Default #6236 just off the trailer long wait

Finally My car ha been sitting in Slkerk, NY waiting for the ride to MacMulkin in NH. Ron was awesome and sent some pics today freshly unwrapped. C7 Z51 Torch Red/Black. Took about a month stuck in transportation hell but finally here. Gonna do the walk thru tomorrow and then enclosed trailer 90m South to RI. Hoping for some dry/sunny days. Good luck to the other folks waiting and thanks for all the great tips. I don't think there was anything else I could do to the garage waiting forever. Do have my Z06 on the C5 forum for sale/in storage. Fun stuff.

Me too, but then I'm a huge Ferrari fan, and red roof is closest to it.

You get 7MT or paddle?

7 speed. Had 96 w/auto, then Z06 w/standard would never go back to auto but mostly since it's not a daily driver. Love your pics. Jaime

Jaime, Congratulations on you new arrival. She sure is a beauty. Many miles with smiles. Waiting on my vert from Mich. This wait has been a real heartburn. Gave up my c6 vert Sept 5th and the wait began. I have my fingers crossed for a pre-Christmas delivery.

jaimeleger.... Congrats!
But wow... what took so long? My Crystal Red was 7 cars ahead of yours on the assembly line (#6229) and I picked it up at the Museum on November 20th.
I think someone wanted it to sit in their showroom for a while!

Museum Delivery..... only way to go! Everyone has to experience that at least once in your life.

Nice Car although I am biased since I have nearly the exact same thing just A-Red interior. Good luck neighbor!! I also bought mine form MacMulkin (Ron) and drove it home to SE MA in October. Still only 370 miles on it since the cold weather has struck us up here.
