Default My TPW'S Are GONE!!!

I have les stanfords #1 and #2 cars.. #1 car Blue with a TPW of 8/15 and status code of 3300, #2 Car Yellow with a TPW of 8/22 and a status code of 3100.. Just checked today, and the TPW's are GONE.. Spoke With Kevin at the plant, he said they are running into production problems with the Z06's, and would not go into further detail.. He has no estimate of when my cars will be done!! That is not good news for people with early Z06 orders!!!

My orders still show event status at 3300, and 3100, but no TPW anymore

Early production bugs are inevitable and should be expected. Just hope it's not anything major.
I wouldn't worry too much until there are more details as to what the hold up is.

Even worse news for people without "early Z06 orders".

Thanks for the update. Please keep us informed. I would have thought that Stanfords first allocation would have already been built - has anyone taken delivery of one yet?

You'all need to spend some 'quality time' in the plant during the summer.
Long enough to follow through "pilot builds" and model changeover to full production rates.
Maybe it would be an educational experience that would scar you for life.

Default My TPW 8/22 is also GONE!

My salesperson @ Kerbeck called me today and said that no explanation was given .What ever caused this I am glad they are stopping /postponing production to get it right.

And I will display as much patience as possible

Hey, Steve, maybe they'll save them all up and deliver them at once - I'd hate for you to be the first in SoCal with an 06Z

Hi Allan , Good to here from you. I am vettless right now.
But in the mean time I leased a 6spd SSR that is a blast to drive in fact I put too many miles on it the first 3 months I have been renting a car to keep the mileage under 15k for the year

Can't wait to drive back from BG. Hey maybe we can drive back together to CA. Are you staying with Black , thats what I choose this time?

Are you doing Museum Delivery?
regards , Steve

Had Black, now have Pewter. 06Z will be Silver, just like the show car that was here in January.

I'm doing a courtesy delivery at a dealer in the Inland Empire. I just can't see myself driving back alone all that way (GF has a responsible job, not like me, so I don't think she could take off for that long).

Which dealer are you getting a courtesy delivery at?

I'm just going for the one my salesman (Rick Daniel) said was the best in So Cal to do it at.... LOL
