Exact. I'm not saying that they will all be, but mine was.

I have ordered 3 C7s, the TPW on the first 2 was exact. The last and 3rd one changed twice but for the better since it got moved up. This was coming off of the 3 month plant shutdown last year.

LOL... don't know. Just received my notice...

Ordered on the 18th of Aug and last night, my salesperson called to say my TPW was 9/24. So, I'll know soon how accurate it is in a few weeks.

Of course, I've heard stories of people waiting up to 2 weeks for their car to arrive after completion... that will be a tough wait. LOL

Good luck to you! The problem was that they went from "Hold your horses and be patient. It will be ready when it is ready." to "Hurry up and get here!" for an NCM delivery. They told me, "GM does not like to see the cars sitting around." What does GM care if it's at the museum? It was ready sooner than I was told so I couldn't just change airline reservations, rental car, hotels, etc. just because they were early. They're not the only ones with a full calendar.

My 2017 Stingray - ordered in December of 2016 - actually arrived a week ahead of when it was promised by Mike Furman (The USA's #1 Corvette salesman). It arrived there on a Tuesday morning and I drove it home Wednesday afternoon, February 1st.

She sits in my garage with 6,700 miles on it.........and I may drive it tomorrow. It has not moved in two weeks because I was traveling out of town or the weather was crappy. I have never owned a car that made me smile so much.
