9/14 for me too.

This wait is killing me. I need some sort of addiction or natural disaster; simply has a nice distraction. Dealer says at least 3 weeks after it is built. Jeezus. My blood pressure is already toast. I can't sleep well. (that's for real).

Then I have to see this stuff:


Now I'm screwed and will be picking up some advil PM on the drive home.

I orderd on 8/18. TPW of 9/14. What did I order:?

- Manual. Duh
- z51. Duh
- Coupe. Duh
- 2LT. Duh
- PDR, dual roof, machined wheels, magnetic ride, racing stripes, white.

The 'duhs' are jokes. I could afford a 3LT (barely), but couldn't bring myself to spend on the markup, particularly with an all black interior. Had to be a manual, I don't the wife touching it.

Mines being built on the 10th, finished on the 11th. We're doing the buyers tour so they get the info ahead of time to let us trip plan.

Edit, yes I'm doing museum delivery too then trekking back to CA.

working on the theory that cars are grouped together by color.

Those that have buyers tour already scheduled... what color?

Nice, congrats! Mines a Long Beach Red, so I'm not too sure about the color batch theory, I guess I'll learn more next week.

There are a few of us doing the buyers tour. Our info is coming from the museum folks. I thought Chevy chat might have it early too, but I'm beginning to think they won't get it until the event code changes to 3800.

I wish it could too for your sake. I can't wait to see see mine built. Then I'll be going nuts waiting for delivery.

I remember on my C6 build you could get on the web cameras and see the cars being built that day, or any day. Do they still have that? Is there a link?
