Default :-) My 2027 HTC Order has been Submitted

After years of waiting, planning, saving (a little for a down payment), I can now say that I have submitted an order for an HTC. I decided to go with Matick Chevrolet after viewing some of their Facebook C8 post. Thanks to the person that posted the GM Order Guide https://www.gmfleetorderguide.com as you can export the entire RPO list for SR, GS, Z06, ZR1, and ZXR1. With those codes, along with Matick Chevrolet's (Alan Johnson's configurator), I could spec out my configuration. Then I emailed their staff with a spreadsheet of my config with RPO Codes and then started an email thread with their Corvette team and away we go. Just within a day, I was able to get emailed to me the "Workbench" pdf.

Here are the basics:
Convertible (3LT)
Torch Red
GT2 Bucket Seats
Custom Interior Trim and Seat Combination (HMO/HVV) Black Seats with Gray
Front Radiator Covers
High Wing Spoiler in Carbon Flash Metalic
Convertible Engine Appearance Package
Engine Cover (Silver)
Full Length Silver Stripe
Yellow Brake Cals
Quad Center Exhaust
Standard Aluminum 5 Spoke Wheels
Museum Delivery

Very Nice. How were you able to create the photo of your build? Or did you create the photo from 2026 GM Configurator?

It was created from Chevrolet's 2026 Configurator. I just took a PC screenshot and reduced the size using a graphics program. The image is a little too big though.
