Saw the Fed Ex truck pull away from the house today, and got a bit excited - package for me, and on the shipping label, it showed Torch Red and HTC....

Well, 2 weeks short of 3 years, I finally received the speed model. Very thrilled!

Saw a few days ago, another member posted receiving his from his 2026 purchase .....not gonna lie - was a bit jealous.

Very clever packaging and presentation. Lot smaller than I thought it would be.

I know most of you have already got yours, and the novelty has worm off, but I am just chuffed to get mine. Now if only the weather could cooperate, and get suny, and up to 25 degrees...

25? You need it that hot to put the top down?

Wow, you beat me, beat me, mine only took 28 months, congrats.
 
I will give you more hope then. I first called GM Canada 6 months post delivery and they confirmed to me twice over the following 6 months that I was definitely on the speed model “fast track” list. So anytime I saw the Fed Ex truck in the neighborhood I thought could it be my day. Nope, no sir no cigar, so I didn’t forget about the gift I just stopped thinking about when I might receive any of the 2 models I was expecting. My son received his speed model 5 months after taking delivery from the largest C8 dealer in BC of his 2025. Fast forward to today, so I am outside at my buddys place a block away from home and I see a Fed Ex truck drive by. I did think for a split second maybe? But then common sense got the better of me and I went back to the conversation. So I get home come through the garage and walk by the front door. Sure enough a box is outside leaning up against the door. Still not thinking anything about it because my daughter has Amazon working for her full time delivering parcels here almost daily like Hannukka is a 365 day deal. Anyway, I pick it up and see the familiar sticker showing a portion of one of my VIN’s. So after 18 months the speed model for my 2023 arrived. Now I am just waiting on the model for my 2024. This coming spring my son and I will return to Spring Mountain driving in the Level 1 two day school. If you are eligible for the Corvette Owners School as a new C8 owner the COS which you are offered at a substantial discount is a highly recommend driving experience if you can make it happen.
