Its really too bad that unlike Porsche you can't decode the VIN to get Color, Trim, etc.
Hopefully GM releases a report on the 20,181 C8s made as to what options were the most popular (duh...High Wing lol) etc. I'm sure Torch Red, White, Black and Silver remained popular choices. I'm more interested in seeing how well Sebring, Accelerate Yellow and Rapid Blue did.

They already released this info in summary form. The NCM will post more details after production ends.
Totally agree with CamsC8 about "Its really too bad that unlike Porsche you can't decode the VIN to get Color, Trim". For example, I have a friend who has an '87 3.2 Coupe with an interior of blue half leather with pinstripe cloth seat inserts. The leather on the seat bolsters had become scuffed and he wanted to recolor it. To do this he needed to identify the trim color so that the supplier can make up the correct tone of blue. So he just used a VIN decoder, if I'm not mistaken it was Vingurus, and this way he found out that the color was Venetian Blue Metallic.

Is it possible to determine how many 2020 HTCs were built before mine with my VIN ending 5110641?
Designer Imagines A Corvette That Looks More Like a Corvette Than the Corvette
