Would they still disqualify them, or just use the time from the wire into the proper account? Guess we will never know

Those that did a few seconds before 12:00 might have a big problem. I actually considered it, but thought its not worth the chance.

I can guaranty they set up a separate account number for the Z06. Those jumping the gun had the correct routing but different account number.

Not necessarily. Most banks didn't send the wires right away (including Chase, which I used), so sending it even a few minutes before 12:00 might have been the difference between being number 50 and number 800.

That is apparently not true.

I'm staring to sound like a broken record, but what's missing from there is Ciocca''s receipt time, in their account. We just know when M&T received it. Could have (likely?) posted to their account seconds (or milliseconds later). Could have posted hours later. Could the order M&T post it to the account be slightly different from when they received it? These things we don't know. It is unlikely Ciocca will run a trace on every wire to see when it was received by M&T, they'll go by when it hit their account.

It would be kinda fun if there was an element of luck or randomness to this.

Very surprising. I would think that this would be enough of a cluster f**k without mixing the stingrays up in there. You can rest assured that the guys at Ciocca probably anticipated
virtually ever way of cheating. Lord knows they had enough time to work on it. As I posted before, we'll all find out on Monday.

Yes we will, but it's so much fun to speculate endlessly until then

Right on brother. That's what make it fun! I'm sure if the truth is known, the buyers that cheated and got away with it is a very small number.

With this much demand and this many people playing, I wouldn't be surprised if it was as high as 50-100.

50-100? I would be elated - I am hoping for anything < 300.

No, I was saying 50-100 who cheated to get in exactly at 12:00 (to 12:01 let's say). If my 12:02 wire (which said it was sent at 12:10) gets me a number under 500, I will be elated.

I for one, am not going to fret what number I am on the list! I was on their site promptly at noon, filled out the form info and sent a picture of my license to the email requested, all in about 10 minutes of time. I then went to the bank with my completed wire transfer form and the wire form was checked and approved. I left the bank with my receipt at about 12:40. My credit union only sends the wire at 11 AM,1 PM and 3PM. So I assume it was sent at 1PM. I did everything I could to do get this done ASAP. Now like everyone else, I have to wait and see what number I am on Ciocca's Z06 list. If I am at 600 or more....I will request a refund because that would make me 2 or 3 years away. By that time who knows.....

My guess is your number will be 1068. Let's see what Monday brings.

Looking forward to hearing where I am - my allocation for a Stingray will be here in a week or 2 - have to decide that to do with that. I intended this to be my forever car. If the Z06 number is 1-2 years have to decide whether to cancel the Stingray or try to flip it. I hate the idea of flipping it…
