Not sure of the number but I put my name on the list in mid January sometime. If I get one I will want an X but I just might just be done with this generation car and hold for C9.in 2 years.

I was #16 on their list when LS called me last week. (since we are flexing and all. )

I ultimately passed, since MacMulkin had already been in contact with me weeks before and, once some issues resolved, placed the order with MM and have asked LS for my deposit back.

It seems like yesterday that the C8 was released to much fanfare, we are now entering the 8th model year for production

Hard to believe that we are just a few years away from a brand new model. Time has defiantly flown by.
