    I would not order it anyway but a lot of Ferrari's have tan colored dashes and I've never heard it be a big problem.

    For me, I don't care for it but its not the reflection that would stop me. Black also reflects, just not as much.

    My biggest issue is I ordered the 3LT in the C7 and was completely disappointed in the leather quality and appearance. So, I need some convincing before spending the extra money

    Over at the Vette forum there are still many dealers who have 2020 allocations and are selling at MSRP.

    We will know on 10-3-19

    Convertible numbers have generally been under 15% of Vette sales. IMO, Chevy wants to boost this number because its a much higher % on Ferrari and McLaren.

    Wonder at what speed the "airbrake" tears off? Hopefully there is an electrical over-ride to prevent this kind of stunt.

    So, they say it can go up while you drive up to 30 MPH -- but what if you're heading into a 20 MPH headwind?

    Crisswell in Maryland Mike Furman says he has allocation available. Ask for Mike Furman as he is a straightshooter. Second largest allocation in USA. MSRP

    Mayor, I’d go with the lighter colored spec but get the top in black. Other than that looks great.

    I think he is a good bet and very responsive to inquiries and customers. He has a big rep to protect on vette forum so he is a straight shooter. I just bought/ordered local just to make life easy...no shipping. I see-sawed about buying from Mike Furman and doing a museum delivery and driving the C8 home doing a road trip. I really should have done that but I guess I can't commit.

    I see there is no way to order the nice interior without a bunch of electronic safety and "convenience" crap.
