Default Finally ordered today

I've hung around here since last august and finally ordered today. DSOM 3LT mn6. I want to thank all the fourm members for the valuable information I've received. I've road tested two cars, one with F55 and a base car. Don't need z51. I will be doing the muesum delivery and the main reason for waiting is the winter here in Minnesota. I've owned alot of performance cars but this is the first vette. When I drove a c6 I was had. The wait begins. THANKS.

Congratulations. What a great feeling that must be. When do you guys expect to pick up your new rides at the museum? I'm about to pull the trigger but don't know exactly when. I want to time my order for an early May NSM delivery.

I think you should order if you want an early may delivery. I'm planing on an early to mid may delivery. Maybe we will be there at the same time.

Congratulations! Noticed you were from Minnesota. I owned and drove vettes for 20+ years while living in Minnesota (Woodbury). It was frustrating to put them up every November and not take them out until May. But the C3s and C4s were a handful on ice. Still, it's worth it. Good luck and have fun.

Word of warning I just paid for my vert today, but I'm not picking it up at NCM until mid-March. So I own a vette, but I can't drive it for another three weeks. Just be prepared to wait, and look at the brochure DVD over, and over, and over, and over....

Congrats...
