i have 2LT Z51 manual - silver/black
on it's way - 2/13 TPW too

the wait is long on some days.... still working on a mod list...
so far:

splash guards (pipe's ones)
colgan color bra and mirror covers (my '03 S10's front end is wasted)
B&M shifter
Z06 wheels (when they make them is stock sizes)
LED spoiler
tunnel plate (for heat)

400HP will be enough for a while (had a 71 chevelle that i built growing up - it had about 350HP)

thinking about mods:

stereo (video DVD/TV - in dash like stock NAV unit)
console arm pad
black headlights (this is a really cool look)
and anything that catches the eye......

My Black on black coupe w/ 3LT, Z51, MN6, Nav, and comp gray wheels was built on 1/31.

The wait is killing me, though. I don't pick it up 'til 2/24 (NCM Delivery)

To those of you who are getting a build date, how long have you had to wait so far, i.e., when did you place your order?

My order was just ACCEPTED yesteraday w/o ANY constraints and I should have my TPW next week.

Having just sold my 03 Z06 I'm anxious to get back into a vette. The wife's PT Cruiser is lacking the zip I was used to.

I have that exact car except I got F55 instead of Z51. My wheels are std. painted.

Wait till you see the color - pics dont do it justice. It looks slightly drab in the dark, but when light hits it, it's so deep you could swim in it. I love the look of the black top and black leather.

I've ordered the z51 sways, and should have drilled/vented rotors on Monday ($399, corvettegarage.com). Pipe's guards are already on the front - waiting to get tape to do the backs. Lloyds mats will be on their way soon.

A VERY cool forum member is hooking me up with a Lingenfelter intake...later this spring its going to be the Rt. 66 or new Corsa A6 system for exhaust, then I'm set.

You wont regret your choice.

Oh yeah - one word of advice....you may want to polish/swirl remove the paint, then wax the ****e out of it. The finish hides orange peel great...but it shows swirls pretty bad. Not as bad as black, but bad.

Placed my NCM order with Rick Daniel on Jan 30th (my 23rd b-day!!) I ended up getting an 06 Coupe in Daytona Sunset Orange Z51, Titanium Leather, 3LT, Polished Wheels, and dual roof package. Im supposed to hear from Rick next week on when my production date will be.

I sold the 02Z on 01/17 and this is the longest ive been without the vette since i can remember. My 95 Jeep Wrangler just doesnt cut it as a replacement car for the time being.
