Tom Hill...Tom Hill.... I thought we were talking about DAVE Hill. I'm confused.
Frankly, I'm bored with all this C7 talk. I heard the C8 is going to have AWD/DCT/DOHC/AFM/VVT/CIA/NCAA/NAACP/FBI/DOT/and a whole pack of other acronyms. Tom Hill told me. Or was it Dave?

PS. I hope someone will show Tom this thread tomorrow (I am sure he's asleep at this moment), he would surely get a good laugh.

^ You see - the C8 controversy begins already . . .was it Tom or Dave who spilled the beans . . . . .
PS: Did he give you a C8 production date that we can agonize about?

I'm glad they're taking the time to get the cars right.
Much better than letting cars out that aren't properly sorted, incur the wrath of customers and magazines, and then spend years repairing the rep of the car.
I'd rather not see the C7 in the position the Viper is in now.

That's why some will wait for subsequent "runs." There's a lot going on with this car that will not get sorted out until "real" folks begin driving it in the "real" world.

True, Jim. But every opening I've ever been to of a far less (well, maybe not that much less) store, building, factory, warehouse, etc. is always fraught with last minute glitches that everyone wishes they had 24 hours or 24 more days to get it right.

So, now we're going to get all wound about 2 WEEKS?
To re-cap the train wreck this thread became:
1. We have conflicting Tom Hill quotes
2. Maybe we DON'T have conflicting Tom Hill quotes
3. We DON'T have conflicting Tom Hill quotes
4. Epic Fail by GM on letting US know the release period
5. Sadly for all the folks that are enjoying whining, the release period was revealed 8 MONTHS AGO
6. Somehow, the President (of the U.S.) is responsible for the "delay" that is not a "delay". I guess Democrats hate Corvettes.
7. I'm sure there will be more Chicken Little posts, this brings everyone up to date as of 11:52 PM

Who gives a rat's a** ................. When the cars are released, they're released. Some of these peeps are acting like it's the end of the world.

Remember the huge differences in all the makers' vehicles in the 50's and 60's? The workers took a 3 week 'change-over' and then it was business as usual--come on down and pick up your new cars folks.

We have to have something to complain about - the Camaro tail light issue doesn't even move the needle anymore

When Tom Hills says no customer cars till September, does he mean the build date or delivery date? If someone at Carlise could ask some questions at one of the seminars.
Has customer car production started? Yes or No
Will first customer deliveries be in late Sept early October? Yes or No
Could 1st and 2nd consensus cars be delivered at the same time due to the quality hold? Yes or no
Glad GM is doing it the right way and making sure we don't have any Mosquitos!

Add these questions.
How many cars in the 1st and 2nd consensus?
What is rate of production now? 20 a day or 5 per hour?
When running at full speed what is hourly production?

It's going to get to the point that these guys aren't going to say anything to anyone because when they do, it's all over the internet getting dissected and twisted...

Per John Kingsley, Program Validation Engineer, they are building customer cars now. Expected delivery late September. Showed Tom Hill how his thread was going and he said "That's hot". There you have it.

I think everyone knows what the thread is about. Some of us are trying to bring some levity to a thread that went off track 2 pages ago because reading/comprehension skills are often lacking on CF. If Tom Hill is on any "hot seat", it is getting the car right, not what is twisted around on CF.

Now people will be harping on about John Kingsley instead of Tom Hill!
