Ordered New Z51 Today
Now the wait begins. Went down today and ordered a LRG-Z51/LT1, 7 Speed, Magnetic Selective Ride Control, Performance Exhaust. Man I'm pumped. The new C7 sure makes my C5 seem old. How long have the wait times been running lately? Anyway we're off to tour the Bowling Green plant come Monday. My wife and I are both retired from GM with 30 years service. Going to enjoy this experience very much.

If the place you order from has allocations, then 8 - 10 weeks. If no allocations, sometime around the 12th of never.

Congrats, you will enjoy.
Is LRG going to be a 2014 only color?

Ask your sales manger to show you a GM WORKBENCH ORDER showing a status code of 2000.until then you have nothing ordered with Chevrolet. It is just on paper at the dealership.

That's when GM starts to do something. If you're 1100, you're in the twelfth of never time frame.

There's an allocation report I've seen that has some strange numbers on it. One I saw showed less than 100 total C7's available for that week nationwide which made no sense. I believe that even though the report says National on it there's another meaning. I'm pretty sure that number relates to additional allocation for that week over and above the consensus number sent out the week before, not the total number of orders being accepted.
Regardless, that 250 number is off by an order of magnitude.

As of today there is 9 weeks of production remaining that hasn't already been allocated. They average at least 700 cars per week of which half are Z51's. Out of that 350 per week about 75 are verts. That means there are roughly 2400 Z51 coupes yet to be assigned dealer orders in the 2014 MY run.

OP: heed this warning
OP, if your order doesn't move to 2000 within the next week or so, you should do the same.
