Not sure which color stingray I want. Mostly debating between the Torch Red, Rapid Blue, and Elkhart Blue. Anyone have the Elkhart Blue on Long Island I can take a peek at? Also anyone know where I can test drive?

Pretty sure ELB has been discontinued. I believe it’s Rapid blue that will replace it.

I used this thread as reference.

So if you already have one on order you are good but not taking any additional orders on the color.

Riptide Blue is replacing ELB. Order bank for ELB ended last month and Riptide can't be ordered until Sept 5th when they switch over to building 24's.

It took 8 Months to get My 2023 C8 Z51 in Elkhart Lake Blue !!!

I love my Elkheart Lake Blue. At a recent car show I received many, many positive comments from Corvette people as well as the public. The color just glows. However, it has been discontinued. I believe the replacement is Riptide Blue. I have not seen this, but images online seem to indicate it is a few shades lighter than ELB.

Not anymore. ELB orders have ended despite MY 2023 not being done. Anyone wanting a metallic blue C8 will have to order Riptide (similar shade but a little lighter) once 24's can be ordered.

Your only choices left of the 3 you mentioned in your original post is Rapid Blue and Torch Red for 2023. Like everyone else said ELB is no longer an option to order beginning with the May order cycle. Most dealers do not allow you to test drive a Corvette and a C8 is even harder because all of them are basically sold customer orders. Maybe if they have a used one on the lot they may let you take it for a test drive.

Before I bought my ELB C8 I went to a dealer here in Florida. They had 15 or 20 pre-owned and I test drove 3 or 4 different combos. Z51, MRC Coupe and HTC. I also went to Speed Vegas and did 6 laps on the road course to make sure I was doing the right thing selling my C7 ZO6 M7 and going C8.
Happen to find a fellow Forum member selling his ELB 3LT HTC with only 1000 miles on it just a couple hours from me in Florida. Got a great deal and no waiting.

Ordering and waiting for months and months is not me.

as many have mentioned, its 100% gone. you cannot order it anymore. april ended up being the last of the available elkharts.
