I'm stunned. Kevin just called @ 1430 hrs MST to tell me that my car, which had a TPW of 12/6, is on the line now and will be completed tomorrow, Saturday, 12/4. Now, three (3) is my lucky number but I sure didn't expect this even on 3 Dec. Wow!

CONGRATULATIONS Jack Was this the first time Kevin called to advise you on the order status? I am wondering if more orders will be moved up.

My C6 went on the line a day earlier than expected. It is now sitting on Allied's lot waiting for my Museum Delivery later this month.

Much worse, you begin obsessing over when it gets loaded, you look at every truck in your area hoping that it is a transport with your car on it. You may even change the route you take to work and back to see if you might see your truck. Driving by the dealer also becomes the norm. Oh yeah, you are in for it. Also forget sleep.

Have faith my car arrived 4-5 days ahead of schedule. Your dealer has an Estimated Delivery Date, some just don't know how to find it but it is there.

Congrats!

I am betting none of you ordered a convertible. Perhaps they are moving up the coupes given their vert production is pathetic.

Looks like they are going to run some verts through while the plant is closed for the Z06 builds.

Actually, I initiated the call Kevin at the suggestion of another CF member. I called Kevin in the morning, left a voicemail with my request, and he called back in the afternoon. Cool guy, that Kevin.

My wife contacted Kevin back in mid November. I can't even remember why but he said he would watch for my order when it came in and email me the status. He emailed me 12/1 to say my car would be built the week of 12/6 then followed up with a VIN the next day. You can't ask for better service than that.
