Order placed!
Finally bit the bullet and placed my order for a 2015 Stingray today. I found a local dealer who's honoring supplier pricing and guaranteeing me $26,000 in trade for my 2005 coupe. Here are the particulars:
- Z51 coupe
- Laguna Blue
- Jet Black 2LT
- 7-speed manual
- FE4 (magnetic ride)
- Navigation
- Silver painted 10-spoke wheels
- Painted top
- FAY (carbon fiber dash)
- Carbon Flash hood stinger stripe
- Carbon Flash badges

Wow, sounds like you made a great deal! Good job on that.
I know you did your preliminary fact finding extensively, even going to the National Corvette Museum’s Bash recently and reporting to us all about the 2015s.
We talk a lot about how the Stingray looks on this forum, but I think the looks are so secondary to the driving experience of this new Corvette. It's my favorite part of the day getting the seat time. You're going to love it!

You will LOVE this car. Enjoy the order process ride (it's fun--mostly) and then enjoy your new ride.
PS That's a great trade in price for a 2005 C6. How many miles? Thanks.

Great choice of colors! 
You're gonna love the car - maybe CYA at Longview in a few weeks for the BowTie Bash!

Many thanks to all for your kind comments! The wait will be long but worth it. Hopefully I won't drive my wife as nuts as I did while waiting 84 days for my C6 to be delivered!
MikeC4C5C6...C7 - my 2005 has 34,300 miles on it. I made an agreement with my dealer that the mileage would not exceed 36,000 when I hand the car over to them.

26k is nice for the 05 too.
