Not so fast....Well Well Well this could be the give away that next years cars are going to have a different motor in them. In 2013 my C6 Convertible also had its engine sourced from a Mexican truck engine plant. The reason for this I was told was the US plant was re tooling for the C7 motor change over so they moved production of the soon to be discontinued engine to Mexico for the 2013 model year so the US plant could change over for the new LT1 C7 motor. This could be the give away that a new base motor is on its way for 2018. Close to 500 horsies in 2018 ?? That's what I'm thinking.

It hard to believe that GM could make a mistake on the window sticker when this information is supposed to be verified. GM has no problem listing the 2017 price increases like the 3LT going for $9745.00 and you know this information is correct.

It's not a mistake read post 67. Besides I opened the hood on my new Grand Sport the other day and I could smell tacos!

GrandC7...that made me chuckle a little. 
But for the doubters, consider this... There aren't any higher Corvette information sources available to me than the ones that provide me with information when they are permitted to do so. These men are also my friends and have never lied to me about one single thing. When they can't answer my questions, they simply do not respond. In other words, they have no reason to lie to me or mislead me. The error has been discovered and corrected and you'll see that reflected on window stickers printed after the correction was made.

Just spoke to my brother... He asked the question the docent said USA Tonawanda. Then he asked why the stickers say made in Mexico... he said well I guess that's where there made.
I agree its a typo... phew....
Ok on to another hot topic: What is the best type of water to use for washing our cars?
Tap, distilled, soft or de-ionized?
