Default The wait is actually KILLING me!

I can't sleep anymore, I am constantly looking at the forums for any sign of hope that the C7's are being shipped, and to top it off, I can feel the stress in my heart! I swear to God.... I think I am going to have a heart attack any minute waiting for the C7!!!!

Anyone else feel the same????

I'm assuming you actually have one on order..yes? If not, you are nuts and need some medication!

First off...just breathe...deeply.

No, I don't feel that way at all. The C7 will be around the streets of America for at least the rest of your life. Chill...

relax, the car is going to be built and delivered whenever it gets built and delivered. All the stressing out in the world isn't going to change that. It's Friday - enjoy the day. Great thing about being a cancer survivor, you have a permanent reminder of what's important and what's not .

You put things in perspective! And you are absolutely right!

I highly recommend that anyone who is stressing about the C7 needs to go outside, get in whatever Corvette you own, and drive the snot out of it for an hour or 5. In any event...GET AWAY FROM THE COMPUTER!!

"Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy" - widely attributed to Ben Franklin erroneously (he was more of a wine drinker apparently). But good advice nonetheless! Err, AFTER you get done flogging your current Corvette to within an inch of its life

With every C6 that I ordered. I feel your pain. Should be soon, though.

lol u cant wait for the 5 sec car lmfao...
Motortrend has not even put in the worlds greatest dragrace 3, cause it would have been ashamed and owned. It would have been even slower than the Cayman rofl . But U Chevy guys must be happy happy, cause the c7 is still faster than the Ford ST lmfao.

If you don't like the c7 what the heck are you doing on this forum? There is no need to insult people and their choice of cars!

I think Capt Kirk has a message for some of you guys that are going nuts waiting for your car (see about 4:20 in the video):

You sound like my Dad stressing over whether to seed or sod his yard. He's losing sleep. Blows my mind. Find something more significant to put your mental energy towards.

Of course, there is this argument too. Tough call. Good luck.

Immediately after the reveal in Detroit, I put my 2007 twin turbo triple black C6 vert for sale on this forum... I sold it to a guy in Sacramento CA, in Feb, he had it transported from my home near chicago all the way back. I don't regret it one bit, but YES, the wait is killing me...

It is interesting where people tell you to chill and get a life, it's not that we don't know what's important or have lost perspective (no it doesn't compare to getting cancer, losing a loved one, etc...) that isn't the point, the point is the anticipation has been building for the better part of a year for some of us that put money down long ago, instead of flaming the op, why not join in his excitement, and tell him and others like him (including me) that you get it and you can't wait to have us share all the fun when we finally do take delivery...

PS: a BIG part of why it's so hard is the unknown of when we will finally get the car. I for one am flying one way to NH to drive the car back through the mountains of Pennsylvania on a two day rode trip, and of course, I would like it to be sooner rather than later so I can have the roof off while it's still warm, to those of you that get it, THANK YOU, to those of you who tell us to "calm down" and not to "get excited" IT WON'T HAPPEN
