Good for you!
Congratulations.

That is great news....

the bad news is this.... the next 6 weeks will feel longer than the last 8 months.

Cool!

As one who has waited it out (not for a C7) to get exactly what I wanted, I applaud you for standing true. I well know how much easier it would be to accept what is at hand and not take a chance on getting what I wanted.

And also a tip of the hat for sticking with your dealer of choice.

Now, I can not recall your status, but if 3000 before the call then 3100 as of the call. That could be 3300 then 3400 next week with a TPW (I know converts are not getting TPWs for now) 04/14/2014 (optimistic but pure guessing) 3800 W/VIN the following week, minimum of two days to get on a car hauler and delivery to dealer 04/28/2014.

Pure guessing on my part of course. Can not conceive what the production number would be but expect it could be in the 22,000s.

Congrats.

Not holding out for the C7 of my choice and not being loyal to my dealer is sort of like not being true to your woman of choice of a rich family who promises you wonders to behold if you wait until she is ready, but instead you are impatient and jump at the next best thing because she is available, only later to regret it when you find out someone else eventually got your much more valuable woman of choice who has much more power, torque, chirp, squeal, and louder pipes when put pedal to the metal, or should I say, medal to the petal. I know, my bad! But, I am feeling really, really good right now after being Stingray-teased for so long.

Congrats! Your wait will be over soon and you'll have nice weather as well.

Congrats!

Ordered mine on Veteran's Day last year and it finally has a TPW of 14 April.

When she gets here, it's off to North Carolina. Tail of the Dragon baby!

Congrats Richard-I hope it arrives soon!

Congratulations!

I know you have been waiting for a long time. It will be everything that you have waited for......

Great news!! True, the next six weeks will seem longer than the prior wait. But now the light is starting to shine at the end of the tunnel.

I always see the start 1100. But how many days did you put the deposit down before you received the 1100 number?

I don't l know exactly how many days from order to 1100, but it has been months from 1100 to now where my C7 is scheduled to be born next week through C7aesarean Sections.
