All members who had or had a twp 3/10/14
Curious all those who had a TWP date, how long will it take for delivery to it's destination? Mine was produced 3/13/14
I was told by Colby,GM, that Z51 's are trucked instead of rail to it's destination. Don't know how true that statement is. He told me mine will be trucked all the way to PHX by the end of this week.

It took my Z51 about a week to get from Toledo to the Bay Area, and 2.5 days waiting to be unloaded at the rail yard and taken to my dealer 20 miles away.
2/21 it went to Toledo, arrived in Milpitas, CA on 3/2, unloaded 3/5.

with the consensus about your car being shipped by rail.My C7 took over 4 weeks from BG to Spokane, WA and an additional 5 days to be unloaded and trucked to dealer.
Good luck

Well, folks, just talked and confirmed on my C7 that it is waiting to be loaded onto a truck carrier with a stop in Toledo and straight to my dealership. He estimated about a week with no interruptions. No rail for me. So both rail and truck carriers are used.
Steve, verified it

GM ships ALL CORVETTES by rail now and have since the 1st of the year.
As I said, if I'm wrong...$100 goes to St Jude.....

That's where the rail hub is that they ship them from.... By train. If it wasn't going on a train it would not be going out of its way to Toledo.

Sorry Steve but unless they've made some sort of special arrangement, it is NOT coming by truck. The "stop in Toledo" is the CSX rail head, where it will head to just outside of Chicago to be transferred to Union Pacific

Well I don't know which is faster. I just have to wait and see how it gets here. Will advise.

It's contagious! Mine built or finished on Thursday, Friday the cust svc link said shipped/en route and of course it never left BG.
Confirmed by Marissa and my north Texas dealer!
Who gets theirs first?????? Day and time of day contacted by the dealer that the truck/train ( lol) just got to their door!
Last one should donate $100.00 to St Jude just because!!
Keep your eyes peeled on this thread!!!!
