I purchased my Z on 11/30. I received the folder/binder or what ever it is called this week. About 4 weeks from purchase to delivery.
It did include a sales blurb on the C7 to help it hold its shape. Nice looking but I really don't know what I am going to do with it. I do remember there was something I had to fill out to get it and my one year complimentary membership in the NCM.

Not true. I bought my '15 off the lot from Mike Furman at Criswell. It showed up about 6 weeks afterwards. The issue is seems is most of the dealers are not submitting the necessary paperwork for the buyer to receive the gift.

When I bought my 2014 Z51 I got a coupon good for the track training in "LAs Vegas at a greatly reduced price . . . I got a 16 Z06 and have received nothing.
Any input, anybody know .. . . ?

I got the box, with the ipad holder, in matching napa leather that is the same color as the interior, a book with Z06 information, etc and a nice GM ring with bow tie in the top with a sapphire, white diamond, ruby (red/white/blue) about 6-8 weeks after a May delivery.
You didn't get these?
Oh, I did the buyers tour.
It could be dealer related, I had a really super deal on the A8/vert/Z06.
IDK, just sayin...

Just got mine. Picked up my '16 Coupe on August 31, 2015, so it was about 4.5 months. Black box, thank you letter with my VIN, Ron Fellows and NCM invitation and a nice commemerative book about C7 Corvette. No leather pouch but it's a nice token, not complaining.

The leather pouch is basically for holding an iPAd mini. What would have been a nicer gesture by CHevy for purchasing a $70K vehicle would have been an actual iPad Mini inside the leather pouch containing a copy of the owners manual and other corvette specific apps or documentation . Mine showed up about 1 month after purchase. Sound like 2016 owners no longer get the leather pouch.

dmhines hit the nail on the head. Some Cadillacs come with an iPad standard and have for several years. Your Corvette cost as much or more than that Cadillac and you get crap from GM. Just have to remember you are still driving a Chevrolet.
