Come by Park Avenue BBQ Friday in Wellington, I am guessing a lot of us are going to meet for the first time. You can check her out. I cant believe you ordered your car from the same place and did not get her yet. And in January at that. They called me when the ordering process began in July. I went there a few weeks earlier and left a $500 deposit. I was #4 on the list. But could not get #4 when ordering started because of the CF constraints. So I chose to wait for the second round of ordering which was the next week, then I was #5. GM finally accepted my order on July 17th. Born on date was Sept 18th. So 3 months, not bad!! 
Hang in there, its worth the wait!

I just went to the Chevrolet website, and they have one in Pembroke pines for sale. its a 3lt z51 7speed manual going for 75k!!
same amount I paid for my RF Z06 for!
i'm wondering how much did you all pay for a C7??

The C6Z had pitiful seats with pleather that got hard and brittle even with meticulous applications of conditioner in an interior layout akin to my old Tahoe, with a marginal at best stereo, no NAV. In the C7 my vastly unworthy skinny butt is cuddled in glove soft napa leather, infinitely adjustable, comfy cooled seats in an interior that makes me feel like I'm driving a pricey exotic, with NAV, cool and much needed backup camera, and a superb stereo with built-in noise reduction. Oh yeah, the exposed carbon fiber roof (kinda like the $120k C6 ZR1) comes off easily and weighs only 16 pounds.
This is almost six years later, I don't exactly know what the inflation factor would be but it's something to consider in the equation.
Even at 75k for the car you mentioned in Pembroke Pines, it sounds to me like someone will be getting one helluva deal; EEK!!

Since you're asking, my '08 2lz Z06 msrp was $74,600 and I paid $68,800 plus a $500 dealer fee on 1/6/08. My 2014 3lt Z51 (equivalent to a 10lt or higher C6) msrp was $69,250 and I paid $68,750 with no dealer fee. The Z06 came with cast 18/19 wheels, GY runcraps and a worrisome engine tick, the C7 came with forged 19/20 wheels, incredible Michelins and a purring state-of-the-art engine that lets me hear the glorious multi-adjustable exhaust with five different driving modes.

everything you have said is true, including the inflation factor, and is all very nice BUT, for a 75k sticker price(C7 Stingray
)that still prices out a few people who 6 years purchased a C6 for around 50k. you also have to realize, most people still make the same amount money as they did 6 yrs ago. I just feel it is a little over priced, and thought it would be more around 65k.I saw that car today in Pembroke pines. it was black, the car looks shorter in person! definitely more modern look than a C6
I will definitely be looking at getting the new higher end version when they come out, since the C7 is too slow for my taste

Bad *** combo! We where going to order white but my marketing team bitched we had too many white cars and unfortunately white does photograph great....the black wheels tie it all in!
We ended up getting Laguna Blue with red gut and I love it!
Congrats on the car.....if your down our way, Sample/Powerline I'd like to check it out.

I'm flying into Ft. Lauderdale the night before the Oct. 20th one, so I'll be there. I hope as many new c7 owners that can possibily make it will be there too. Hoping for many exterior and interior colour combos. See you there.

When do you plan to start a "Cars & Coffee" event? It would be nice to have one locally, and not have to drive to Boynton Beach.
