Ordered 1/17
Delivered to dealer 2/13
Took delivery 2/23
After taking delivery I put on a hundred or so miles around town and then road tripped her 900+ miles round trip. All I can say is that GM hit a home run with this thing. It's truly an outstanding vehicle. A comfortable GT on the highway and a beast when called upon. I love the HUD, gauge customization and customizable driving modes. The infotainment system has been working flawlessly. The standard seats are extremely comfortable. Fit and finish is top notch. I could go on and on and the couple of "issues" I've found are hardly worth mentioning.
Today I had my 500 mile oil change (at 1100 as the dealer assured me the road trip would be no issue) and there was no sign of oil foaming. I'm now ready to go with a new supply of Mobil 1. Huge props to the entire team at Stingray Chevrolet in Plant City, FL. They are on top of all Vette issues and take care of you in the most professional manner possible.
PS I've truly been astounded by the amount of attention the car garners. I really didn't expect it. I've already lost track of the flashes, honks, thumbs up, comments etc. Not to mention the woman who begged to sit in it for a photo.

Congrats on your new C7. Due to weather in So. Calif., I have only driven it home from the dealer and to the Xpel shop for an install today. I love this car and look forward to putting some time and mileage on it.

Why did it take 10 days to get your car

from the dealer after it was delivered there? Is that typical? You're a very lucky guy---to be driving around in a nice new Vette---when I get mine, I likely won't be posting or doing anything else on the web for several days/weeks.
