I bought my new C7 in 2016. I really wanted the interior to be all one color. Most options offered the seats the color you wanted but most of the door panels and the dash were all black. That year they offered the "Spice Red option", which I bought. The door panels and dash were also red. My exterior color is Long Beach Red which is very close to the Spice Red color. Today the option is called "Dipped". I was wondering how many 2016 C7's were sold with the "Spice Red option". Is there any data on cars sold and the option they came with?

OK,I did a little digging on the internet and found this video of the 2016 NCM Bash. Data on the breakdown of all the options and combinations sold are presented. The data information part starts at 1:00 minutes and finishes at 5:31 minutes. Some of the information I learned. There were 37,048 C7 made in 2016. 1% (370) had Spice Red interiors. 8% (2,163) were painted Long Beach Red. My car is a Z06. Only 79 cars built were Z06's with Long Beach Red exterior and Spice Red interior.

I had a 2016 Z06 with Spice Red plus LBR and it was awesome appearance! I have a printout I downloaded somewhere that shows only 127 of the 11,543 Z06 were Spice Red along with only 771 in LBR. So, the two combined is pretty rare overall for sure. The Spice Red also includes the upgraded Z06 wheels in beautiful Pearl Nickel finish, which don't seem to have the problems with cracking found in other Z06 wheels of this era. Mine was 7MT so even more rare I am sure. Great car but the power was almost too much really. Don't think I ever got to WOT!
