congrats:

just remember an order # does not mean much - you are looking for code 2000 on his workbench order....he can pull that report for you 10 times a day if he wants...until it says 2000 in the red circle, you really have nothing, a car is not being built for you. And notice how my name is on it, not the dealer name:

Do you have any other options on your order that are on constraint besides the Z51? See the latest constraints: Constraints - September 25 for TPW of November 3.

Mine was build 1 year ago today.

I took delivery at the museum October 18 and drove it 1330 miles back to Austin, Texas with a side trip to Tail of the Dragon. Other than minor software updates, it's been trouble free.

Really depends on how many allocations your dealer has and how many people are in front of you at that dealership. I'm happy I went with Les Stanford. Its been about 6 weeks and my car is getting built this week. I am going to write a thorough thread about my experience with the whole ordering thing and courtesy delivery experience when its all said and done.

Congratulations and you have my sympathy. You see, I know what it's like to have to wait for a 2015 Laguna Blue 2LT coupe with manual transmission since I just went through the exact same wait myself. It's grueling but as the pics below attest, it's well worth it! Congrats again.

I was told that he has plenty of allocations. There were 4 orders in front of me at that time. Not sure how long it should take but am considering placing my order with someone else. The real bummer is I just sold my C6 on Friday. Now I'm vette less. I didn't even order Z51 package and the only constraint now is the CF color surround roof. I might change my mind now and add the Z51 with the mag ride now.

Check in weekly with Customer Care and get status updates, it's fun as your order progresses. Hope it all goes smoothly for your order. As said, 2000 first.
