Z06 Dealer Tour
GM is starting dealer tours of the Z06 first week in Feb. I learned that it will be at Connell Chevrolet April 4th and 5th. So might want to add to your calendar if you haven't already seen it.

Is there a master list of states, dealers & dates?
I'd love to see one in person.

I just reached out to Abel Chevrolet in Rio Vista. Hopefully they're on the list as the car moves north from Connell (or south from wherever)

Got an email response back from Abel in Rio Vista. They said the cost to participate in that program is high and since they are sold out of the Z06 for basically the next six years at least, they had no interest in spending the money to do it.
Figured it was a GM thing personally for advertising. Had no idea the dealers each had to pay for it.

got basically the same response from dealer in NJ that did dealer tour for Stingray. They booted everyone off the Z06 list right after reveal and are going to bid out their allocations after the owner, GM and SM keep one for themselves. Since they are sold out beyond what they could sell no sense to spend the money. you would think Chevy/GM would reward dealers that did pay for the tour with add'l allocations as an incentive. Kind of obnoxious to drum up interest in car that is going to be exceedingly difficult to get for 2 years or more. "thanks for coming in sir, glad you are interested in the Z06. If you want to give us $5,000 we can get you one in 2027." lol
I ultimately withdrew my deposit when bankruptcy rumors starting swirling around the company my wife worked for at the time. She eventually ended up with a better job here in the windy city, but by that time I had decided to wait for the Z06, and we put down a deposit with McMulkin for one in Feb of 2020. I'm curious, did they at least honor their MSRP deals on their base C8 customer orders?

I'm assuming it will be at the New England Auto Show mid January so if it were at the auto show and MM I'd just go to the the auto show. I wonder if they're thinking the same thing. Plus, at the auto show you can get liquor and when I went to see the Stingray and had 3-4 drinks in me it was even better. Can't do that at MM and I love MM

Most dealers would be brain dead to do the Z06 Dealer Tour if they have to spend $20k for one or two days because of the limited availability of the car if they typically use the tour as a sales generated. If they want to invite their best customers to a private showing this may be the way to go if they sell enough Z06s to enhance the customer buying experience. However, with the way the car business is today most dealers don't give a "rip" about the customer buying experience.
