wrong, that is not how tire widths are generally written (e.g. 245/35 19). The last number is always the wheel diameter in inches. The width is the first number in millimeters.

You are definitely reaching. So new tire sizes on the base corvette is needed? They are only offering a DCT for the C7 now?

A 10" wide rim would fit a 305 tire. I have 10.5" on 315's

Nice. I think it's legit. Would have been better with a price quote!

New drive train needs more tire. Looks like the manual might be over.

Not legit for the ME, but could be the refreshed FE.
OTOH, could be GM just having some fun on a Friday to stir the pot.

Temporary unintended error in the system?

If it's a hoax, it's pretty elaborate.

Default OGM...I JUST ORDERED MY 2021 Mid-Engine C8 ZR1 !!!!

Guys(!) - my brother Chris told me about this really good Corvette dealer in Toronto that gets super early access to their allocations, and they are taking orders for the C8 right now! The ZR1 edition isn't available until model year '21, but if you get your order in now, you'll be the first to receive your ZR1! Check my build sheet below!!!!!

(I went with the upper end interior, AWD w/ ELSD's front and rear, and new QCT transmission)

It's either talk about this, however credible it may be, or sit around and play with our stick shifts.

OP, there's a guy on another thread swearing up and down that this is for a refreshed 2020 C7. Seems like if that was the case, these new options would be available for other models ie grand sport, Z06. ZR1, not just the base C7. Did the salesman offer up that this was the case?

Totally unrealistic. They’d never let you get Gray paint with a Gray interior!
