So is yours. I have no dog in this fight, but you're painting an unflattering picture of yourself here. And you're doing so because you literally have no idea what you're talking about. At the same time, you're crapping on people that do actually know.
Read this post in the C7 section and note carefully what Event #1100 means. It means that the dealer placed and order, but it HAS NOT BEEN ACCEPTED BY CHEVY YET. That's the next Event #.

Order what you like and you will get your car when the dealer calls.. You guys need to chill out, it's not a race and we're all here at the same place to share "good" conversations and ideas. Who really cares who gets the first C7 Z on the road just be humbled that you are ordering a 100k car and be done with it..

why are you quoting a post from the forum from 2013????? Doesn't anyone get higher education these days and learn what reliable references are??? I know that I am quoting a person and that it is not a reliable source but you are an quoting extremely old forum source-things do change sometimes....
None of this process has been changed
Everybody you are arguing with is aware of this, but you apparently have some sort of a superiority complex going on and refuse to believe them
Good luck

I appreciate that you did go on the web page and see if yours also said the same thing....and I can say that you are correct that those are preliminary orders.....when I first joined this forum I thought maybe people would be helpful and cordial. I am sadly disappointed by the replies and reactions from some of you - downright evil some of them! Sometimes people might have a little information that others don't.....this is what I got from a very reliable source and no it wasn't a dealership or anything like that - and also with order numbers that have ALL letters won't be in cue for quite some time and those that have numbers at the end will be produced first because they want to sell out the very expensive packages first - hence the following constraints:
WEEK 1: Constraints; NO Automatic, No Convertible, NO FAY dash, 1- Z07 pkg, 1 CFV/CFZ
THIS IS WHY DEALERSHIPS were calling people to get someone to order a Z07 this past week
WEEK 2: Constraints, No automatic, No convertible, No FAY dash, NO Z07, No CFV/CFZ
this goes on and on - although after my experience here - I am almost ashamed that I own several corvettes and to be associated with this ilk. Thank you to those that thought it would be fun to call names and attack someone just because you are closed minded and your first reaction is to reply with name-calling, it shows a huge lack of wisdom, intellect and social skills. Thank you for ruining my experience on this forum and recognizing why the general populace can't pass a 5th grade exam. And those of you that are and were welcoming (mostly sent by email) you are the pièce de résistance and in a league far higher than most - I guess I understand why you communicate privately instead of going on this forum.

My order number is alpha numeric.. it is not an "expensive" car and is a 7 speed coupe (msrp right at 90K)...the fact is I could change my order to include every option or make it a totally base Z and my order number would not change..
Please stop your dribble.... there are many of us who have been through this process multiple times. Listen to us instead of whoever is in your ear feeding you what you want to hear.

OH, WELL OK - he got his information from "a very reliable source" - and you guys who have been around for a gazillion years and know the Corvette ordering process inside and out, dared to question him . . .

That said, the order process for Corvettes hasn't changed in the years I've been following it (C4 days). So while some things may change, the order process hasn't.
Your event code is all that matters. You can believe me or not, I really don't care. But you're setting yourself up for a major bit of disappointment if you honestly think that your dealer managed to get an order past the "Dealer Order" phase before the first allocation drop. It doesn't work that way. It never has.
Good luck with your new car, whenever you get it. I'm sure it'll be fantastic. I'm tapping out of this thread.

I'm not sure if that "not a reliable source" slight was directed at me. if it was, I'd suggest looking at the title under my name, and note that I didn't put it there. The Corvette Forum admin did. They did that because I actually am considered a reliable source of information.

So, I guess you're not a "guy" Nicole as seen from your sig in your other thread, now closed. Oh well...it doesn't change the facts. I see from the first page of this thread that you are taking things all the wrong way from just about every poster on here---don't you see that?
After all, first you talk about very reliable source and then you say, "...I know that I am quoting a person and that it is not a reliable source but you are an quoting extremely old forum source-things do change sometimes.... "--which is it---very reliable or not reliable at all? And what led you to believe from your very reliable/not reliable source that everything has changed as of the the Z06 ordering process, or the C7 process which goes back to over 1 year ago?
On this forum you're dealing with some people who have some knowledge (or even a bit more than some knowledge), and others who have gone thru the process. And some of them are now going through it again---so they are in contact with salespersons who know what to do, and do it quite well. Otherwise, why would these customers go back to them? Answer: they wouldn't.
Stick around, learn a little more and like the very few who have been on C7 Gen in the past, come back and apologize.

it would not be a surprise that chevy placed the priority on fully optioned Z06 with Z07 and 3lz. they did this with the ZR1.
what does seem unlikely is that an A8 optioned Z06 with Z07 would be built early in the process. all A8 cars are delayed by a couple of months over the MN7 from what has been said on the forums.
one concern is that an A8 order might get bumped since only the MN7 is released for ordering. this could mean that all of the dealers allocations get used up for manuals and customers wanting the A8 lose out.
an example might be a dealer with 6 Z06 allocations. he might get 3 for release in the first week, the other 3 a few weeks later, and the A8 still not available for ordering. most dealers will move down their list of orders to the people wanting a manual trans rather than lose their ordering release slot.

And what are your last numbers in the order number? If it is a Z07 the Z07's will be built first - because they have to use the allocations to fill those packages first - those numbers tell you what position it will be on the production line.
I'm not going to apologize for anyone but instead welcome you to the C7Z06 Forum and hope this just gets put behind you so that you can enjoy your new Z06 along with the rest of us! By and large you will this this Community to be very tight knit and truly welcome those ready to join the Fraternity.....it sounds like you already own a few Corvettes so good for you! And if you have some good "inside" scoop based on your numerous Industry contacts and associates, by all means do share......just release that people will always be cautious when something out of the box shows up as "new information"

Quoting more extensively from the letter to dealers:
"First order submission for the 2015 Z06 in the Dealer Order Submission Process [DSOP] will be September 18, 2014. Please be aware that only Z06 Coupe with Manual Transmission will be available to order for this first DOSP cycle. We anticipate that both the 8-Speed Automatic Transmission and Convertible models will be available in 1-2 months after this first DOSP.
Furthermore, participating dealers should be aware of any other production constraints that may impact the ability to fulfill certain order configurations, and should avoid making commitments to customers until the allocation and constraints are available to the dealer in the weekly order placement cycle. Please monitor the weekly constraint guide for latest constraint status."

I did say that about the order process because I didn't want to name names or make someone else responsible if it weren't true. BUT I did point out that I was quoting a reliable source (not some dude sitting in his mommies' basement wishing he had a vette) with that being sad - I just wanted to share info and get info not be told I am a moron and I needed to do research because if you read all of the info I had posted you could see that there was a lot of research done!
You were given bad information (by someone you trust, obviously) which you then posted as fact. Many attempted to correct you and frankly, you are the one who got testy and nasty first. In the end, what you posted in this thread is incorrect...not incorrect in my opinion, just incorrect. At some point, you need to realize that you were given WRONG information and shoot the messenger, not forum members who are giving you CORRECT information. Most people on here (myself included) can tell you more about the order/allocation/constraint process than many dealers.

This dealer is obviously not aligned with GMs Z06 ordering, production schedule. No way, build date 9-15 and delivery mid-October.
