Default The long wait begins

I am so excited and depressed at the same time. Just got my order in yesterday for my first corvette (C6 velocity yellow 3lt loaded out) with Ron David at Classic Chevrolet in Grapevine, TX. Now the waiting begins (6-8 weeks). I don't think time can go by fast enough. So far, Ron has been great to work with and I highly recommend doing business with him.

Same boat as you. Long wait ahead. Had to order it the way I wanted it. But what a great thing to have to look forward too huh?
Many would love to be in our shoes! So that reminds me to be very grateful and try to be patient.

But its worth the wait

Congratulations...Just don't let Ron and his boys put the dealer logo on the car. I saw a yellow C6 vert this past Saturday at 3 Forks Restaurant off the toll road. It had the Classic logo centered right above the Vette crossed flags on the back of the car. It looked absolutely horrible.

Congrats on the order, But long wait 6 to 8 weeks is a walk in the park, Just be glad you dont have to wait 12 to 18 months or longer for a Z06.
