Good morning my dealer told me yesterday that there is a delay on getting my z06. Does anyone know what is going on?

Did your dealer get an allocation for your car & is the order in the system?

Most likely quality hold. Can be up to two weeks plus or minus. Mine SR wasn't in the hold but for a couple of days. Also could be transport availability. Patience is key at this point. Congrats on getting this close. Many aren't there yet.

My Z06 was delivered to the dealer late December 2023. If it was on quality hold for more than a millisecond I'd be absolutely shocked. Furthermore if any quality person looked at my car they must have been blind. Enogu said about the disaster. Never saw such garbage even when I bought a "$2.00 car a hundred years ago". Whoever is the quality manager at Bowling Green should have been fired long ago. As an engineer and a car fanatic I could spot the problems a mile away.

Mine sat for about a week from when it was produced to when it was put on a truck.

I spent four hours in there watchmaking them assemble the cars....the quality stations were not manned....This was a few years ago but I'm pretty sure its status quo....

Mine sat for 2 weeks on QC hold...I'd rather they find a problem and have it resolved there at the plant than have it show up at the Dealership and find the problem there!

I too would guess a quality hold for some issue, and if so, hopefully just a short one.
