Default First Vette and first post.

Just ordered a 2015 Z06 Shark Grey, 2lz 8 speed auto from Kerbeck last Monday. Owned other fast cars in the past but am more excited about this one for sure. Looks like it may be quite a wait on her to be built and delivered. Anyone have a rough estimate on when it will be ready?

Welcome to CF and Corvette in general. Your wait time will be dictated mainly by where you are on Kerbeck list. Other things like constraints on optional equipment could cause delays as well. Be patient, this car will be worth the wait

Welcome to the forum and congrats on placing your order. I would say 8-12 weeks for build and delivery if everything goes well. Maybe shorter depending on what options you ordered.

Where are you on the list? They are getting over 260 in their allocation. So if you are in the top 50 you will be in their top 20 percent of their allocation. However Cars with standard transmissions will be first to be built so there might be a delay until they start building cars with automatic transmissions.

You must be high on your dealers list. They are delayed in making auto trans. So it might take a little longer depending on when they actually start making these cars. It has been said a month or two delay.

You have one heck of a ride on the way, but it may be one heck of a wait but worth it.

Welcome to CF and the Corvette world!

As others have stated, your build time and delivery will depend upon where on the Kerbeck list you stand and whether or not your options are on constraint. In case you weren't previously aware, you can track your order and build progress on the Chevrolet website or in the below thread using your six character order number.

Post #5 in the below thread will tell you what each order and build status code means:
