Default Target production week TPW 1-1-2018

There are at least 6 forum members here with a TPW target production week of Jan 1st, 2018. I thought it would be interesting to compare notes, largely on colors and who gets theirs built with the new paint.

Mine is a Grand Sport coupe in Admiral blue. Edit to add M7

Arctic White Stingray 1LT, Gray Interior, M7 ordered through MacMulkin on 8/15/2017. Counting on getting the new paint shop since this was supposed to be the first color and they will have been already painting 2018s from plant reopening in November to 1 January

TPW 01/01/2018

TPW 1/1/18 Admiral Blue GS Convertible, M7, 2LT with gray top and interior, black wheels, red calipers and hash marks, white stripe on hood.

Guess that's 5 for 5 on the M7's. I'm also doing the Museum Delivery option.

I also just got a TPW of 01/01/18 on my Watkins Glen Gray GrandSport 3LT bought through MacMulkin, Was originally going to do the museum delivery but then had seconds thoughts about drive a new corvette across country with summer tires during the hart of winter so am having it delivered to a local dealer.

7 for 7 on manuals thus far. Thread awesomeness like never seen before.

There are at least 3 more forum members with the same built week up in the customer service sticky thread.

I think your post was merged in here after the fact. Are you getting a A8 or M7?

That run of 7 for 7 manuals bucks mathematical probability so I would say that there was something behind it such as a recent allocation sweep and/or constraint for manual transmission equipped orders.

Interesting .... I would have to agree.
Although, at the reduced production rate of 12/per hr, that is still about 100 cars per day. I am sure there are still alot of A8's in there too.

1-1-18 AW A8 2LT GRAND SPORT COUPE


Another A8 here...was back and forth but daily driving through Southern California with a manual for the last 5 years around drivers on their cell phones, decided to focus on only having to steer
