Default FINALLY!!! So so close....

So today i found the car has been built (TPW was this week). My status is 4150 so now just waiting for them to put this baby on the truck and send him over. Feels like this was never going to happen.....

At 1st glance, I thought you got mine by mistake, but I see now yours is a HTC . Mine was built Tuesday 8/23. ELB, non-Z51, same wheels as yours with black calipers, same color interior as yours. Museum delivery Sept 15 for me.

We picked up our first Corvette at the museum in 2014. The tour and the corvette team of professionals at the museum and plant where outstanding. If, the full tour is available during the ordering process of our C8 ZO6 we will go that route. Otherwise local delivery and pick-up.

you have good taste my friend!! I kinda wish I’d done the museum delivery. HTC was mandatory for me. I too opted for no Z51 mainly bc I didn’t want the spoiler. Did you have the side accent panels painted blue too?

Didn't notice that on yours until now. No, I didn't order the body colored panels, but considered them. May be one of those things I wish I had ordered, but don't think I'll be too unhappy with the black.
