if true.

The car hasn't even hit the street yet and I feel like the high wing is already so played out

I don’t think I’m a year one adopter, but I did play around. Love the LED lighting option on the engine bay. I'm a convertible guy but how can you not get the coupe with the exposed bay?

If GM is smart they're loading all our configurations into a forecasting database. So far they will need to order lots and lots of wings.

I bet they are doing exactly that to get in front of production.

I hope we get the real pricing soon.

These carbon flash stripes are growing on me. I like the taper on them.

Not sure the tool is right but it shows them painted on the transparent top. I want the transparent top for more headroom.

Any idea if the stripes are on solid (painted) roofs only?

Even though I need to see it in person, the high wing just completes this car. (And this is from a guy who hated the "big ****" on the ZR1). And from the other posters, it seems like I'm not alone. GM better get ready for the demand for this option.

Also, the all black Trident spoke wheel seems very popular. GM, make this a regular wheel option please! I dislike the shiny lip on the other black wheel choice.
