Just ordered a C6 Coupe, Z51, Manual, Nav. Monterey Red with Ebony Interior about a month ago. I have been informed that it has a build date of March 12th. The anticipation is almost unbearable. I will try and post photos. Hope it stops snowing by the time she arrives.

Welcome! Our's is Monterey Red with black interior as well. It's really a beautiful color combination. We get compliments on the car all the time. When you get into your new car to take that first drive, it will make all the waiting worth every minute!

Nice order!! I have the save set-up. People actually come up to me and compliment the car a lot. Welcome to the Forum, they're great for getting up to speed on all Vette things and you will also meet a lot of new friends.

Thank you for the warm welcome - my build day is March 12th and I am heading up tp Ottawa on that day for business in my wife's car. The trip is about 700km and I wish I had the Vette as it would be a great break-in cruise.

Steve.
