C8 CORVETTE

At one point I was really serious about LB red for my Vert but after seeing some pics of it, decided it was too dark and too brown. Looks great in bright sunshine. Under clouds it seems to lose its punch.

I'm hoping the new Silver has is a bit darker with a bit more punch to it. That's pretty much what I'm looking at now -- but who knows when?

 

There's so little information now its hard to say. And a lot depends on where in the system you are. I don't think my order has been accepted by GM yet but its submitted. Rumor has it that the Verts are being delayed until 2021 which would be like August delivery. It sort of makes sense because adding Verts to their assembly line will slow down overall production. It seems to make sense they will want to catch up with backorders of coupes as fast as they can after reopening. My guess is they will reopen sometime in May if their parts suppliers can support production also. Remember the Engine plant is in NY state and they are on a different lockdown than Kentucky. If that plant is late opening then they may delay even more.

In a normal process you cannot change after its "accepted" but given they are changing it, everything is new this time. The only exception I think is Museum delivery but I understand that's hard to change also.

The short answer is-- I don't know. Under normal circumstances once the order is accepted then you can't change it.

The weird part is when I put down the deposit I figured I would get it in March. Now -- September? October? Who knows. But if its then that really screws with my work schedule as that's my busy season. I may ask to delay it more until spring 2021.

 

Yah they rip off some posts of people for the blog. I figured this would happen.

 

The answer is YES but I posted those last night on the Vette sight after John said it was OK.

They ripped off my post but I figured they would. LB red is dead Jim.

 

Great podcast by Mike Furman at Criswell...

Most questions are answered here about how to get one from him...

I'm sure my friend that took the pix won't mind.
He'll probably be surprised to see them though.
It's the internet........whatever.

 

Well he found something super rare. I'm sure Chevy is happy.

 

He posted them on Facebook first, so I guess they're fair game.

 

Being a yellow car kinda guy, I just can't warm up to that new yellow.
There's one I see periodically around here, and I just can't deal with it.
I guess that's my problem.......

 

He spoke with the driver.
A 'young' (his words) guy that works at GM.
It is a company car.

 

These Vossen wheels look pretty cool I think. Image Unavailable, Please Login

 

Thank you for posting, I think the darker color makes the lines of the car much sharper and more formed. Awesome. Color choice confirmed!

 

When I order one it will likely be blue or orange but the ZB looks great on the car, very classy.

 

I picked LBR but not many did or the old man tan bronze color. LBR and Bronze are out for 2021 and with all the delays mine will be a 2021. At this point why would anyone want an almost 1 year old 2020 especially in August.

I think Bronze is still in. Silver is changed and LBR becomes a different candy metallic red.

 

Rumor has it the Bowling Green factory is OPENING on May 14th -- possibly bringing back the double shift they had when they shut down.

 

Already over MSRP with 5 days to go.

Im surprised someone ordering it to flip would choose the red interior and not play it safe with black
