A few observations from inside BGA on 11/21
I was in BG today. My guess is VIN #670+- would be sitting at the end of the line over the weekend.
I ended up doing the late morning and early afternoon public tour.
CC brakes are huge. All colors look stunning. The power bulge and front fender treatment look badazz.
Saw a red Z with chrome. Hard to admit it, but i liked it.
SG was the dominant color on the line followed by Red (not scientific, just eyeball)
Very few NRB, DSOM, Black
Dont recall any Blade Silver
High ratio of coupes vs. verts
Worked 10 hrs today. They were behind their goal of 180 cars by about 10 at 2:00 CST.
Saw a S ton on cars out back. Most were wrapped. I have to believe that we are at this point we are waiting for the epa numbers then off they go.
for those who have not seen these in person you are going to LOVE THIS CAR!!

Good info. Thanks for posting. I'm currently sitting at status code 3000 with my SG Z06 coupe. Hoping she'll be built before the end of the year.

. I knew I should have ordered NRB with black wheels and yellow caliper. Instead I will have a SG/silver wheels & red calipers like 60% of all Z06 built..
Their goes exclusivity even though its a mass produced car... Well I guess I will have my Alfa 4C by June so that can be my exclusive sports car

Yes... Everything I could see out the back door from inside the plant. I would estimate from my vantage point I could see 3-400 cars all of which were covered. Obviously there are more back there that I could not see that may or may not be covered.

Were the convertibles you was Z06s or regular Stingrays? My convertible Z order is at 3300 according to chat, so I should be getting fairly close. I don't have a TPW yet, they told me I had to wait until it goes to 3400 before I'll get that.

They are only working Monday and Tuesday next week. My guess is that you 3rd consensus guys will start rolling down the line the week of Dec 1. I have not seen a 2nd consensus order with a VIN that wont be done or very close to being done by this coming tuesday.
Congrats on the Vert

Thank You for the update. If by chance you saw a black ZO6 what was your honest opinion??? The reason I ask is thats the color Iam getting in automatic when they are available.

There did not seem to be a lot of white, but i suspect that is an anomaly. I did see 2 or 3 white Z's in the QC area and they looked very nice.... but honestly they all do. Im not a fan at all of the orange on a color chip, but i saw one near the end of the line omg
it looked killer
The exhaust note really supprised me. Im not sure what mode the driver had the car in (i suspect track) The driver put on a bit of a show with what sounded like a 3K throttle blip and a mini burnout at the end of the line. The throttle response was immediate... it sounded like the clutch/flywheel weighed about 8 ounces
