LONGEST WAIT FOR A C7

I believe I hold the record for the longest wait for a C7. Chevy accepted my order on August 17, 2013 and it arrived at my dealer on May 7, 2014. That is 233 days, but who's counting.

That is almost 9 months waiting for the birth of my C7. (Pregnant Pause). I know there has to be a fitting joke here. Anyone got one? (please keep it nice with no nastiness).

Can anyone beat 233 days of wait?

172 days here.

Five of those because of rain so it sat inside the dealership from April 28 through May 2nd.

I'm currently "only" at 157d, it's at 3800, but seems to be stuck there. Hopefully I'm not staring down 200+ days.

From the day I put my deposit down (February 11, 2013) to rhe day I took Museum Delivery (October 4, 2013) was 236 days. It felt like twice as long but well worth it! The worst was the 5 weeks after it was built - as it was in the first week of production, they held it for a very thorough QC inspection, which seems to have been worth the wait. I've had no problems to speak of with 11,000+ miles on it!

You beat me by 3 days and so far that makes you are the unofficial record holder.

My dealer had told me to expect a minimum 9 month wait so these numbers are reassuring.
