Depends on the person… I had a white car with a light beige interior that looked new after almost 10 years and ~ 23K miles

I initially wanted the lighter grey a interior, but I was concerned my 2022 Camaro build wouldn’t be picked up, so I grabbed a in stock car w/ the standard dark interior. Worked out in the end, but still really like the open airy look of the lighter color scheme.

OP, congrats on the new car… looks great!

Welcome to the Sharkskin club. Outside of black, I feel Sharkskin is the second best color for the LT1. I prefer the RS package but what I really like about your non RS is the absence of chrome inserts on the lower front grill. I'd love to remove mine, but how? Yours has sparked a renewed interest in removing them

Enjoy and congrats.

Thank you for posting some interior pics. I think it looks great. My 2012 1SS had the gray cloth interior also, though there were black panels on the sides of the seats. I liked them and had no problem keeping them clean. The lighter color definitely opens up the interior. Excellent choice!

Nice! I got my LT1 at Fairey chevy in Orangeburg S.C

Congrats. Beautiful car.

I ordered my LT1 on March 17th. Just got a text today that my order is being moved to 2024 production.

Put a few miles on yours for me.

Here in CA, no dealer sticks their badge on the rear. A license plate frame is all they get away with. I know you removed it. If they tried that with me, I would demand they pay me every month for the advertising. I told my dealer (too late) to not install a front license plate frame. They did anyway, and I had to remove it, since it is just wrong to stick a front plate on a sportcar. Congrats on your beautiful LT1!

Another +++ for Donahoo in Fort Payne, I was panicking about the front plate (I do not need one) and asked if they installed it, I was told "they leave that up to the customer" and no stickers or anything like that.

Black LT1 for me. Sharkskin would have been a possible second choice but hadn't seen it in the wild when I ordered mine.

Thank you. Ordered it last May and took delivery in October. Went to breakfast this morning and when I pulled back in the driveway I was at 173 miles total. Absolutely love it.

You're welcome! I bought mine on April 21st from dealer stock. I absolutely love it. That NPP exhaust never ever gets old

Looks great. Gotta drive it more though! I took delivery in September and I'm at about 2,100 miles.

Ordered my LT-1 6spd, dual mode, Recaros, RS Vert 3 weeks ago. Pretty certain it'll get pushed to a 2024(hopefully).
I dig the LT-1 fender script; having grown up with 70-72 LT-1 Vettes and 70-72 Z-28s( very different ,solid lifter mill). And my all time favorite, the 1970 Yenko Deuce Nova which I kick myself to this day for not buying new. A local dealer, Wallace Chevrolet Linden, NJ) had three that sat unsold for the longest time. Today, worth 120-150K.
Back to my yet to be built Camaro, I went with the Recaros not so much for their racing attributes, but because the interior looks richer (IMO) with them. I just hope they are as height adjustable as the stock seats.
Counting the days to this old guy is back in a performance car !
