order process
1. determine what you want, Z51 or not make big difference.
If not Z51 then
choose a dealer and deposit whatever he wants. you should still check on his allocations. The carbon fiber roofs and dashes are also on constraint. Ask dealer if anyone in front of you. when dealer gets his next allocation your order goes into the GM system and you will probably get your car in 8-10weeks.
If Z51 then you definitely need to go to a large dealer (i recommend Kerbeck) because you will have to wait until everyone in front of you gets their order. If you go to a small dealer this wait could be forever. I had to wait 3 months just to get the order placed. Then it takes about 8 weeks.
If you don't have a large dealer close by there is a courtesy delivery process that is available, although I don't know much about it.

Might have to be a bit more specific. Ordering a car is almost as simple as ordering a quarter pounder. You tell them what you want. They write it down. You likely put a deposit down. You wait for your car to be built. You take delivery.

1. FIND A DEALER W/ ALLOCATION (Forum dealers MacMulkin and Kerbeck are two safest bets). MacMulkin has ZERO dealer fees and will do courtesy delivery to your local dealer straight from BG factory.
2. Place order and send deposit check ($2k for MacMulkin).
3. Order will be placed into GM Workbench 1100 status
4. Following week normally (depending upon what you order), order will get matched to allocation and get to 2000 status (GM knows who you are now). No allocation, you will sit at 1100 forever (hence the need to make sure dealer HAS allocations).
5. Wait about 6 weeks and car will be finished.
6. Pay dealer.
7. Pick-up your new baby at your local dealer.
8. Get permanent *hit eating grin on your face.
Hope that helps.

The courtesy delivery is simple. If you order through a forum dealer, they will set it up. The car leaves the factory and instead of it going to the dealer you ordered through, it goes to the accepting courtesy dealer for a nominal fee...usually $300-$500. It is as simple as that.

One of the things to be careful about ALLOCATION is while your dealer may have allocation, it may not be enough to make the numbers work in your favor. Long story short, you still may wait a very long time even if your dealer has allocation. The reason why the two dealers mentioned above can get it done is because they order 100+ cCorvettes a month. Somewhere in that 100 cars, they can match all of the options you want. By comparison, your dealer might have a few allocations left for the ENTIRE year....heaven forbid if you want a constrained item or package. It ain't gonna happen any time soon. Search "allocation" on this forum and read up!!!

Carbon Fiber Dashes (FAY option) have been off constraint for a couple weeks now. The only CF roof constraint is on the dual roof packages currently. Z51 is still at 50% constrained.

Given your handle is Oriole fan, I'm going to take a guess and say you're located near Maryland (if not in it).
If that's the case, you could do a lot worse than call Mike Furman at Criswell in Gaithersburg, MD (a forum dealer). He'll give you the straight scoop.

What sucks is if you need to trade in a vehicle or vehicles. Going from So Fla to northern dealers is kind of a PITA!!! In my case northern dealers were not to sure about one of my 2 trades and only wanted one. Right now I am dealing with a Fla dealer 300 miles away and they took both vehicles and have already sold both, ALAS they don't have a ton of allocations and I am ordering a Z51. Been almost a month now and I am at 1100.Hope springs eternal it will change soon.

There is one flaw, you will have to drive home from the Museum, I think the price is higher, $950 if I remember correctly.

Once it goes to 2000, it will go to 3000 the next day - at 3000 no changes can be made.
