It was by all accounts a great year for Corvette.

I wish I could find the old thread from a year ago when people predicted that Atomic Orange would not be popular enough to last more than one model year. These people thought it would only be about 5% of production, which would mean GM would probably drop it. I predicted it would be 8-10% of production. Told ya so!

It's amazing what I learn every year when this list comes out. I did not know that Z06's did not come with HUD. DOH!

Good info.

Thanks for the post!

interesting that Black & LMB are more popular in coupe than vert while AO and Monty Red are more popular in vert, all other colors are evenly split

only 14% of buyers bought manual transmission with Z51, you could never guess that from the forum

looks like people who buy verts tend to get them loaded

VET4LES

Thanks Rick, once again the two REDS combined are the most popular color.

Dicecal

Black by itself WAS the most popular color!

Wonder why they still list the Automatic transmission as a 4 speed?

"MX0 Four-speed Automatic Transmission"

And still the fastest

Thanks Rick, I always look forward to those stats.

Good year, but what about the over 6000 unsold Vettes ? (or I presume them unsold when I see them on the Jeff Harrdy site). How does this number compare to this time of year with 05s and 06s previously ?

The most interesting stat for me was to find out the fact that the Z06 was the most popular body style for Canadian Corvettes! So if you own a 2007 Z06 up here, it's more common than a 2007 coupe or a 2007 vert!

They produced 860 cars for Canada, and 318 were Z06s, 286 were coupes and 256 were verts.

That's because black is worth .3 in the quarter mile...

The Z-51 stick figures are really surprising. It looks like the car has moved to the GT--auto tranny, non-performance suspension, side of the ledger rather than sports car. But, that's been happening for a long time. Lots of Z-06s sold, too. I still think that car will lose its
"market rip-off" soon--maybe this year with the base picking up some hp. For $70K it would be a great deal. Not so much at $85.

I think you took that statistic out of context. Six speed Z51's are 14% of all Corvettes built. But of all Z51's built, 40% of them had the six speed manual.

Thanks for posting that. Interesting numbers.

black most popular...interesting
atomic orange.......glad i got that color since "only" 9% will maybe stand out a little more...

too bad about white...white with a bright red interior nice

i didn't know z06 didn't have hud either(guess i can never catch one to notice)

..more than 1/2 auto......
