Intro
Hello all,
I just read the message that said I’m supposed to introduce myself here so you all know I’m a people and not a scammer 🤣.
Anyways, my name is Mike, I’m 32, and I’ve been a corvette fan for about 22 of those years, but not an owner yet. By the time I was able to afford one I’d want, I had my first kid, so for now I’ve been rocking a GT350, because car seats can fit in them!
Although that car has been a blast, I’m in awe of the C8 and hoping to eventually pick up a Zo6 which brought me here. I know I’m looking at a several year wait, but I’m trying to find a reputable dealer that will take a reservation (and actually get me a car before production ends), so if anyone has suggestions please let me know!

Welcome to the Forum, Mike, and best wishes with your C8 Z06 purchase process. You are correct, it will probably be an extended period to receive your order.
Gixxerman gave you a great lead with asking in the Regional Discussion for whichever area of the country you are in. Another area to check might be the C8 General Discussion section. Members there can probably also aid with the dealers they consider easiest/best with which to deal.
Best wishes with this!

Welcome to the forum. Here are the big three for C8’s:
Ciocca - Atlantic City, NJ
MacMulkin - Nashua, NH
Criswell - Gaithersburg, MD
Of course there are others out there that also get a number of allocations each year but the wait for any of them, including the above three, is going to be a long one, especially for a Z06. Best of luck in your quest for the car.
For more info on the C8 and the order process, check out the C8 section of the forum.
