Pulled the trigger today!
Sig says it all. 
Now I have to keep my fingers crossed that I can get an allocation and a TPW that lets me bring it to the Cruise-In...

), and have been favoring returning customers. So, if they get the same allocation for the second half of the model year run, and no one else sneaks in front of me, then sometime around March, maybe? Or maybe a little later to allow for build and delivery time.My hope is to get it after the snow departs, and before the Cruise-In (preferably enough before that I can have it nicely broken in and ready to party
). I'll know more when the allocation letters come out in the next week or two.

[QUOTE=Just J]I can only guess. According to my sales guy, the dealer (Stasek Chevrolet, to answer Stilcrazee's question) has "4 or 5" deposits against upcoming allocations. According to the same source, they had 11 allocations for the 1st half of the year. They've been selling at MSRP only (not over, and certainly not under ), and have been favoring returning customers. So, if they get the same allocation for the second half of the model year run, and no one else sneaks in front of me, then sometime around March, maybe? Or maybe a little later to allow for build and delivery time.
That is awesome MAN who freakin exciting!!! I talked to a STASEK dealer a BLOOM. GOLD and they told me they would sell me a new Z for sticker no problem and I was not sure if they were yanking my chain and glad to see that they were not!!!!
Best of luck and ENJOY in good health!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's interesting how different the dealers are. I called Foley Chevrolet in Northbrook, because they had a silver one on the floor that I wanted to look at, on the morning of the same day and spoke to their Internet Sales Manager. He said they're firm at $15k over list. When I asked when he thought they'd take orders at MSRP, he said "not for years". Stasek said that they want to build repeat business so they never do that kind of markup, though they of course were quite firm that they weren't going below MSRP on the Z06.
It probably will pay off for Stasek in my case. If I decide to break with tradition and get some kind of beater for those extremely rare occasions when the Vette isn't the right car for the job, I'll probably deal with Stasek.

I'm not planning any spring track events due in part to the impending vehicle transition but mostly due to another spring of weekend implementations at our facilities around the country. In fact, it was that tracking hiatus that drove the timing of this move (rather than waiting one more year).
But I hope like hell to make Oktoberfast (Badger Bimmers) and the MFBA fall event at RA - I can't wait to turn the Z loose on those long straights.
