Default Ordered my C6 today!!!!!!

Well, I finally took the plunge and ordered it today, Velocity Yellow, 6 speed, and Z51. Didn't want any other options, (don't need a Nav system, if I don't know how to get there I shouldn't be going there!! haha!)

Now just gotta wait that eternal 8 weeks... gonna' be a lonnnnng wait.
Still haven't decided on the warranty, if I will purchase an extended one or not. Never been a believer in Extended warranties, specially when the car comes wit ha 3 year, 60 000km factory warranty already. Bee ndoing many searches here for warranty threads, and still not decided. If anyone has their opinions, feel free! i'm all ears.

Congratulations on taking the plunge

I hope you find your waiting period bearable.

I waited exactly 6 weeks between the order date and delivery.
The wait was no fun for me.

Yeah thanx guys! Thing that makes the wait worse is having to drive my winter/work vehicle, a Rav 4 till i get the vette, reliable car and all, but NO vette!!!! maybe I should hibernate for 8 weeks!!

if your gonna get an extended warranty get it thru warranty direct a true bumper to bumper warranty which will cover even wear and tear and overheating, which no dealer will ever cover on there so called bumper to bumper warrantys, their a joke i would never ebver buy an extended warranty from a dealer. warranty direct will let you take your car to any dealer for repairs, dont have no hassle with paperwork or nothing , a very good reputable company with an awesome extended warranty which i highly recommend and only thru them.

Many happy miles. I'm waiting for mine now which I ordered 2 weeks ago. Already bought enough mods to keep me busy for a week when the car finally arrives. Again... good luck..........
