2006 C6 delivery date
I'm sure this has been addressed before but I was wondering if anyone knew when a person could expect delivery of a new 2006 C6 if you could pre-order it now. Just thinking..

More like late October.
Just get an 05 since there won't be a whole lot of difference between a late 05 and an early 06. Unless you want one of the new 06 colors, which could be inmportant since some of the 05 colors seem to be disappearing early.

The 2006 build starts September 9 (Z06 is July 25). Expect shipping to start the following week so delivery to dealers should start around September 15 (Z06 delivery in August). Of course, you have to be ordering from a dealer who will have allocation and be scheduled to have cars built at the start of production. Some small dealers don't get their first allocation for weeks/months after the start.

If you'r going 6 spd, go for it now. If the only difference is the steering wheel, enjoy the 4 spoke all summer, then if you still feel you need to, get an aftermarket next year. (it probably wont cost more than the price increase anyway.)

Can anyone speculate on the cost of replacing the steering wheel with the new one? Of course, one would want all of the original functionality in terms of audio controls, etc. If I get an '05, I would really like a 3-spoke.

Most of this regarding the options and changes is purely speculative. There is rumor of an XM satellite antenna in an invisible location, and other possible changes. No one knows for sure. It is correct that buildout will begin in early Sept and I doubt that any dealers will be able to send in orders before July.
I am waiting as well.

I, for one, will delay my 05 order if this is the true skinny
