Default 2017 on order

When GM picks up the order how long does it usually take to build the car? It's a 2017 Corvette 2 LT Watkins Grey auto.

Didn't you ask your dealer about how long they thought it would be?

Looks like they've been running about 4 to 5 weeks. Depending on your location, shipping could take a little longer.

Okay thanks. Being from PEI,Canada might take longer but that's okay. The weather won't be nice to define untill May anyway. Besides I am in Florida where it's warm.

Once your order is picked up (i.e. your event code moves to 2000), figure on 3 - 4 weeks for production. That's quicker than it used to be. Up until recently the lag time was 4 - 6 weeks. Lower demand has helped speed things up.

I put the order in with the dealer in Dec. But they dont ship Corvettes to Canada in the Winter and besides wouldn't be able to drive it anyway. So if I get it by May that will be fine.

The order for my 2016 Z-51 C7 was placed Saturday 6-27-15. Next on Saturday 8-22-15 i finally got the TPW of 9-14-15. It was built and was ready to be shipped on 9-17-15. It was 4 days later on Monday 9-21-15 it was here in New York at my dealer. WOW fast shipping. So it took 12 weeks from when i placed the order to when i picked up my C7. And yes it was a long 12 weeks but it was well worth it.
