Default Ordering a C8R

I am at a “3000” status for my new 22 C8 Special Edition. (TPW TBD)
My Salesperson is telling me that the Z51 pkg ($6,345) is NOT part of the C8 Special Edition Pkg ($6,595) and is a separate charge over and above the Special Edition Pkg. Can anyone verify for me if it is or is NOT part of that pkg.
Input is greatly appreciated.

C8R special edition and Z51 package are separate yes. One is appearance and aero one is primarily all functional / performance improvements.

Thanks for the quick reply....I assume that they should not be charging me for Accelerate Yellow color and Yellow calipers (they ARE part of the C8R pkg). Correct?

I would have to assume so as long as you’re not overriding anything. Picking the package automatically applies the decals and colors and aero kit, at least on the visualizer. Wouldn’t be a special edition otherwise methinks.

based on those two foot notes, it appears they will build 1000 couples and 1000 convertibles….. not 1000 cars total
