Maybe next time
Its been 7 weeks since i ordered my corvette with z51 package with no movement and no straight answer on when I may see it. Today I am more than likely canceling my order and going with the Nissan GT-R. More money but in stock at local dealer. Shame I finally ordered the car i want and Chevy drops the ball. How are they still around is beyond me.

You are being impatient. Your choice. 7 weeks is nothing. The time frames involved in ordering and receiving a C7 with select equipment are well documented on this forum.

Good Luck with that choice. I owned a 2009 GTR IMO it's a BORING CAR. Very fast but lacks true feel in the steering + you can defiantly tell its very heavy. If your looking for a very fast car its hard to beat the GTR. If your looking for a fun to drive car you may want to pass.
Another thought. Your buying a GTR that been out for over 5 years. So they are easy to get compared to a C7 Z51. The C7 has only been out for 5 months If it was 2009 and you wanted the GTR you would have had the same experience your getting from your Chevy dealer.. Trust me I owned a 2009 GTR the dealers had 10 to 30k mark-up on each car..

I now understand but I was told 8-12 weeks max and my order has not moved an inch yet. Too many horror stories of people waiting months upon months for a corvette is more than I would ever do. I want my car before its a year old. I test drove the Gt-R and it wasnt as fun as the vette but fast as hell. Plus the vette doesnt do me any good in Kentucky.

I dont blame the OP for being impatient. It shouldnt be this hard to spend $60k plus on what is essentially a toy for grown ups. I hope the OP thoroughly enjoys whatever car he decides to buy.

Holy crap man I honestly didn't even notice that until you mentioned it! I was reading a recent thread and you know how it suggests other threads on the bottom? Well I just clicked on one (this one) and kept reading failing to notice the date stamps. Noobie mistake 
I'll be more careful
