Default Ordered mine!

I ordered mine....expected delivery: February 2015. I'm really jazzed. I get the first used one my dealer gets in....hopefully it's red with black interior.... I did ask if they could swap out the Camaro tail lights for some Corvette looking ones. He's looking into that but he said he thinks that's not an option this year...

Can someone post a link to the sales brochure PDF? Also, I've seen mention of a color configurator on an offical site. I am unable to find it at the new Corvette site that went live today. Can someone also provide a link to that.

I actually like the bold break from the past and the modern interpretation of the C7. I have a 2012 GS Centenntial Vert so it will be a few years until the wife even allows me to mention a new C7 ;-)

When GM expands their optional headlights to optional tail lights,
I'll go outside and look for flying pigs.

Hey Bill, good for you. I also pre ordered with Mike. I am hoping to get Museum delivery and drive back to Montana. I see no issue getting in line early, half the fun is the anticipation. I have had no problems with any of my first year production Corvettes C5, C6, or C6 Z06.

Not trying to be a stick in the mud, and guess it really doesn't matter in the long run, but the OP didn't order a Corvette. He's on a list to order the car from criswell and I guess fairly high on the list when ordering becomes available.
Thread title is not really correct.

Does that cover it for you?
Same thing they did with the ZL1 and it worked out real well for those Camaro5 guys. If I had the bucks, I would be right there with you...dang, it's a tough world for a poor man!

The exterior color configurator is at http://www.chevrolet.com/new-2014-corvette/

Go To SPECS at the bottom. There are two small squares below the picture of the car. Click on the wheel to see different wheel choices. Click on the colored box to see color options. Click again to hide the choices so you can see different angles.

I am not aware of any configurator that shows you the different roof panel options or the interior color/trim options.

The sales brochure with the option groups is listed in this post: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/1582827296-post30.html

The brochure lists the interior color choices as "Jet Black, Adrenaline Red, Kalahari, Gray, and Brownstone."

The buyer always has the choice to cancel the order and get back any deposit if one was given. Sometimes, the actual numbers don't come until mid-July. How do I know? I did it. Try asking or ordering.

Congrats - did the same thing with my '05 Vert...numerous delays associated with production of the C6 Convertibles for a sundry of reasons... but eventually she rolled down the assembly line on March 7, 2005. Exciting times ahead

They are very large Corvette dealer. The nice thing is if you change your mind before the actual order they refund 100%. I look forward to having my car the first month they are delivered.the most important thing is they sell at MSRP.

I thought I read somewhere that you could not place an order before Jan. 20? Apparently Not?

Way to go Bill!

I want to see the vert 1st then decide if it's a coupe or convertible; then I'll ad the Callaway package to it! Got a JSB Callaway vert now and just love it but the styling of the C7 is just, well, out of this world, gotta have it ASAP!
It's called Vette Fever-LOL.
