Default Timing ! ?

Can anyone give me a guestamite as to when my car may arrive. My dealer told me he has not been able to order yet because of the carbon roof restraint. I actually just changed my interior color because i had so much time to think.

I would say 11-13 weeks from now.

4-5 for constraints and 6-8 to build and ship. Right before the end of the year or maybe a little after. Assuming of course everything goes according to plan and suppliers get caught up.

No new Z51 orders are accepted unless the dealer has a z51 allocation for new order. Only 10% of orders over the next 4-5 weeks can be Z51.

I bet a lot of dealer stock cars in the next several months will be without Z51.

If you want it before then be prepared to do a nation wide search of cars that drop out of sale. You will be unlikely to get exactly what you want.

You could also just buy a premiere edition.
