What trim level is this? Thats the exact interior I am hoping for. When I build it out, I cant tell if what I am choosing has the red stitching on the interior. I am choosing the red seat belts to break up the interior color (all black) but I would LOVE it if I can get that red stitching as well.

I got the natural interior with two-tone seats and natural belts. It has the suede steering wheel and suede seat inserts but I did not order those. The dealer made an error when he entered the order. I can live with it! Because it is posted on their website under new inventory he has fielded many calls trying to buy it. One guy offered $30K over the MSRP. I paid MSRP minus $500 for it. They have not done the PDI yet so the seats are still wrapped. First photo is from the Chevy site and the second is actual.

That's great! Hopefully production will continue unabated and your car arrives soon.

Congrats. I have a feeling that it's going to be quite a while before I even see a C8 in person!!!

As everyone here is well aware - C8's are sold out nationwide and used are approaching 2x sticker. So, we are hunkering down for the long haul. Our car will be a 2021. I'll update this thread as we move thru the phases ( if anyone cares )

In addition to being my first car order - this will be my first automatic Corvette - but I am keeping the C7 - so I think I will be ok. (first world problems i'm sure)

Went with ZBM/3LT/Z51/MagRide/SkyCoolGrey-2tone and a stripe
well - here we go!
I really like the bronze. Bold choice! I'm kinda curious how the black stripes on the black roof will work out. Could be really cool.

well - small steps! got a 1100-Preliminary Order accepted 2 page printout from (i assume) the GM ordering system (via Reggie).
Very excited - especially as I start to see more pics of ZBM. Still waiting to see one in real life. A friend of mine went to Carlisle and sent me a pic of one from there......(the bastard)>

I like the color of your C7 a lot more than that C8 you ordered.

They had that beautiful Rally Green for the 2020 Camaro but it lasted only that one year. It was a nice complex color, dark in the shade, lighter in the sun, just perfect really. Al O. bought a convertible SS in that green, but I guess not enough customers.
