Frustrated
I need to know if I'm just being impatient or if I have reason to be worried. I placed my Torch Red with black interior ZO6 September 8th and I am still at status 1100 without my order being accepted by GM. I don't think any part of my order should be causing a delay: 2LZ, 7-speed, CFZ, painted roof, standard GT seats, nav, black wheels. Anyone else have an order placed a month ago that has yet to be accepted? I keep seeing posts about people getting moved to 2000 and 3000 fairly soon after placing their order and I'm just wondering why mine would be taking so long.

Dealers may tell you they have an allocation, but they are most likely just talking about one of their promised cars for the model year run. This DOES NOT mean they have an actual allocation for the current consensus cycle. You won't move to 2000 until they do. Good luck, could be a while.

The dealer's allocation will be spread over time between now and 2Q2015. You and most of the rest of us are waiting until our dealers get approval to place our orders with GM. Some of us will have orders accepted in October and some in as late as April or so. Best to speak directly with whatever manager is doing the ordering and ask for the straight story.

I wouldn't get too bent out of shape just yet. Not one Z has been produced, and there will be AT LEAST one more consensus cycle before production begins.
Last year a bunch of us were all fired up waiting for the Stingrays, watching event codes, talking to customer service, and bothering our dealers. It's an exciting time for Corvette owners. In a short time, we will all have our cars.
As mentioned above, the allocation your dealer has may come next week, or next summer. I don't know if they actually know when they get it. My dealers single allocation came in the first round, and my order was accepted without any constraints.... Which surprised all of us.
Don't be frustrated, be happy that we all can even buy one of these things!

There is nothing to be frustrated about. There have been 2 consensus cycles so far. Based on estimated production of 15-20% that means about 600 orders have been accepted. Your dealer should have received an email stating exactly how many 2015 Z06's they would receive. If you are really worried that something is up ask him to show you the letter. There is no guarantee when a dealers allocation will be pulled. Obviously the big dealers are getting multiple orders pulled each cycle due to their huge volume. I am still at 1100 at a small dealer. I'm number 1 of their 2 cars for MY 2015. I am hoping that I will be pulled soon, but I also realize that it could be months as well.
BTW, the next consensus is this coming Thursday (oct 9)

Your dealers work bench will show them their allocation and if the can place a order against it. Make them show u the work bench screen. To many dealers playing games these days.
Don't stress to much. My order last year for my 2014 C7 Z51 order didn't go in till the second consensus and I got my car the first week of October. Way before most whom were in the 1st consensus pull. I was VIN: 1545

Another thing to consider is that not all allocations can be used to order a Z51 car. The dealer may have an allocation but some of them may be for ordering a base coupe or convertible.
