Default Now that pricing is out, what are buyers going to order?

I'm sure the pricing played a role in options that people would select for their car, now that we know pricing, what are people planning on ordering (for those that will be ordering their car and not waiting to buy off the lot down the road)?
My plan...
1YX07 Corvette Stingray Coupe w/ Z51 $53,800.00
2LT Equipment Group 1Y*07/1Y*67 $4,210.00
J6E Yellow Brake Calipers $595.00
NPP Exhaust System Performance $1,195.00
IL4 Sueded Microfiber Seat Inserts &2LT $395.00
UY4 Chevrolet MyLink Navigation System &1LT/2LT $795.00
GBE Crystal Red Tintcoat $995.00
FE4 Magnetic Selective Ride Control w/ PTM 1YX*7 only $1,795.00
MYC 6 Speed Paddle Shift Automatic Transmission $1,350.00

Destination Charge $995.00

$66,125

Will order jet black interior. Not planning on optional wheel finish as I'll likely put a set of HRE's on it.

I know I want Artic White Z51 3LT. I do want brownstone interior. Not sure on wheel colors (I want black but Im conflicted on if it works with the brown interior). NPP and Mag ride. I was expecting about 72 for the car, but with the listed prices I have a MSRP for a few thousand less. I may do the exposed carbon roof, but 2k seems like a lot for this.

Convertible with Z51 package, 3LT, exhaust, CF dash, magnetic shocks, standard trans, and museum delivery.

About the only things I'm staying away from are the track seats, non-silver wheels, and the expensive paints.

Should run about $73,000 or so.

Not sure on color yet but it will be either Cyber grey or Torch Red. Depends a lot on the interior colors.

Black roof for sure.

I think because MSRP came in lower than many expected, lots of buyers will make up the difference with options, lol.

I think that's very true. I was expecting Z51 to be much more expensive and I'm really pleased with the 2LT and 3LT equipment and pricing.

It's going to be a good bit less than that.

Does the bolded item above get the full suede interior - or does that just suede on the seats?

Probably a dumb question, but just trying to figure that out.

AFAIK that's just the seat inserts.
This is the full suede interior, and it's only available on the 3LT cars...

You are right. I was subtracting from your calculations for a rough estimate and forgot to deduct the $1000 for the metallic paint & $400 for suede inserts. So it should look like:

2LT Z51 for me.
White exterior, Red interior
Mag shocks w/PTM
Black wheels
Red Calipers
MyLink NAV

Price should be about $62,500.

I think I am going for a black or Laguna...or red , 7 speed manual, 1Lt Z51....with all the performance options......red calipers.... red comp seats with sueded inserts...black wheels...magnetic ride....NPP exhaust

...If red or Laguna I will add blacked out spoiler/sideviews option

....My only lux item will be nav.......so I can find my way to Sammies house

...I want it light.....I want it nimble.....I want it fast.....

....Yeah I know the base is lighter...but the Z51 has too much value packed in for what you get

I am going to be around 63K

Me:

One (white or grey) Corvette coupe.
Automatic transmission.

$53,345.00

But the pricing will likely be higher by the time (and if) I'm looking to buy, maybe 2015?
At nearly 3300 pounds I'm going to need it to have at least 475hp to be a player on this (still awesome) car.

My configuration will be well over 70k with all things considered. Eliminating the Z51 and the associated things knocks the price down quite a bit. I need to decide if I would really miss those things. I really do want MSRC, though, so I'll probably go for it all.
