I have 100% verified CTF Z06’s are out and running but unlike today, do not have actual pictures to show for them. And more are arriving in Michigan this week (confirmed also). As to more factual info and also and predictive info as to what is coming where , it is out there but I am prohibited here from saying any more (not even in PM’s) because my full time home is elsewhere if you catch my drift.

Is this the first one verified as a CTF vehicle?

Based on CTFs being out there now, How long from now until production, give or take?

Integrity and confidentially triumph all — at all times! Also Harlan committed and he is a man of his word, that there will be a good amount of time between the Z06’s pricing being released and initial Z06 orders going in, adding that “no one will order price blind.” More info on the other forum.

In talking with the gentleman working the Z06 display in Jersey on Friday, I asked the million dollar order question. His response was to expect orders to begin mid to late July with October deliveries. I realize he is not GM, but he did seem more plugged in that a typical “show rep”. Just another hunch, but seems inline with current events.

If accurate, seems like a pretty big miss on GM's part. Delivering the highest performance variant right in time for a good chunk of buyers to put it in storage for 6 months.

Time to absorb the massive owners manual, upgrade 🛞 wheels, and accessorize for spring… maybe put it up in blocks to run off the 1000 miles to unlock the max motor rpm… 😆

Why would the Californians put it in storage? They keep revealing the cars out here...must be a reason for that.

So we won't be able to actually start to order them until 2023. Good job, GM. Brilliant folks over there. No wonder they needed that bailout.

Because no one else in the US buys them & the biggest Vette dealer isn't in NJ?

I spoke to the driver of this car. We talked about it being CTF no. 9 and he said his will be a higher number. He said that he will be getting a Red Mist CTF next week and that he borrowed this one from a co-worker to bring to Watkins Glen.

Living in Minnesota, I have never once received a new sports car during any time of year other than winter...
