I love this angle.




Not real C7R race car, just a car cover on our Procharged Z06 Convertible "For sale on Ebay."


968 WHP on pump gas..."Just a sales plug."

Red ZR1 on the way with a TPW of 7/23. It's starting to get real now that it's really going to happen.

My salesman extraordinaire said my order will go to 2000 status tomorrow and 3000 status by Wednesday and in about 10 business days should know the TPW...

OMG..I’m going to be a maniac waiting...

New to the C7 cars. What are the red paddles on the steering wheel in the pictures that MYKIL posted above? I know on an Auto car they are for shifting manually, but this looks like a manual car.

Apparently they are for Rev Match shifting. Only driven the car 6 miles and haven't used them yet. But not that we've spend 3 days and 7 hours cleaning and ceramic coating, I'm hoping to drive this weekend and play with it.

I'd bet sooner.

Ours went from 3400 to 4150 (Seemingly jumped over 3800...Maybe just didn't look) and was at 4200 6 days later at the dealer ship in Georgia in 1 Day...

Yes they are for rev matching which eliminates the need to heel / toe...I love the feature and drive with it engaged always...will also do so with my ZR1 when I get it

That woukd be awesome! I’m in Atlanta. My car is identical to yours except I have carbon flash mirrors!! Every other detail/option is exactly the same!

We like similar toys too—I have a 670SV and Super Trofeo Stradale (among some other things!).

Enjoy your ZR1!

How soon after 3000 did you go to 3400 - 4150?

It was at 3000 status for 3 months.
From 3400 to 4150 in two weeks.
4150 to 4200 and dealer in 7 days

Not sure if that's typical, but it was my time table. I was able to get my order confirmed in late Dec 2017. So Total time was Approx 7-Months.

But...I was told, because it was a manual, I'd be waiting longer because of the demand for auto(s). Don't know how much validity there is to that.

They weren’t even up and running with producing ZR1’s then which was most likely a big part of your wait...I’m thinking (and hoping) it goes somewhat quicker now...I’m getting a 7 speed as well...only way to go in my opinion...
