Default 2016 Race Yellow orders

Has anyones Race Yellow ordered 2016 C7 or Z06 been built yet? My TPW is 7-20 and wondering if they have the color up and running for production yet.. Have waited 6 months already due to allocations and constraints and don't want to wait much longer for GM to get the yellow moving..

My Z51 yellow has a TPW of 8-3-15. Currently there are no constraints on the new color. Doubt we would have TPW if the paint was not available.

Good news... While yesterday there was no sign of yellow, today spring has sprung and we saw carts full of race yellow bodywork at the plant. Cars should roll out next week in that color.It's a great color too, a little lighter and more creamy but still very good yellow!

No cameras/phones allowed on the tours.

Keep a watch on the delivery web cams and you should start seeing them soon I'd expect.

I think this yellow is so hard to really get a good understanding unless you see it in person. So many pictures I have seen look so different with the lighting, sun, shade, ect. I see one picture and it's very bright and I love it, I see another one and it looks dull. Could also be the persons camera taking the picture. Can't wait to see them popping up on this forum.
