Default Build date for 2012 GS

My dealer gave me the detail order # last week
What does TPW stand for and it has the date of 10/03/2011

I thought this was the build week so I went to the GM site and put in the order number it says the order was placed today. Will someone explain it to me. First Vette I have ever ordered. Thanks

LOL, trust me I understand where your coming from. I still have to find a new house in Phoenix area and get moved before I can even place the order. If your build week is 10/3 then it's almost here. Should give you time to polish the garage floor where it will be parked...put some pic up of what you ordered.

I remember when I went through it five years ago it reminded me of being a little kid again and the anticipation of waiting for Christmas to come. Then that day finally comes.

You can always do what I did while I was waiting, buy mods! My wife thought I was an idiot buying things for a car I didn't have yet. Every day watching for the UPS guy to arrive with a new package for me.

It's a sickness, but it's fun. Good luck with the new Vette!

Depends on when it starts it can start before your production week. My 2012 Z06 started on Tues and came off line 2 weeks later it now takes about 80 hrs to build. They work 10 hr days 4 days a week.

You might want to sign-up for the Buyer's Tour. You spend 20 hours or so in the private factory tracking your specific Vette. And, you get to meet all the workers on the line, which is terrific.

Highly recommended and cheap $400 plus lodging.
