Well guessing as of 5PM EST MY TR Z is still sitting in the BG Lot
Guessing she has 2 miles on it and 3 gallons of gas in her!!!
Guessing She's got 31lbs on left side tires and
32lbs on right side (sunny side)
With all Mag reviews held off until week of the 23rd.
Mr. Hendrick getting his car week of 1st.
I feel safe to say they will start shipping next week. Following week at MOST!!!!
Mind you, these are just guesses!

It's a small thing, but his name is not Hendricks. It is Hendrick without the trailing "s". Those of us in this extended family like to point out that the "Hendrick" clan is ultimately Scandinavian, descended from a 17th Century English family, and completely unrelated to the Dutch-origin "Hendricks" clans. Similar names but quite different.

All the best.

Something will have to happen soon. After tomorrow's shift there will be about 820 Z's out back in addition to the Stingrays that are awaiting shipment. With Approximately 90 Stingray's being built every day and typically a week to get those loaded onto a truck that would mean there is somewhere in the neighborhood of 1250 cars in the back lot as of tomorrow. Capacity is 1500. The 5 days that production will stop due to the holiday will undoubtedly clear some of the Stingray inventory out, but at 80 Z's per day real estate in the back lot will quickly dry up.
My guess is cars will start shipping sometime during the first week of December.

I was at the plant yesterday and I will agree the lot is very close to full. The line was about 50% Z06s and the rest Z51s. I don't think I saw a single base car on the line. Saw many
vert Z06s as well.

It sure seemed like more than 55 yesterday. Lot of places there were three or four Z06s together then a couple of Z51s them another group of Z06s. At 180 total cars per day there must have been more than 55 yesterday,
