Average wait time?
For all of those who ordered their vettes, how long did it take for you to drive it home from the date you put the order in? Just curious how much variablility there has been.

How long is the average traffic light? 
It really makes a difference how many allocations your dealer has. My order went in on May 2, 2004. As of September 2, 2004, my dealer still hadn't gotten his allocation. I cancelled and bought one off another dealer's lot.
Most people, though, get theirs in 6-8 weeks.

I signed my contract on 2/26; received an order number on 3/7 but, no build date yet. Last week my dealer they had a build slot open but, I could not get it because of the Z51 option on my order. This dealer is honest so, I trust what they told me.
In the meantime, I will be counting the days to that fantastic drive home.
Ordered C6:
1YY07, 1SB, CC3, UE1, URB, U2K, Z51, 6 Speed, Black/Ebony

I was also told 8 to 12 weeks but he hinted that he gets them much faster than that sometimes. I guess this dealer is one of the top 10 in allocation spots so maybe it will be fast. I just hope I dont have to wait till May for my new baby!!

Ordered my power top convertible with polished wheels on 12/18/04. Both of these options were burdened by "constraints" in January 
. In addition, I believe the plant was closed a week or two over the holidays 
. Car arrived at the dealership around 11 am on 3/6/05 and I picked it up on 3/7

Well, this ain't exactly average . . . I put my deposit down in January 2004.
I put my specs together for the order in March.
I got a GM order # in late May.
On 1st July, I had to change color as Precision Red went away (glad I did now - love Mag Red).
In mid-November, it was becoming clear that a power top vert would not be forthcoming in 2004. I added Z51 to console myself.
At the beginning of January 2005, GM threatened big delays on the power top, so I changed it to manual. More consolation in the form of XM radio and Onstar options followed.
The stars must have aligned, as I finally moved to status 2500 in the third week of January 2005.
By the beginning of February, I had a TPW of 2/7.
The car was built on 2/8 and delivered at the NCM on 2/25.
It had been a long wait . . . .
So, start to finish was 15 months, but things happened pretty quick once GM actually preferenced the order.
