If he is thinking museum delivery, it is being special ordered. Therefore I deduce he wants the 1LT configuration.

I'd jump on it. Just curious how many miles on your '06?

NPP is the dual mode exhaust. Here are the numbers for all those doubters and bs posters. Trade in quote 37 to 38K on my current C6 which has 12000 miles on it. I paid 39.7 K for it ordered from the factory after my GM employee discount and a customer loyalty certificate. So doing the subtraction and assuming the 37K trade in that is 2700 less than I paid, not counting TTL which I noted in my original post I would be losing out on. Of course it isn't a deal until the ink is on the paper and I will be working on it with the dealer this week. I actually don't want to order the car until September so I can pick it up at the museum with my nine year old on my birthday.
