View Full Version : Ordered the new one today.
With the Cruiser gone, I needed a new toy and to stay in the Corvette Community of which I've grown fond.
Ordered this today.
Night Race Blue/Yellow Calipers/Kalahari Interior/3LT trim/Z51/NPP exhaust and broke down and got the paddle shift A6 which will be tuned. I should see it towards the end of March which is fine with me.

She's gorgeous! I'd get the same combo, but in a 'vert of course! :lol:
:drool:
Took Mrs. WKMCD up to Criswell's where it's ordered. She had never seen the C7. Mike Furman was great and opened up one so we could sit in it and play with all the knobs and buttons. She loved it and insisted that I add the carbon fiber dash option.
There was a special moment where she told Mike that it was at her insistence that I get the C7 when I was at first thinking of buying a 2013 Grand Sport.
She's a keeper! :seasix:

Not yet. Waiting for a Z51 allocation. Should be ordered in the next two weeks or so and delivery approx. 6 weeks later.

Congrats.
FINALLY!!!!! My order got picked up by GM yesterday. 4-6 weeks I should pick it up. :hurray::hurray::hurray:
It took so long to order I ended up changing my mind on a few things. Mrs. WKMCD really hated the Kalahari interior and I realized that the lighter brighter colors show off the car's lines better.
I went full pimp. :)

Torch Red with Black 3LT Interior
Gonna look good. Just canceled mine with Criswell, I was 23rd in line for a Z51, the list waiting for an allotment. Townsend Bros Chev (folks I want to purchase from) just called and said they just received ONE Z51 allotment ready to order, soooo order is in, 8 weeks, give or take.

I used the dealer you first mentioned back in December. I was told late March delivery and as time approached, I was told that was always an order date even though I had email saying delivered. Bud's in Ohio took care of me and $1k off the old MSRP on a Z51.

So you've got a few weeks to order a blower for it. :seasix:
You might as well do it now, because you know just those modest 450 horses will NOT be enough for you. :D

I ended up going to Kerbeck for mine since I would just now be in the que at Criswell. Mine is built, just waiting for the call from Kerbeck to come get it.
Torch Red, Comp seats with microfiber inserts, and of course, Z51

Hey Norm, how far are you from Annapolis?
Hey Norm, how far are you from Annapolis?
Let's see, my house to Kent Narrows, 55 minutes, to Annapolis, another 20 maybe. Sometimes, I meet Phil at Harris' or Fisherman's Inn at the narrows, about the halfway point for the both of us. What you got in mind, food?
I'm there.:D
Crab season is coming up. We usually go to Cantler's but let's get Phil and hookup at the Narrows. It will have to be on the weekend. Some of us still have jobs. Someone has to pay for the people who don't want to work.

Won't be long now. Unfortunately, I wasted MONTHS relying on the first dealer. We're actually looking forward to flying into Ohio and making the 7.5 hour drive home. I promised Mrs. WKMCD this will not be one of my world record attempts for the drive...as most of our trips are. :)

I'm also naïve enough to believe that car will stay just the way it was built by GM.

Checked the tracking site first thing this morning. Production is complete on the car. Fingers crossed it make it to the dealer by the 17th. It only has to go from Kentucky to Ohio so I think it might make it.
WOOHOO!!!!!
:party::party::party:
Congrats. Have a fun ride back with it.:seasix:
WHOOHOO! It showed up at the dealership this morning. Flying in Saturday to pick it up.
Have fun! :seasix::lilred:

I finally picked up the TR Z51 3LT A6 coupe yesterday. When I first saw it in the Corvette Room at Bud's Chevrolet my first thought was "That's a whole lot of red." I absolutely love it. It's definitely the brightest colored car I've had. The color heads up make it much more apparent and usable than the monochrome. The sound system is acceptable and I doubt I'll replace that which is usually one of the first things I do. I have the NPP which is nice but still very quiet even in sport and track modes. Ride quality with the Mag Ride is excellent. I stayed in touring mode most of the time but did use manual so I could vary the speed on the 540 mile drive home. Love the smaller steering wheel. GM got that right this time. The seats are vey comfortable for my 6'3" 180lb frame. Controls were easy to use but I'm still learning.
40 miles from home I noticed the break-in rev limited was gone so I gave the car a small test. I was impressed! Coming from a 575RW 427 M12 3.90 C5 I was concerned that I would miss the neck snapping jolt. I did but the C7 is a different animal. The C5 was my boy racer and this is a much more grown up car if that makes sense. I think I'll be happy for a couple months anyways. The plan is to throw an Eforce blower on it this winter.
Bottom line for me, there are not a ton of things that I feel I need to improve on. The suspension works, the interior is comfortable, the power is adequate for now.
Tom from Bud's was great to deal with and highly recommended! :hurray:
Really well done GM! :seasix:
Gorgeous! :seasix: Will see if we can hook up in a few weeks or so, Phil's on the mend from his surgery.
