Dave, are the cars shipping today part of the first consensus? I'm asking because my friend in Florida is waiting for word on when hers will be built. She's not sure which consensus she is in.

A few more pics from Autoweek. If these have been posted elsewhere, my apologies. No snide comments required.

It's difficult not to be mesmerized by the red Cavalier in the first photo.

Dave@Ciocca

It's tough to say, I have cars built from both the first and second but I don't yet have a list of what actually shipped.

Looking at the photos, I don't think that the black wheels are going over so great. Maybe there are not that many kids in high school that are buying C7's after all.

Ouch.

Is that 11 on a truck . I hope the trucking firm has over 90 trucks and gets them all the first run. On the wheel issue I wish Chevy had the dark grey wheels they had on the 2011 GS. I didn't go black on a torch red car either.

I think the machined base wheel is the hands down loser....still have not seen one, and $1500.....

Dave@Ciocca

I think you are going to be surprised. We have more orders for painted wheels than ever before and it's not just young guys. Of course, since I prefer the painted wheel I may influence a few people...

When you say "painted wheels" do you mean the standard silver painted ones, or do you mean black?

Daekwan06

Nah. Thats just the trailer headed to AARP in that picture.

Actually that wrong. It would be the trailer full of C7's which chrome wheels thats headed to the AARP meeting.

Are you guys talking the Z51 wheel either black or silver ? Cause you can't get the standard wheel in black right?

jimmyb

I was just thinking the same thing.

Dave@Ciocca

Black wheels. Early on we were running about 25%!

I ordered black car, red interior, with.....

black wheels and yellow calipers (z51).

While not in high school, I may be one of the closest to it . DOB 1986.

The reason we old guys don't like the black wheels, they look like cars without hub caps when they are on the move. I do like them when they are clean and standing still.
I ordered my Torch Red Z51 with chrome wheels and I may be buying a complete set of Z51 black wheels with tires from a guy here on CF.

I'm glad young guys are buying this Vette . From what I read more and more young people are not driving . I can't imagine living with out a car and a specially a C7 type car.

Dave@Ciocca

Good point, I really only think about how the car looks standing still.

Somebody should start a picture thread of these haulers on the road. You know, if you run across one, snap a shot and post it with when and where. Kinda like the "Santa watch" on Christmas Eve.

Looks as if all the trailers are headed to AARP meetings.

Dave does this mean you may have some around on October 12th - Toys for Tots?
