Default How long for your build?

Waiting on a Z51 2LT 7sp manual to be built. I know there is a constraint on the tranny now but ignoring that how long can I expect it to take? My dealer says he has an allocation for it. How long did yours take to be entered into the system (1101) or for the order to be accepted by Chevrolet (2000) after you placed your order? Total time from order to you actually receiving your car? Thank you.

My '16 Z51 3LT A8 Vert was ordered on Feb 19th, Born on Mar 29th and delivered here in Nor Cal on April 14th. Just under 8 weeks. The dealership told me it was going to be more like 12 to 15 weeks.

My 2016 order was placed with GM on 6/6/15. On 8/22/15 i got the TPW of 9/14/15. On 9/17/15 i was told my car was built and waiting for a carrier to be assigned. And on 9/21/15 my dealer called me to tell me the truck was at the dealership and they are unloading it as we speak. I took it home on Fri 9/25/16.

Does your dealer really have an allocation? If they don't, or only get a few a year, you could be sitting at 1100 for a long time.
