Congrats on the order. I suspect it may go fast based on other posts and just reading about Z06 production at around 50 units/day....

My order history so far is:
  • ~18 month wait to get to Order
  • May 4th - Dealer placed my order (3LZ, Riptide Blue/Black, + a few options)
  • May 9th - Status was 3000
  • May 17th - TPW was set for June 3rd
I hope your order moves smoothly and can't wait to see pictures of your car!

It appears things are moving quickly with recent orders. Production is apparently at near steady 50 Z06's per day.

My experience so far has been:
  • May 4th - Dealer placed my order (3LZ, Riptide Blue/Black, + a few options)
  • May 9th - Status was 3000
  • May 17th - TPW was set for June 3rd
We will see if it gets built the week of June 3rd, but the above seems quick. At least one other post is about a May order process with similar dates.

My dealer also told me GM is using a new Transport service to get the cars on the way faster after they are built.

Time will tell.

Question for anyone with an opinion....My Order was 3000 as of 5/22 but no TPW yet. Seems like from what I've seen in a number of other instances, most people have received a TPW in about 8 days following 3000 status and its been 2 weeks for me. Should I read anything into that?

I would shoot Shane at the Corvette Museum a note - he can give you the TPW

CONGRATULATIONS YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE IT!! Beautiful spec, be careful on the 500 mi break in and vary rpms and follow the schedule. After that, oh my, are you in for a treat. Welcome to vette club, and when you see a vette of any generation, be sure to wave… #SAVE THE WAVE… Also, I highly suggest you consider joining the NATIONAL corvette caravan from all parts of the country to the Museum and Plant in Bowling Green KY the week of Labor Day. It’s the 30 year anniversary of the plant and the number of corvettes will be staggering… such a fun party and lots to do there at the racetrack at NCM Motorsports Park, drag strip at Beach Bend raceway, presentations by the engineers, no doubt they will have the new ZR1 on display… if you are able that would be the ultimate “corvette’ experience in “The Best Vette Yet”… Being your car is black I highly recommend PPF and full ceramic coat… If you are interested in joining a caravan to the NCM go to their website… Corvettemuseum.org. Here is the link reg the caravans… National caravan. I am 56, we have a 2023 Z06 HTC… we did the caravan back in 99 for the 15th anniversary and never in my life have I seen anything like it, before or since… helicopters in the air, corvettes as far as the eye can see, and what a party…. Good luck brotha.. Here’s a pic of mine…

Thank you for that post! Appreciate it! One thing that made me laugh, and as I've mentioned a number of times in previous posts, I'm really a huge wranger fan so I thought we were the only ones that waved to each other! LOL

Never been much of a speed guy, the Camaro is the first car that I've ever owned that has some horsepower...I'm really a Wrangler/Gladiator/CJ7/CJ8 guy and enjoy those in the summer months just cruising.

But the look of this car just spoke to me and I feel that this will be a collectable and possibly one of the last American muscle cars that come with the visceral goodness of the exhaust and the rumble of a big engine.

At 51, I guess I'm old school and I'm not a fan of anything electric when it comes to a sports car but that's just me.

I didn't go with the Z07 package or the ceramic breaks etc....for me those were more than what I would ever need and RI roads are god aweful so I just wanted a bit more "practicle" but with the look that I wanted.

Anyway, a few months from now I might be behind the wheel. I'm scared!! LOL

GoodLuck

Question about lowering....My build does not have the front lift and I plan on buying the lowering springs for both front and rear.

I do have a question based on what I've seen posted here and there...does the car have the ability to adjust the lowering as well and how is that done?

Looks like you got super-lucky as all the high rear wings were on constraint ~2 weeks ago when my dealer tried to submit. I had to drop the Z07pkg and I also could not get either aero pkg. Hope it sticks for you - the car looks great!
