looks like a good set up... you know the carbon black painted spoiler and mirrors option look damn good on a silver car with black wheels..might go with that stripe package too.. just a thought

also are the competition seats still on constraint? last i heard they were.

Thanks for the input. I found this useful spreadsheet so I'm going through all the options again now... I like your idea about the black or gray racing stripes... didn't mean to throw in the 'stinger stripe' that's not what I want.

Re seats, yes, I'm reading the same thing... timing is in line with the ragtop, which is no time soon I think. hmmm... pls let me know if you hear more.

I went with the black painted mirrors and spoiler on me and my dads cyber gray C7.



I could do with or without the mirrors but the spoiler looks great two toned on gray or silver with those black wheels.

only other aesthetic option I would say go with is the carbon interior..but you are getting 1LT and I think you need at least 2LT to option it.. to me personally the 1LT interior is a little plain and they are using real dry carbon replacement panels.. that to me is worth the 995

That does look nice. Not sure I want to pay $500 for painted calipers (no offense Mike!). 2LT is only 995? I'm curious to try out the HUD as well, so I think you're right - I'll make that jump. Great input thanks!!

Hey what do you guys think about the racing stripes for this thing? What color with silver?

http://newsonautos.com/wp-content/up...s-1280x782.jpg

Stripes look good. You can make any color work with silver, IMO. Hard to go wrong there.

we didnt do the painted ones either just black... no 2LT is like 4K then the carbon interior is 995 on top of that

1LT no carbon

carbon

thx. not sure it's going to make sense for me to put $5K into all that... this thing will prob end up as a track car down the road. also guessing that in a year I'll be able to find a carbon fiber console replacement kit...

yeah for a track car 1LT with the minimal performance Z51 and NNP makes the most sense

That carbon is sexy! I love everything about the C7 except for the tail lights.. I would definitely love to have on in the garage.

I just bought a 1:18 model of the c7 and its really starting to grow on me. Anyone know when the Configorator will be online?

2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray | Corvette C7 | Chevrolet

You can at least config the color of the car and rims.

Black is beautiful in the case of the vette.:tup:

The spreadsheet I posted earlier is as good a config as you're going to find right now.

I've settled on a config, but haven't pulled the trigger yet. Interesting the dealers I've talked with are not hounding me on the phone. I told them I wanted to pay under MSRP - they both laughed! :)

Just.... yuck! :barf:


The lines are all wrong.

The rims are ugly.

The ***-end is gross, almost looks like a CTS-V Coupe ***-end with it being so ginormous and up in the air.

It kind of looks like someone different designed each profile of the car. I like most of it though minus the rear end, that is just horrible. At the same time I hated the 370z when it first came out as well. I ended up with two of them at one point :icon17:

Honestly, I don't really like any angle of this new Vette, but that's me. I really like the C6 and this just took the sharp angles too far.

As for the Z, I fell in love with it from every angle when I first saw it. Which I normally don't do (unless it's an exotic of course :p).

Maybe it's just the sharp angles/edges of the new Vette? I dunno.

That is how a felt about the 370, it was to different from the 350 that I loved so much. The more I saw the 370 in person the more I liked it. I hope the same holds true for this Vette for me.

Love the way it looks, but want to see if they do a widebody like the c6 z06

I hope they do I love the C6 Z06!!!

Ya I agree, its as if they added lines just for the sake of adding lines.

Have you tried Kerbeck?

Can't compare the z to the vette. The z is a woman with nice smooth perfect rear curves in the hips and bun. The vette is a an American alpha male whale :tup: ......but I love both if I had the money ill have both in my garage!

Well I finally saw one of these in person over the weekend. It was Blue and I fell in love with it. I came out of the grocery store and it was parked as far away as possible but it caught my eye right away. I seen the tail lights come on and sprinted to my car to try and catch the guy.

It was to late to ask for a tour but I was able to run him down on the road in time to see him make a Uturn and come right back at me. I going to make a trip to the dealer and try to test drive one of these puppies.

Probably a year or two away from even thinking of buying though because I would want the best packages and I can't afford it right now.

I traded in my cammed out zo6 for my z a month ago.

Miss the power but really love my nismo!!

Saw two in person Saturday.

I still do not like them. They looked a little better than what I saw in pictures, but I still cannot accept them as a true Corvette.

:yum: That is exactly what I would want.

Hey man I understand but to me it was night and day, pictures vs seeing it in person. The only car that is just as bad in my eyes is a R35. I cant stand pictures of them but when your in the cars presence it is different.

I just thought I would share my rather quick opinion change. It onyl took me seeing and hearing it once :icon17:

Yeah, I saw and heard them in person and they may sound and feel nice, but they don't look the part. That's a deal breaker for me.

Then again, I know people (like you said...) that don't like the GTR, Enzo, etc.

I saw a red one for the first time Fri. It was heading towards me and at first I thought it was a Ferrari California. But then it turned and passed in front me. Looks pretty good!

i had one pass me last night also. Red. Looks soooo good in person.

I'm not the biggest fan of it's looks even though I don't think it's all out ugly. To me it's ok looking. Seen it in person on the roads as a pre-production model in white then seen a production model in red.
One thing I do know is... As soon as Hertz gets a batch of these. I'm holding one down for a week.:driving:

:iagree: 100%

The car don't give justice on paper but in real life it's one of a hell super car killer! Like a model of Victoria Secret in your room ready too....

Anyone on here have one yet?

It looks great in person with the Blue and Black.
I'd still wait for the widebody Z06 version though... that's going to look so mean.

But vs. the C6 base... this thing blows it out of the water.

Spotted one for the first time in person this morning. Looked pretty good. The rear end looks really busy, but not it a bad way. Definitely a head turner.

Yummy
