My order was placed Friday (10th) and dealer was surprised that it went in. Of course it won't go anywhere until after the 16th since it is a vert. Dealer says he would guess that the order starts moving sometime in Feb.. I would like to get by June. We will see. Regardless, Accelerate yellow 3LT Vert, Z51, mag suspension,front lift, carbon flash wheels, yellow calipers, carbon fiber interior trim, floor mats and battery package. I also got the mud flaps, but will not have the dealer install until I see how they look. The waiting begins.

Burgundy? My recollection of the edge red when I saw the car at Hendrick's was that it was a dark red. I could be wrong, but I certainly don't want burgundy. The bright red just seemed a little too much. Gotta get more info on the color. I was going to just go with yellow, but the red just seemed like it was meant to be. Decisions, decisions. Appreciate the input Tool!

Well, that is not going to do it. It is not really burgundy, but it is so dull it looks more burgundy than red. Damn. I'll waffle between yellow and bright red for a couple of days now. Get the wife's opinion, both my sons, their friends and the girlfriend, etc. Glad for this forum.

That is what I saw with the red. The calipers balanced the taillights and the vette emblems. Looked sharp. I just thought the edge red was redder than it is. Bright red is sounding better. My son's first impression was no way with the yellow car. Then he looked at it on the build site and called me back saying it looked real good with the same observations I had regarding the lights and emblem.
