Now to come up with the $200K. I have been 1st C7Z06 and C8 in Calgary so here is hoping!

You have the first C7Z06 and the first C8 in Calgary? What dealer got you those cars?

 

[DenisC8]

it has started. Today Sept 22 at list 3 z06s were built

 

[amit916]

They should pause on all Z06s until I get my C8...

 

[Gilles27]

They needed to build those 3 so there "late summer delivery" was accurate, waited till the last day of summer

I'm skeptical about that. At the very least they are not customer order cars. I'd rather wait until Corvetteblogger or John from midengine confirms it.

according to corvette blogger, it is true

They are customer cars.

They are customer cars.

Ya, I believe it now that Keith Cornett has confirmed it. It makes sense they'd start slow. Likely Hendricks number 00001 and whomever's, 2 &3

 

[Murray20c8]

John on midengine confirmed 3 Z06's. 2 of them were 70ths

 

[2020C8#49]

Any other Z06's built since the 3?

3 more. They will sprinkle them in over the next few weeks. They are scrutinizing each customer Z06 at the moment just to be sure.

 

[2020C8#49]

Scrutinizing each customer? Are they worried if we are flipping the cars? I really what is going on? Is it a part shortage or something else?

Probably meant scrutinized each car. It's their halo car- can't have major problems off the start!

 

[Murray20c8]

It reads properly. Each "customer Z06" is checked over and held for at least 2 weeks to make sure there are no issues requiring a tech to fix. They prefer to do it there than have a dealer do it. They do that with every new release. It happened with the Stingray coupe and HTC as well.

 

[Rruuff Day]

Hmmmm... I wonder what checks they do for 2 weeks on every car that comes off the line and sits in the storage lot...

 

[2020C8#49]

Probably want payment from the dealership first before they ship. The costs for the Z06's are crazy!

 

[Murray20c8]

They don't check them when they sit, but they wait until many have gone through the line before shipping. They've done that with every new Corvette supposedly. I know they did it with the Stingray coupe and then the HTC. I think the mandatory Stingray coupe hold was like 4 to 6 weeks. It filled the lot before they started shipping.
