I've been told by a local dealer that western Canada probably won't see any C7s until late in the year or even early in 2014. I fly into Fort Lauderdale from the great white north (actually it's not usually white in Vancouver even in middle of winter) late on the 19th of October, so if anyone nearby can offer up their C7 for me to check out on the 20th that would be much appreciated. Still feel like I want to see one in person before pulling the trigger on my first Vette.

I live in Boca and my car is on the way to Rosner Chevy in Melbourne. Will be here any day. Once I get the car I'll post the notice and then we can all meet up, those of us with the C7 and those of you still waiting and enjoy our new toys

I live in the eastern Wellington (South Florida) area and my Arctic White LT 3 with Adrenaline Red (and dual top option) is being delivered to Rick Hendrick Chevy in Atlanta and I'm set to pick it up 2 weeks. (Ordered back in June) No problem on meeting up. I'll keep you posted.

Please post some detailed pics when you get her. I am very intrigued by this color combo.

No, regular seats. I will be driving the car often, and from what I hear the comp seats are slightly less comfortable for "everyday" driving. That may or may not be true, but after reading the reviews of the standard seats being a huge upgrade from the C5 and C6, I'm content just going with the standard. But mine does have every other avail option minus the carbon fiber dash. (Dealer said that was an issue at this point and may hold up production so I had it removed).

Thanks nsad, yeah, I usually buy my work fleet trucks from Tom Carlton at that Autonation, but I just was a little concerned about their initial allocation. From what I've been told, they are not a "volume" Corvette dealer. But none the less, there a good dealership and only charging MSRP plus 799 dealer fee. I just felt more comfortable going out of state to Georgia at Rick Hendrick hoping for the best. As of now I'm at 4000 status and should betting mine around very early Oct, from what I was told. What's your status and what is your target date? Curious. Thanks. Perhaps I should of just dealt with them as they are local. Let me know.

Grammar check "getting". And also nsad, you could say I'm local, as my family has owned a piece of land on Forest Hill just east of 441 since 1984. It's now a shopping center surrounded by a community called "Olympia" that which we still own. We decided to hold out that land and not sell to the developer 10 years ago.

Hope to see a good group of C7 guys at some of our "Cars and Coffee" events we are planing here shortly!

Our 7 is in route and hope to see it within the next 7-12 days...
