Default Event Code & VIN# question....

My car was built on the 1/18 just got my VIN...114316 today so im at event code 3800. Two questions: How long does it take from 3800 to 5000 and what does the last six digits on the VIN mean?

It's actually just called a VIN as it stands for Vehicle Identification Number. The plant has produced over 10,000 C6 cars so far so you really need to add the digit 1 in front of 4316. That means your car was # 14,316 for model year 2005.

Your car should be at the dealer by the end of the month.

The 150 number is about right. The 180 number is a little high.

BDC6, seeing your VIN# made me go check mine. My VR coupe came off the line the same day with #14,361. I guess we are both getting close to corvette heaven....
