Stingray in Plant City are already taking deposits, but, MM gets so many more cars that they are probably a better bet. Stingray is probably going to let existing Z06 reservations slide over first, then their Future Variant list (I’m on that), so they may already have 400 on their list.

Looks like only locals that can walk in will get on the list first. Too bad they cant take those zelle instant transfers to give the rest of the 49 states a chance.

This will be interesting to see consumer response to the Eray. Bet it will be a lot like the Z06 was and plenty of names on a waiting list.

So send a check by mail that will take 1-4 days to arrive. On February 2nd and for several days after, a stack of a 500 envelopes gets delivered and you just hope yours is one of the first ones to be opened and recorded? Seems primitive. This will be interesting.

MM's notice states that deposit instructions will be emailed on Jan 31st, so they are probably including some requirement that you would not fulfill if you mail out your check ahead of time. Could be as simple as requiring you to print out and mail in a copy of that email.

No one knows the amount or the wire instructions so that is what we will learn at a minimum on the 31st !

Since they are only going to allow check deposits for the time being, wire instructions would not be a consideration.

No- he is right. They already said no wires. I specifically asked if it includes 2/1 too.
