While the all-new 2014 Corvette C7 won’t launch until the late summer of 2013, Corvette Blogger got its hands on the order guide for the upcoming sports car, which should offer some consolation to hold us over until we can get behind its wheel.
There are really two items of interest presented in the guide: the base Stingray coupe is model “1YY07”, while the Stingray coupe equipped with the Z51 Performance Package is 1YX07. The ordering guide only presents information for the Corvette C7 coupe, since the Convertible will launch by the end of 2013.
At this point, we’re still missing the C7’s price, which should be announced before the National Corvette Museum’s Bash Event on April 25, along with the car’s final specifications, including finalized power, fuel economy, and weight figures.
The Corvette C7 Stingray Coupe will initially be available from 900 dealerships in the United States based on allocation procedures first established in 2012.

I hope those power figures is closer to 480 bhp and 475 lb-ft. What do you think of these final output estimates Alex, does it seems reasonable?
@Valiance I’m not sure that is reasonable for the stock C7. But I’m sure a handheld tuner will help achieve those numbers… At a sufficient fuel economy loss.
I believe if you look at past generations its at least a 40-50 hp increase over the C6 and will come very close to the current Z06 in performance numbers. Add some mods and the current Z is a car of the past. We shall soon find out.
Why is the visible carbon fiber roof option $2,000 more than the standard, painted carbon fiber roof? Are we paying extra to have them leave the paint off?
The way I see it is that it’s like wood trim (molding, quarter round, crown, etc.). On the stuff that’s intended to be painted by the builder or homeowner, you’ll see joints and other imperfections – they’re going to be painted over. The piece of crown that is “stain quality” is all one piece and higher quality… it has to be because it’s going to show through the stain.
I think that for the fiber roofs that are going to be painted… the construction process is more concerned with meeting the right dimensions and any waves, gaps, bubbles etc can be finished and painted over.
The fiber roofs that will be seen have to be near perfect.
