Told by Lorenzo Bomnin order will take 2-3 months. Is that too optimistic?
I ordered last night a z51 1lt C7. At first they told me it would be 8 weeks. Later they said three months. After I got home I started reading these forums and it says people are waiting 6-9 months. WTF? They are the #16 vette dealer in the country, with 72 sales last year. Is 3 months a possibility or are they jerking me around?

Within 3 months is a probability. My guess based on spending too many years following this process so I like to think it is an educated guess.

Ordered mine July 23 from Lafontaine and GM hasn't even accepted the order yet , so, 2-3 months doesn't apply to me.

That would mean it isn't really ordered. The dealer has submitted what they'd like to order, but without an allocation, it isn't actually ordered yet. |

Ahhh, gotcha. Thanks for the good news . With cold weather/winter approaching, I guess no rush anyways.

Until you get a code of 2000, GM has no idea what or who you are....

Your not alone my friend... I finally made it to 1100 after having placed a deposite months ago... The comp sport seats really put a BIG hold on things...

I was extremely lucky and reached the "completely produced" - "built" stage in, would you believe, 6 weeks? Now the car has been sitting out in the BG side lot for almost 3 weeks. Who can figure? It's a roller coaster. Still in all, and considering what I have been reading, I am lucky, I guess? When the New Year rolls around .... I may feel different and the same as many others.
PS: Only a short while back I would have never thought I would ever pay MSRP. But, compared to my C6 4LT, that I bought new at discount, - when you compare all C7 mechanical, electrical and trim upgrades/improvements ..... The C7 Z51 is cheaper priced at MSRP! |

Heard from the dealer. They said I am their 21st preorder this year. I don't know what that means but I told the the internets suggest I would be held up for 6 months or more and the rep told me "not here". I am hoping they can push it through. Such a sweet car. Will call the dealer vette specialist next week.

And what this means is the Stingray may be exceeding expectations as far as consumer interest. In my opinion, a good thing. There was a time when Chevy sold over 40K Corvettes each model year. That time was decades ago. Not even the C6 in its best year reached 40K. I think it would be nice if C7 breaks 40K this model year. Not likely but a fanboy can dream! Laborsmith |

I ordered on 6-26.My allocation came up today finally, but no Z51. I'm not sure what's going to happen from here. I guess I will know for sure on Tuesday. I'm not going to order a non Z51 car.
