Paying 88,000 Dollars for my Z51 3LT
Hey guys, I'm new here (and to the Corvette world) and thought I'd share a bit of my bittersweet story here.
Went to the dealer here in Dubai yesterday to place my order and got a bit shocked. They're ONLY bringing 75 cars to the whole country and I'm number 37 on the list. They promised they'd bump me up because I know the regional marketing manager- And here's the catch: The ONLY options I can choose are exterior/interior colors and brake calipers. Thats it! They're only bringing the top of the line options and the Z51 3LT package- no chance to customize. I've ordered the midnight racing blue with red brake calipers (might change that to black or get them painted gray later) and Brownstone GT seats on the inside. BUT, now I'm confused between Kalahari & Brownstone... FML. Anyway I'm happy I'll be getting mine soon(ish) but still stings a little to be paying a 20,000+ Dollar premium. Just thought I'd share this. |
For Dubai that's probably not a bad price. It sucks you have to pay a premium at all but for limited numbers like that.

IMO:
Night race blue on 3LT Kalahari with yellow calipers on either black or silver Z51 rims will look hot!! :thumb: Or if you want to stick with red calipers, do a color override and get red interior on NRB! Good luck and post pics when it finally arrives. |

Damn that looks awesome! Thanks for posting it! They're bringing a Stingray to the Dubai Motorshow tomorrow so I'm waking up early for a change and heading out to be the first one there :thumbup: I'll post some pictures of it since the cars they bring out here need to have what they call Gulf Specs- sometimes they're minor changes sometimes they're major. |
Just saw it live for the first time at the Dubai Motorshow and I sat in it for so long that some guy had to come up to me and ask me to let someone else have a go. So I said there's a perfectly fine passenger seat right here -_- He wasn't amused. Oh and the Brownstone interior looks AWESOME.

Just got a disturbing call saying my 7 speed manual won't arrive before January 2015....... Need to decide in the next day or two and either just go with the automatic or wait 13 months. FML.

If you get your vette in Dubai before I do waiting since August, I'm going to freak! Lol

Crisis averted! I changed my order back to my original choice which was a 3LT/Z51 Cyber Gray Ext / Adrenaline Red Int / Red Calipers - they can get that to me by June/July WITH a manual gearbox. BOOYA!
