You know ... I never really thought too much of that Carlisle Blue, but this photo sure does look nice to me.

And those new silver "Cup" wheels look perfect with that car. I personally like Comp Gray, but the silver is what that car really needs.

I like this car!

(don't much like the blue calipers though ... at least not on that car)

Those "Cup" wheels look awesome. And, after 16 months now of owning and polishing the "billion spoke" chromies that came on my ZR1, I can truly appreciate the ease of maintenance with the "Cups". That CB on a ZR1 is truly a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Congrats on the order! I believe the factory is still running a quality hold which means they don't ship as soon as they are built. There is usually a 7-14 day hold before they ship. Sorry to make you wait longer but didn't want you to wonder why it didn't ship by the end of the week!

I would love to know your source for this misinformation. It is 100%, absolute B.S. Unless a car is one of the "less-than-a-handful-out-of-100" that are chosen for a random quality check, it will ship as soon as the trucking company has a full load of Corvettes going to his general area. That means it could go out a day or two after it comes off the line or later, depending on how long it takes to put together a complete load.

This "14-day quality hold" thing has been falsely mentioned here before; I'd really like to know how these things get started.
