Default Nice surprise today!

I put my deposit down back in April of 2019 on an Arctic white 2LT Z51, got my 2000 status and TPW of 4/20 a few weeks ago. But I just got an email from the Corvette Concierge that my car went to 3400 status today with a TPW of 2/17!! Got my VIN #733 what a great day!!! 🙌🙌

Congrats! BTW, it's TPW (Target Production Week), not TBW.

I checked with my Concierge this morning an they've removed the TPW from my order, originally 4/27, then moved to 4/20. Still at 3000. He said they were making some adjustments but wouldn't elaborate. So I'm hoping for my own nice surprise of an even earlier TPW.

Wow, to go from 4/20 to 2/17..........that's just unbelievably good news, most would view a week sooner as a big positive. Congratulations and keep us posted!
