Default ordered 07 coupe today

I ordered a new machine silver coupe today to replace my C5.

LT1
Z51
6 speed
comp grey
museum delivery

Is the museum delivery worth the money? Don't really know what to expect.

CONGRATS I have not done it personally, but many here have, and from what I have read everyone says it is well worth it.

Great color combo, same as mine. The silver with gray comps look really tough. First time I saw it I knew I had to get it. Which interior did you order? I got the red and it also goes great with the silver.

I didn't do the museum delivery, I just didn't want to drive that far with a brand new car. Instead I went out with my oldest son (22 years old) and we watched my car get built in one day. That was fantastic. We stayed an extra day to go through the museum. Watching your car get built used to be free and the tour was given by a GM employee named Kevin Tarrence. But now the museum has taken over this and they charge something like $350 for it.

I just did the same thing and it was worth every penny.

Congrats - you're going to love the car. Hope the wait isn't too long.

BTW, you mean "1LT"; "LT1" was an engine RPO code a few years back.

I took delivery of my '07 this summer, and yes, I think it was worth the cost. Of course it may depend on how far away you are from Bowling Green.

Of the many threads I've read here of NCM delivery experiences, I can only recall 1 that was not sure if it was worth the cost and effort and had anything negative to say about it.

Here's mine: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=1462772
