I picked up this machine earlier this month. 2LT, HTC, front lift, Z51 pkg. This car is awesome. Enjoyed a wonderful dinner in BG at Anna's Greek Restaurant. Taking the back roads home to West Michigan from the NCM was a terrific ride - my face started getting sore from smiling!!!

I’m not really sure. It seems too early to discontinue colors with 3.5 months left of 2023 production. I know the rumors are out there but for now I’m thinking that’s all it is. The two colors rumored to be gone already are colors that have been announced to be replaced for 2024. Hopefully they both last through the summer. You’ll know when you place your order.

Mu speculation is they used up their supply of ELB paint and being it is being replaced chose to not procure any more for MY23.

Unfortunately it's true. I received the same call Thursday. My second choice also gone. It's now forced me into a 2024/ rip tide blue

I’m sorry to hear this. Also sad. It’s been my choice for when my Z06 allocation comes up (I’m next up at my dealer). I guess I have to go to plan B, Torch Red.

Elk Heart Lake Blue is STUNNING! We get a lot of positive comments. While most Vettes are ordered in one of the traditional colors, either of the two reds, black or white, the ELB is a bit different and receives many, many compliments. So sad to have this discontinued. However, for those of us lucky to own one it is a classic!
