When is it too soon to place an order?
How far in advance of the release of the new model year's model, can a buyer place an order for a new C7? For instance, if one intended to purchase a 2017 --- when is the earliest that orders could be placed? I plan on giving myself a gift in 2017 --- if I'm still breathing. Thanks.

I thought my question would be looked upon as crazy, so your non-mocking response is appreciated. Thank you.

Then you would definitely not want to get your order in that early. Once production gets up-to-speed and the initial backlog of orders is taken care of, an order should only take 6-8 weeks or so (assuming your dealer has available allocations). My C6 was ordered mid-January and I took delivery March 4.

My dealership has been a serious Corvette dealer since the '50s - and has a bunch of loyal customers. He starts his list for the new model as soon as a customer walks in and says "Put my name on the list for a . . . " A good friend started my dealer's C7 list in April of 2012.

Didn't know initially the OP was hoping for Delivery in May of 2017. Thought he wanted it asap!

But I am willing and hoping to reach the age where I will treat myself to it ...
