Just spoke with a Corvette team manager in Michigan. They confirmed our cars will not be held due to the tires, thanks to improvements from Michelin.
Unfortunately, we’re still receiving shipment by rail, so we can still expect a lengthy delivery process.

Read the last screenshotOne thing I noticed in the email exchange... the Z51 package tires are not 3 Season they are High Performance Summer Only Tires....any chance that they were only referring to the Non-Z51 Tires as they were described in the email exchange as the 3 Season tires?
Cheers,
Kevin
Okay Cool.. I saw that you had put the 3 Season comes with the Z-51 in which it is the Summer Tire.Read the last screenshot
No?^^^ Hey aren't you the same guy that said the high wing price in Canada was wrong?
Miracle Whips expedited shipping?
Toronto...I'll pick ya up at the terminal
Lets hope they have some more info in hand than the folks in Montreal did, they were pretty much just there to hand out pamphlets and look good. Maybe have some real informed GM Reps there.I’m already here. Flying to Edmonton tonight though lol. My cousin will be talking to GM. He’s in the industry and will be at the preview tomorrow night.
If there is a convertible there could you get some close up pictures of the Nacelles? I am trying to see if there is a separation line between them and the rest of the rear as I am thinking it there is I would like to wrap it rather than have to order the Carbon Flash Nacelles and Roof.I’m at the VIP event tomorrow between 10am - 12noon before it opens up to the public. I’ll see if I can get some info on shipping times and whatever else comes to mind.
I just got this reply from GM USAAwesome. My cousin is a partner in a large auto group and will be getting some face time with GM execs during the VIP event tomorrow evening.
He’s not promising anything but he’ll see if anyone in the marketing team can get the cars here earlier.

Hello Kevin,
We can confirm that the Z51 Performance Tires will not have an issue with cracking due to the cold weather up north. In regards to the 2020 Corvette Convertible, the Tonneau is one large panel with the nacelles.
If you have any additional questions, please feel free to reply directly to this email as we are more than happy to help!
This is very interesting.
