And welcome to the forum. Lots of good info and BeckyD will track your assembly progress in her stickied thread. You do need to ask each time you want an update.

KellyJ in the Chevrolet Customer Care office is on top of this area also and since her family has owned (and still owns) Stingrays from past decades she has a good handle on a Corvette owners thinking.

Laborsmith,
This dealer is definitely not a superdealer and I almost argued with them that it seemed impossible to meet such an aggressive timeline. They stated that they only had the one Z51 allocation and I grabbed the chance to order the "perfect" car the way I wanted it. Gave them a $1000 deposit and they assured me that they would have the car by 12/30.

I figured that there might be an outside chance since they seemed so sure. So, I sat there and watched them code the order and submit it. What will be interesting is the fact that they put it in writing on the purchase order.

Who knows, maybe I can use it as a negotiating tool for some sort of discount or some free swag if they don't meet the deadline

Thanks,
Cliff
