Default Welcome Back BG Assembly!



Although in the pic, this part of the plant is not functional right now, the main Corvette Assembly Plant is back on line today making 2017 Corvettes. Look for Grand Sport to start arriving beginning of August or so, but in the meantime we have amazing deals on 2016’s in stock!

Look forward to working with many of you out there

Not sure how reliable TPW dates are, but my M7 just got bumped from 7/25 to 8/1.

Yep! They do know that there are quite a few people with more money than common sense and taste.

However, being a big GM fanboy like yourself I guess you forgot what their years of experience got them and us.

Don't get me wrong, I think they did a wonderful job with the Stingray, I own one. However, the Z06 and now this "Grand Sport" leave things to be desired.

Sorry to hear that. I thought the M7 is on constraint. How was yours set up for a build date?

A bunch of folks got TPWs on their M7 Grand Sports. However, I remember several forum regulars saying not to rely on the TPWs given the M7s were on constraint.

I guess they were right and the TPW isn't set in stone until it comes off constraint. I wonder though if any of the cars built on June 24 or July 11 were M7s.

The only M7s being built for now are non-Z51 base Corvettes.

Yep. Not sure if order timing mattered, but as far as I know my order was put in as soon as the order banks opened up. It actually moved to 3000 with an original TPW of 7/25 like a week after the order was placed.

Now you went and said it....

Company is operating on a restraining order via court at the moment. Gonna get ugly. Some kind of buyout deal with GM as a shareholder or something...gotta be put together soon.
