Featured got my build week today

[Cobravenomous]

awesome! I think mine has an offline date of April 24.

Keep us posted! What colour-model did you order? Your avatar makes me believe you already own a Sebring Orange C-7 with personalized plates?

I didn't really get a good look at mine as the car was completely covered both outside and inside and I actually can't believe this, but I didn't even look to confirm my competition seats were there.....ha ha!

I ordered a grand sport in sebring orange with kalahari interior. those are my personalized plates. it's amazing what you can do with a photo editor! I am sure that you were just so excited it arrived early!

 

[Damo97]

Very nice!!!! I wonder if the plant is ahead of schedule? I was looking at the Kerbeck Corvette website as they have a tracker for the Corvettes they order. I noticed there were 2 Z06s with TPWs of April 22 that were close to my VIN. As of April 19, these 2 Z06s were at Event Code 4B00 - Bayed. So, they were produced, and were waiting to be delivered.

I am calling tomorrow to see what the status of mine is. Has a targeted roll-off date of April 23.

Very Nice.......I would like to see the Sebring Orange in person.....I think it's one of those colours that darkens in the evening......if so real sharp!

If I had to guess I would think you're correct with the factory being ahead of schedule.........my only regret is the factory being closed down for tours.......I would have really liked to have gone to see it being built or most likely opted for the photo package having a photo album of my car being built!

 

[Damo97]

I agree 100%!!!!! I heard about the plant tours, then figured next best thing would be the photo album. Was shocked to see that program was also temporarily shelved. I wonder what gives?????

probably setting up for C8 and don't want the secrets getting out

Good point SikRide.

Cobra,
I see you went with the chrome rims. I did as well; I also opted for the chrome badges vs. black. Salesperson mocked me a bit. Asked me if I wanted stripes on it. When I said no, he said, “I am pretty sure you can get them in chrome.” Then he started to laugh. Ah yes, the youth of today.

I went with the platinum painted rims. thought the black were too much. neighbor kid says to me that it's a sick ride but can't wait until I put a set of black rims on it..... hmmm... definitely the youth of today.

Salesperson asked me what it is with old guys like me and the affinity for chrome. I told him I wasn’t that old (47), and that he was not that much younger than me. Good guy....got a good rapport.

my sales person isn't a car "guy". great person, just let's me tell her exactly what I want without interference. I am very particular and want things done my way. a little anal that way.

There's nobody more anal than me....ha ha.......I'll take my wheels off to clean/wax the inside of my rims.......by the way try WD40....cleans up the inside of the rim like brand new factory......road grease wipes right off easily........

the dealer gave me this sheet today...said when they do their PDI and dealer install they just throw this sheet out......he said I know the way you are so take it now so it doesn't get thrown out.....and he said we'll keep everything for you.....I definitely want my window sticker......kept them for my last three cars ha ha

 

[Damo97]

You and me both!

I have ordered chrome rims on my last two Caddy's as well......I preferred the look of the Z06 10-spoke blade Pearl Nickel-painted aluminum, however I was leary of the fact that it stated "painted". I was fearful that at some point they may begin to peal, so I went chrome......black rims aren't for me.......and no I opted to stay with the black badging thinking it would contrast nicely with the deep red colour ........

I note you ordered Torch Red with the same chrome rims as me.......they are going to look very sharp! I also see that you ordered the 3LZ as well.......I also ordered the 3LZ too!

What roof option if any did you go with? I changed my original order from simply transparent to dual roof carbon fibre and transparent (thanks to fellow forum member recommendations)......it came with the transparent roof in the trunk and the carbon fibre on......the interior roof liner is black with diamond shape embroidery..........really sharp!

 

[Damo97]

I really liked the 3LZ interior. I love the quilted headliner and leather dash and door panels. I just went with the painted roof. I did however get the exposed carbon fibre front and side splitters.....and red seatbelts. Hahahaha!

The two options I struggled with were the carbon fibre hood and carbon fibre dash. Love them both, but ultimately decided to pass on them.

I thought the carbon fibre dash automatically came with the 3LZ trim level? Unless you're talking about something different, because mine has a carbon fibre dash!

 

[Damo97]

That’s ok then!!!
Carbon fibre dash is an $1100 option (the low gloss version).

No its an option as Damo mentioned. My 15 3LZ didn't have it.

You should see it listed in the option on your window sticker.
