Default Museum Delivery Must Do?

Museum Delivery of my Z06 this Wed Jan 3rd. Any advice? Would you recommend the plant tour before or after? I'm leaning towards doing the tour first.

Done in this order: Breakfast at Waffle House, plant tour, vehicle check out/parade drive, museum tour, Corvette store (you get a discount). You will be done by 3-3:30 and probably remember 50% of everything😄

NCM R8C delivery is a must providing you can work it into your schedule. I have done two so far and plan on doing a third for a C9 or C8 Z-06.

My appointment was in the morning. So I did the orientation then, factory tour around 1pm, lunch after, and then I walked through the Museum.
I'm assuming you have an appointment, so if your appointment is like 1pm, then you are doing the factory tour prior to orientation-assuming you want to do the factory tour which I recommend.
Have fun!

9AM, you'll need a full day, the factory tour will be right after your car rolls out to the lot and is parked (by you). You can take at least 2 to 3 hours to get your car delivered and parked outside.
I got back from the factory tour (nearly 2 hours) and still had time to eat in the Stingray Grill and hit the gift shop.
I did the museum the previous morning and easily spent a couple hours there.
I did not do the track, I literally ran out of time and was really planning on driving it out of Kentucky the very next day.(which I did)
My delivery was early, I was walking in there at 8:30 and I will never forget that day as long as I live, it is a very special event and the staff really makes it great.

Once you have the time, and the car location, send that info to your friends, along with the museum camera link so they can watch you get a new C8 delivered.

Got to Bowling Green about 3 pm, went to the Museum and got the tour out of the way. Next morning got the car, plant tour and lunch at the Stingray Cafe.

Who knows if plant tours will be an option any given day. They seem to be very on-&-off, at least of late.

Check the cameras the afternoon before and you could see your car on the Boulevard waiting on you. Mine was on camera 1. They take the cameras down each night so look before then. I suspect you will get your car first, park it outside in one of the Corvette Only spaces, do the factory tour, and then it's up to you. Lunch at the cafe was good. Congratulations.
