Default When do they start building??

So I did this nonsense at the end of 2013 with my Z51 Stingray
Now on list "supposedly" for first allocation run for Zo6

If first wave of allocations are Thursday (9/18) does anyone know when the builds are starting??

I read where last week's consensus had TPW's of Oct 27th. If that is accurate it would seem that Nov 3 will be the day.

Was in the Plant this last Friday
I spotted one car under the watchful eye of a Plant Manager with a rear brake vent
on the body
Assuming it was a Z06 I asked him if it was a company build
His answer was "no...this is one of the first z06 production cars that will be available for sale to the public"

Someone here stated 5-6 weeks after the consensus closes. I asked the question "can the plant start the new build at anytime in the near future,say Dec 1st". I still don't know if production always begins 5-6 weeks after the consensus closes.
