Just wondering. If so, what were you given for your timeline?

Regular Stingray for me. I'm hoping to engineer a May 1st NCM delivery. Right now, today, it's about 4 weeks, but this could change. NCM delivery is really tricky to get right. Plane fares are cheaper if you can book over a month out. Constraints might hit you, etc. I have to be in LA on June 2nd and want a month road trip first, so I'm hoping I can pull this off logistically. Fingers crossed.

I ordered a Stingray LT2 Convertible 9/23, build week is this week. Still need to schedule museum delivery trip, probably a few more weeks before it is in the garage.

Just ordered another C7 2017 Stingray convertible, 2017 M7, 2LT with Navigation/PDR. Trading a 2014 equipped exactly the same. Not interested in a Grand Sport, nothing to gain except aerodynamic enhancements.

Just ordered a GS. Traded my 14 non-Z51 3LT 7M (which I bought off the dealer lot)I was actually looking for a dealer stock 16 Z51 with Mag and there were none around. Got a great price on a 16 Z51 w/o mag ride and a 16 base 3lt w/mag ride but no NPP. Decided it was best to order this one exactly the way I wanted it.

Dealer speculates built week either before or just after Thanksgiving. I am under the impression that GM will pick up the order (2000) on Thursday. I will keep you posted.

Assuming I am unable to locate a leftover LRB, Z06, 3LZ, I expect to order a similarly configured 2017 LRB convertible, Z06, 3LZ, M7 in December for delivery whenever it comes off the line.

We ordered a GS on 9/19/16 and the order was "expedited" by Corvette Brand Quality Mgr and Marketing Mgr as it's a replacement car for our '16 Stingray being bought back by GM.

Order was entered outside the normal system of consensus, allocations, etc. but once the order was into the factory, it was processed normally. Was given a TPW of 10/24/16..... The car was at 3800 "Produced" with a VIN # yesterday, and went to 4000 "Available to Ship" today.

Hopefully, it will be on a truck to Gettysburg in a day or two. Unfortunately, the buy back process takes about 4 or 5 days once the car arrives at my dealer. Go figure....

The overall process was to be 3 to 4 weeks, but I think I got slowed down by the timing of the Z06 getting released to production.

Going through same drill- with 11% discounts considering ordering a Z51 2LT vert with magnaride- GS would be only $2500 more but not sure wider body og GS fits vert and not tracking car.
Undecided.

Pretty sure you're replying to the wrong user. His car is a stingray, not a gs.
