Default MN C7 Stingrays

So how many C7s do we have in MN now and how many are on order? I will start off.

Going from 2008 Z06. Have on order a Z51, 3LT, VY, carbon flash dual stripes, VY brake calipers, performance exhaust, magnetic ride suspension, and few other minor options. Home base will be in Mankato.

I have mine sitting covered in the garage and I am not so patiently waiting until spring. Every few weeks when it gets warm enough to open the garage door for more than a few minutes I start it and just enjoy listening to the NPP exhaust until the engine comes up to temp. This winter has me really questioning why I live in this frozen state. Then my wife yells at me and I remember why, she pays the bills.

Picked mine up on Oct. 4th and managed to put just over 500 miles on it before storage. Hopefully the April Cars & Coffee will have weather suitable for bringing it out by then.
Z51, 2LT, NPP, red calipers, automatic, Torch Red/Kalahari

Mine is sitting in the rail yard in Toledo. Built on Jan 17. Initial expected delivery date to the dealer was Jan. 24, obviously we've missed that! Realistically, I expect it to be delivered no sooner than Feb. 11, probably later. Rail shipment sucks! Average transit time Toledo to Cottage Grove is 10 days! Covered wagons were faster! The car left Bowling Green 5 days ago and has been sitting at the Toledo yard waiting to be loaded. I'm told to expect another 3 or 4 days of delays at Cottage Grove. Only consolation is the MN weather is so bad it really doesn't matter.
Aftermarket TSW wheels and Michelin A/S3 tires are waiting, but it will probably just go into storage until the weather cooperates.
CGM, 3LT, Brownstone, 7 sp. manual, red calipers, NPP...and the needed battery charger!

Picked my Crystal Red C7 Convertible up the weekend of Dec 14 and drove it back from Ohio. I have another 400 miles on it around town here despite the cold. Even a few with the top down that other weekend when we were in the 40's. Just drove it this Saturday to the park and discovered that hockey sticks do in fact fit in the trunk of the convertible. I am in Prior Lake, MN.

My plan was to wait until around April to make my move, but because of the order imbalance right now between the Z51 and the base model (which works for me because I will not be tracking the car) I was able to get a little better deal from one of our local dealers than the best price I was able to find using a forum dealer after courtesy delivery fees. I will be placing my order tomorrow for a CGM/AR 1LT, 7sp M, NPP, SB3, BV4, ERI.

I graduated high school from a town near Mankato called Windom. Don't know if you've ever heard of it. I moved to Southern California for college. But my heart will always be in Minnesota, I miss that place!!

I purchased mine from Suburban in late September early October. A z51, cyber gray, 3 LT kalahari, 7 speed. I have it with me in Florida and will return it back to MN in May.

Best Vette I have ever owned.
