Default My new C7 Premier Edition

I'd say look out for me driving around the GTA in this, but it's going into storage pretty much until April. I own a Saturn Sky Redline which I call a baby vette now, I'll miss the drop top, but I love the extra space and the look of the C7.

This forum has been a great resource while I was shopping for this thing.
I wonder how many Premier's are allotted for Canada, does anyone know?

Thank you!

When I built mine out, it was very similar to the Premier Edition. When I got a chance to get one of these I jumped on it.

It came with two roofs, the luggage, the special rims, and some extra odds and ends.

I have enough luggage, I could have done without, and the extra roof, but I'm not complaining by any means!

Other than "Base Car" and "Z51" options, I didn't know about the Premier Edition"

What does it consist of??

Very Nice BTW...

Very nice. Congrats. Love the colour combo also. I didn't think any of the Premieres were alotted to Canada. Cool!

Just 500 examples of the Premiere Edition C7 will be built in total, with all being top-spec 3LT models and all wearing this Laguna Blue Tintcoat paint over Brownstone suede interiors. Other appearance upgrades for the Premiere Edition include suede and carbon fiber interior trims, a visible carbon fiber roof, hood stripe, "Stingray" kickplates and wheel caps and, wait for it... a matching set of Stingray luggage from Thule. It's every dude's dream: a Corvette with matching luggage.

Functionally, the Premiere Edition will be blessed with the Z51 performance package, as well as Chevy's trick Magnetic Selective Ride Control. Those, along with the car's impressive 6.2-liter, 450-horsepower LT1 V8, should make this special edition as formidable as it will be collectable.

Speaking of, anyone heard from Romeo and where this one might be held in 2014? Never too early to start planning.

Here's another post on the Premier Edition - I didn't know it but the XM radio gets extended from 3 months to 12 and I forgot there is a cargo cover as well.

I was able to get the dealer to reduce the finance rate, as well as throw in the C7 Car Cover and a few other items.

Only been taking it out here and there when it's over 4 degrees (recommended from manufacturer on the tires).

Here's some pictures around the GTA.
