Its been a hassle, plus I don't know all the options too well and really would like to order the vehicle exactly like I want it. I have a bunch of question on what options and combinations can be had, did your dealer walk you through the order option by option? BTW if you don't mind what was the cost of your GS as optioned? Thanks in advance

I hope yours is one of the first GS's to be built and delivered, and with Mike Furman supporting you, I am sure it will be.

Looking forward to seeing the arrival pics and your personal review of the GS.

When it came to filing an insurance claim for the loss, how much of the cost and expense of the mods that you did was recoverable via the insurance claim?

Many of us put more money into the C7's after getting them. It would be nice to know that if the car was totalled out, what amount of recovery would there be from the insurance and what is their policy on recovery of aftermarket modifications to these cars or any car?

Perhaps you can educate us.

Each Corvette on the policy is insured with an "agreed value" set by myself and the insurance company. During the first year of coverage, one can set the agreed value at the purchase price. As mods are added, the value of the car and the replacement cost of the mods can be calculated to increase the agreed value. Of course, all mods have the be surrendered to the insurance company, but my agreed value was sufficient to cover the value of the Corvette at the time of loss plus the mods that I had done. Another nice benefit in my American Modern policy is their inflation guard, which extends an additional 2% of the agreed value per quarter up to 6% total through the policy year. Because I was in the last quarter of my annual policy at the time of the loss, I will receive the agreed value plus an additional 6%. I highly recommend the NCM Agency for those that fit the usage qualification of the American Modern policy.

I am close to ordering mine. Not sure if they are building any with standard transmissions yet. I haven't seen any GS other than automatics coming into dealer inventory yet and one dealer I spoke to said GM had a supplier issue with the Manual transmissions.

Love to know what kind of discount off of list you were able to get.
You can always PM me, if you don't want to make it public.

Congrats and good luck!!
