Hope you get your car soon, pics please, when you do get it.
Okay. Will check with you, as time gets closer. Checked this morning looks like rail car got switched form CSX in Kansas City to Union Pacific. UP has rail delivery scheduled for the Friday 9/25 ....

Still haven't seen your pics. Is the convertible in your profile pic yours.

Glad yours is finally moving. I thought 7-8 days was bad. Apparently, not a lot of cars going to Montana.
I've been occupying my time ordering accessories. Good thing it's arriving this weekend or else I might go broke...lol Now I need to address Xpel and window tint.

LBR with Brownstone should look really nice. Looking forward to seeing the pics of your car/combo.

Thank you for the compliment.


I bought my Stingray from Sean McCann at Stingray Chevrolet in Plant City, FL. This was without a doubt the best car buying experience I have ever had! I shopped the top six Corvette dealers in the country and Stingray was the best deal. But it's more than that. The level of service throughout the entire process was nothing short of amazing. I strongly recommend that anyone buying a Corvette call Sean at Stingray (813) 359-5045.


Here is the list of options:
Stingray 3LT
G1E Long Beach Red
345 Kalahari Perforated Napa Leather Seating Surfaces
5YW Motorsports Polished Aluminum Wheels
M5U 8-Speed Paddle Shift Automatic Transmission
NPP Performance Exhaust
ERI Battery Protection Package
FE2 Magnetic Selective Ride Control
5ZU Z51-Style Spoiler
FCC Hi-Gloss Carbon Fiber Interior Trim
V8X Custom Sillplates with Stingray Logo
BV4 Personalized Plaque
VRS Cargo Shade with Crossed Flag Logo
VTE Underhood Liner with Stingray Logo
B92 Exposed Carbon Fiber Weave Hood Insert
C2M Carbon Fiber Dual Roof Package
VQK Front and Rear Black Molded Splash Guards
RXX Carbon Flash Rear License Plate Holder

I saw LBR with Spice Red at the NCM Bash last April. It's very nice. You're going to love it. Corvette is slow to introduce anything new (Spice Red) due to quality control. Be patient - it's worth the wait.

Ammo sorry for your looooong wait. I had some bad info on the "Industry" term. Apparently, Union Pacific uses the term to reference the end of their run at their rail yard in Industry CA, outside LA. The Rail Car my car is on was dropped off in Phoenix last night at around 9PM and the eta for Industry was still scheduled for 9am on 9/26.


I have a young salesman and he doesn't have a clue on the time schedule to unload and for the 15 mile delivery from the rail yard to the dealer. If it wasn't a 100 miles to the rail yard I'd drive down to Phoenix and check for myself..........


On another note. I've had issues with the window tint the Honda dealer put on my CR-V. Seems the sun is always on the driver's side going south in the am to Phoenix and on my return which is causing some skin damage. I stopped at a local SunTek dealer, who is highly recommended by SunTek SW Corp. for PPF. He demoed some Madico Wincos window tint using an infra red sun lamp box. He compared the SunTek dark limo tint which cut the heat by 50-60% then the clear Wincos windshield film and it cut the heat by at least 85 to 90%. I'm having the sides on the Honda replaced and adding the windshield. I haven't really seen Wincos discussed on the forum, but it's worth taking a look at a demo for your Vettes. I already have a deal with my dealer for free Huber Optik in exchange for taking out a short term auto loan. Local window tint installer use to install Huber Optik and says I'll be happy with the product...

I found out Monday mine was in Toledo as well, I sure hope it doesn't spend a month there like yours did. If it does I will be in trouble, we generally have snow around Halloween in Canada and I was planning to drive mine to Phoenix.
