How would you spec the 2020 Corvette?

There are a bunch of great colors out  there, but I always go with white. With the options known thus far, here is how I’d do it.

!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

Z51 for performance, carbon flash on all the trim to tone down on the rear end and mirrors, natural leather with black contrasts, competition seats.

What would your 2020 Vette look like?

Yellow, orange, or blue, with a red interior and the clear roof. I hope they will offer a package where you get both the glass roof and the body color roof (they offer this on the outgoi ng C7)

Also, white cars with white wheels are awesome

How'd you spec that wing?

Exterior/Accents, High-Wing Spoiler

Is it a wing or a spoiler?

I start with getting rid of the black aero piece near the  top of the door.  Until aftermarket Lambo door conversion kits are made a available, I expect many injuries entering/exiting the vehicle.

I thought I saw a clear roof option along with carbon.

Rapid blue, the dotted tan interior, silver tridents, yellow brakes. No Z51 because I hate that spoiler.

I would put a set of these on the car in either white or a champagne/light gold.

It is indeed. And probably more than one will be specd exactly like that

God, I hope. It’s so dumb that it’s perfection.

I think your comment effected my choices. Rapid Blue looks to be nearly the same color. You could have matchIng  MR cars!

I tried to stay away from the more garish combinations and go for something that I think is rather tasteful - Zeus Bronze, Pewter wheels, black calipers, Z51 package (although I could do without the spoiler - factory delete perhaps?), body color accents and carbon fiber interior trim. I do wish that the top of the dash could be black without having to go for the full two-tone interior; based on previous experience with a couple of E34s, both with beige interiors, the lighter color dash top will reflect in the window and be a distraction.

I haven't explored that ceramic, but I love how you brought that color inside with restraint.  Looks perfect!

Interesting how you put  the engine back in the front.

BMW learned their lesson about light colors on the top of the dash. My beige interior e90 has black on the top of the dash.

My ‘89 has  the black top , and when the decontented the car and starting charging for formerly standard equipment, like on my friend’s ‘92, they went to the single color. Although it looked nice, it didn’t work well, and thankfully they went back to something functional rather than pretty. Kind of hard to be “The Ultimate Driving Machine” if you can’t see clearly out the damn windsheild. Considering all the various SUVs and softened cars they’ve been putting out lately it would not surprise me in the least of they went back to style over substance.

I haven’t looked at BMWs in years because I’m one of those annoying people that thinks that they’ve gone considerably downhill after about 2003 and don’t want to be associated with the m arque any longer.

It’s funny you mention that because I encountered a strange flaw in the configurator - as I was trying to do a configuration on my iPad I could see that someone on a computer, judging by the mouse pointer, was working on the same thing. We were both in the same session, cancelling out each other’s work...

1LT in Zeus Bron ze with the Z51 pack, body-colour exterior accents and the Sky Cool Grey interior. Budget-conscious, subtle and high-performance.

Never in a million years did I think I’d be drooling over a Corvette. And yet here we are...

Blue/tan, grey stripes. Tan seat belts to remind me of my Ford Probe. Wheels would be swapped out for something that looks better

If I can persuade my wife to let me get another car, I may steal  your build.  It's perfect.

I dig that color. I’m between that and orange. I really wish the color palette was less old-man-ish. That ceramic white ash or whatever they’re calling it is the best, but I would have a hard time getting a white car.

I’d go Z51 with either the ceramic white or this orange. I do like adding the aggressive blacked out mirrors and accents with a contrasting paint color / wing. Sideblade in body - always.

If you look at the URL, you’ll see “east” or “west”. They’re trying to load balance and failing. Try replacing it in the URL and see if it wants to work.

Arctic White Z51, carbon grille trim, body colored side trim, carbon mirrors. Two-tone grey interior and seats. (could go solid-gray on the seats, either way works), silver and machined wheels with sterling silver stripes, no chevrons. black rocker panels, no extra aero.

I would then get the side blades wrapped in the same silver as the stripes and wheel accent color.... and maybe even get a bit of white to enclose the bottom of the grille, above the front spoiler.

If it were possible, I would order a black roof package... windshield header, and the roof above the engine cover glass blacked out, and the tinted transparent targa panel.. not sure if I would keep the silver stripes over the blackout, or not have the stripes on the roof.

Without the roof blackout, the transparent roof panel needs a dark paint color. stripes across the roof interrupting the canopy look always irk me, which is why with an OE white or light colored car, I would go with the body-colored roof panel.

I wouldn’t mind red stitching on the interior, as well, to match the dark red brake calipers, and the red engine cover under the rear glass. I wouldn’t mind some red accents in the interior, but the red interior options just seem too much.

I would seriously consider silver or white painted headlight housings, too... like C6 used to have.

The theme is to keep the eye moving along the length of the car, not interrupting and breaking up the form with lots of individual part contrasts.

Silver accents on white, with just the right amount of specifically applied blackout, and just a splash of an accent color, like red, makes a clean, technical, and modern look. I could see doing it with the Ceramic Grey, depending on how the color ACTUALLY looks in reality, not just a rendering, or a pearlescent white, if they were to offer it.

For a different direction... instead of technological white and silver ... to go with natural tones, and darker colors... the Bronze Bomber...

Zeus Bronze, Pewter wheels, natural leather two tone interior, dark red brakes and red engine cover. carbon flash stripes and exposed carbon fiber trim pieces, transparent roof panel. Still would prefer the roof blackout option. They are probably reserving it for Z0[x ], ZR1, Grand Sport, or something to up-sell.

Who would have thought... a brown supercar... (at least by supercar standards of not all that many years ago...)

Looked great in white on stage.

oo oh - that white is nice. I’ve been spec’ing them in that bright sky blue and the orange, but that white is really nice - kind of 458 spider-esque. It makes the taillights looks better too.

Making the spoiler black really helps the rear out.
