Not sure what my actual number is, but my Chevy tracker link went to Queued for Production after two weeks. I suppose that's around 3000, right? Was 2000 last week.

I just changed on the Chevy tracker today. I am now 3000. I think we are in the same time frame. Hopefully scheduled for a TPW in about a week from now.

Queued for production is usually 3000. Congrats to you all.

Torch red. Black interior.

Glad I went with a high volume dealer. Some of those waits seem crazy. It's been long enough as it is for me.

I asked my dealer to make a slight change to my order (red calipers) yesterday, but I got no response. I'm sure it's too late now, so I'm a little disappointed.

Usually once it hits 3000 3300 is almost very soon afterward

I believe that too. I am sure it makes things go faster that way.

I also ordered and received Cyber Gray

It should be easier and cheaper to paint your own calipers.

I'll probably do that some day when I get my Z06.

Paying $495 for a courtesy delivery to a dealer 50 miles away from me, my two local dealers refused. I hope I at least get a tank of gas for that large fee.

I'm thinking May 1st build date according to my dealer. My car Cyber z51, auto, CF roof, 2Lt Kalahari int, stingray sills, mag, Nav and NPP exhaust. Had to give up the dual clear roof option and CF dash for now to get past the constraints. Congrats to all the 3000ers now the real wait begins!

2000 is really where the magic is. Until you get there, GM doesn't really care about doing anything with your preliminary order. Most folks advance to 3000 within a few days of 2000. But seeing your status code hit 2000 is the point you can relax knowing your car will be built in the near future. Been there, done that like so many others. Enjoy the rest of the ride. You're gonna be driving a Stingray!
