My order went in today also. My dealer has only been entering an order when the constraints have lined up. He wasn't getting a lot of cars, but mine is the one of the last that were placed "pre-sold" My decision was made months ago, but I had to wait my turn. Maybe they will go down the line together.

2014 Corvette Stingray Coupe 2LT with Z51 Performance Package
Cyber Grey Metallic
Black Interior
Z51 5-split spoke Black Aluminum Wheels
6 Speed Automatic Transmission
Painted Mirrors and Spoiler
Magnetic Ride Control
Black Painted Brake Calipers
Performance Exhaust
GT Bucket Seats
Navigation
Carbon Fiber Dash
Exposed Carbon Fiber Roof

Congrats... Placed my order about one week ago. There are others ahead of me, but my order is basic (no Z51 package). Dealer is expecting an allocation for my car pretty quick. We will see...

Always interesting how people prioritize their options. I'm one of the few who isn't going with the performance exhaust option. The assembly line technicians will have to get the book out to install the standard system, seems to be that rare.

Thanks everyone and congrats back to others that have placed orders. Now instead of selecting options I will be putting check marks on the calendar counting down the days to delivery!

rdrnr,

Did your order move? Mine went to Queued for Production. Customer Chat said it's at 3000 with no TPW yet.

Larry; I have the standard exhaust on my C7, I feel you might be surprised how good it sounds!
