2020 C8 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified
Default Eray Gift Arrived today

It appears that GM went back to providing the speed model in Painted body color for the Eray gift in lieu of the Clear model as provided for 2025, which depicts the engine and electric motor / battery. Don't know what was given out in 2024. Don't know if all the 2026 vehicle gifts went back to painted to match colors or if it was a mid year change. Bean counters..... at it again ! They likely spend a fair amount for the fancy black presentation box and packaging.

Mine arrived today. Car was delivered late November, 2025. I'm still very appreciative for the gift !!!!

That’s a step down in my opinion, likely by bean counters like you said. But the speed model pops in Riptide Blue! I got the clear glass model for my 2024 E-Ray.

I purchased mine back in early July and still haven't recieved mine as of yet. I called 4 times only to tell me that they will escalate this and to call back in a month. I have given up on getting one for my 25.

They are not doing a good job with these. I bought mine in February and I have not heard anything about it. And I bet I get the solid one. He should not take 3 months to send those out.

When I purchased my 23 and 25 SR I had my model in about 6 weeks from getting my car.

Yep, they went back to the Stingray setup for these it appears. I have one for my 23 Stingray, and it looks like this. But my 24 and 25 E-Rays have the clear version showing the motors, and I like it much better. I see they are cutting corners big time on these now. Sad, because the E-Ray is a special car...the first of them all. They should have kept I the same for all years.

HiC
I purchased my Torch Red 25' E Ray in early January 26'. Received my ClearGlass E Ray model and the Torch Red platform it rests in, about 6 weeks lateR.

TODAY... I finally received a hard copy of our Corvette Owners Manual, which I requested over 2 months ago, which required opening a case with GM.

UNFORTUNATELY FOR ME.... I received a 2026 Corvette Owners Manual!!! Guess this is TYPICAL of the GM employees today. Just think how much $$$$ might have been saved if they had simply included them in our cars originally!!!

Being the ***** that I am... I am going to get a 25' Corvette Owners Manual FOR FREE... If it takes me until I die trying!!!! LOL!

It's also strange that some of you are STILL waiting MONTHS later, and with my cars...that only happened on the first one, my 223 Stingray. After that, for both of my E-Rays they came within a month or so. Might depend on location, because I also got the title to all of my cars within about 30 days as well.
