WOW.....47% bought 3LT / 3LZ. I expected this to be much lower.

Standard manual (RPO MEP) is without Z51. Performance manual (RPO MEL) is with Z51. Gear ratios are different.

I think GM did, too. I remember hearing Harlan Charles say at the 2013 bash that 2LT was expected to be the highest volume PEG.

Cool link. Thanks.

Ours is 1 out of 3,590 Torch Red, not to rare.

I can confirm that mine is one of 550. #125 to be exact.

I'm pretty sure that it's one of two #125s.

Fascinating.
It's fun to try to dissect the various combo's.

I was going nuts trying to find a 2015 arctic white convertible with kalahari leather and silver wheels on AutoTrader. Finally gave up, and custom ordered at the end of March, and have waited 13 loooong weeks and car still hasn't arrived.

But after seeing the metrics: only 4830 convertibles -> 1872 with 2LT package -> 892 arctic white -> 797 with silver wheels -> 344 with kalahari leather -> + factor in 8 speed auto + black top = maybe 90 or so that were produced this way.
Finding the exact car sitting unsold on a dealer lot would have been practically impossible.

My dealer talked me out of getting the blue top, but that would have really made my exact combination maybe 1 of 10 in the world (or less)!

Wow- just noticed the % of cars ordered with NPP exhaust....90%!

They might as well just go ahead and make it standard equipment.

over 1800 people who bought Z51's like them a lot

My 2014 is a CRT ZF1 with exposed carbon roof (transparent too) black wheels, carbon flash mirrors and spoiler. With carbon flash full length stripes.

Dave@Ciocca

Well, it is standard on all Z51 and Z06 so you would have to look at the base Stingray sales vs available NPP.

It still comes in at 75% of non-Z51/non-Z06 orders so it's still pretty high!

The rarity of Corvette C7 2014MY or 2015MY has to be considered quite subjective.

I don't find any of these cars rare, especially with 35,000 (+-) being produced in 2014 and 2015.

Many of the C7's were custom ordered with individual tastes incorporated into the order.

What you can consider with the 2014 & 2015 MY is who would buy my C7 with the color combinations you have choosen or the options that you have choosen.

In order to be rare, I suspect you would have to hold on to the C7 for 40 to 50 years.

For many if selling in the future via a private sale, each owner will need to find a buyer who likes the options, the color and the interior of your C7, not even mentioning mileage that might be on the car.

I seriously doubt that any dealership will consider your C7 or mine rare when conducting a trade-in. They will simply look at the condition of the car, mileage, whether it's a Stingray, Stingray Z51, or Z06 and determine a value.

It is doubtful that any dealer will try to determine, how many C7's where produced in any one color, with a host of options, whether it be stripes, a Z06 grille installed in a Stingray etc. and determine a value.

These sales figure presented are just sales figures and have no bearing on rarity of the vehicle.

Yes, you may have a one of a kind, or a limited C7 of a kind, but that does not make is a "rare" Corvette by any means.

While we as individual C7 owners want to think our C7 may be rare, ask yourself the question, "is my C7 really a rare vehicle?"

In your own mind probably yes, in the dealerships mind as a future trade-in, very doubtful.

Funny, it has fleet at the bottom, I was told by gm that corvettes aren't elible for fleet discount

Perhaps not only 1 (my) car but certainly not very many with the combo I purchased!
Note if you add more or low percentage options this approach can well yield no cars, which is obviously wrong! But for the larger percentages probably not a bad estimate.

jsmbluecar

I have the rarest exterior color (NRB) with the rarest interior color (Twilight Blue) on a Z07 car that was museum delivery. I have pretty much all the options like the data recorder/nav etc.

I'm pretty sure it's a rare combination. This car gets just unbelievable amounts of attention.

Rave

My '15 is probably one of the most rare... almost no mods!

C8Jake

no thanks

vdavenp802

I'm one of 42....

meyerweb

I don't think any of use believe our cars are rare in the sense that a LaFerrari or 250 GTO is "rare." We're just enjoying the relative rarity of a particular color or set of options.

Is my DSOM, 7 MT 'vert "Rare"? No, not really. But with only about 40 of that combination made, it's pretty uncommon, and I'm not likely to run into another one just like it.

nmvettec7

I think your statement above is the best way to approach the topic of "How rare is your Corvette C7".

I am sure the original poster who is a major Corvette sales dealership would have to agree these cars are not considered "rare" due to the sales figures that he posted.

It is great information, a great converation starter that provides many C7 owners some bragging rights that their specific C7 may be more of a "one of a kind" C7 rather than a "rare" Corvette.
