I could be mistaken but I thought it actually began last week.

When I chatted with a rep on the GM site 2 weeks ago my C7 was at 3000 and was told my build week is 7/8.

From what I have seen no one here that has placed an order has a firm build week. They did but then they were all placed on hold. Of course its all subject to change six times.

My Dealer has a firm build week of 8/12....And it is a very small Dealer. So I would bet there will be a lot of cars built before then..

Check the "Order Status" thread - nobody has gone past 3300. I don't think anyone has a TPW.

I heard the Plant is on vacation this week.

I'm pretty sure no customer cars have been built.

Those first dates in July or June 24 were incorrect. The earliest currently seen are 8/12 and 8/19 but who knows, the factory won't confirm anything yet.

Many are at 3300 but without TPWs.

Any updates on production dates, is Bowling Green off vacation. Being they are done producing the CTF, how long between that and gearing up for producing customer retail orders?

Could some forum member in Bowling Green please go out to the plant, walk around back, and see what's coming out the door?

Post pictures please.

Per the Corvette engineers at Bloomington they are only going to run one shift and are making about 20 cars per day BUT this is just practice. These are not real customer cars.
He did not set a date for REAL production but taked like August if all goes well. It takes 4 days to produce a car
