Default My C7 was built April 1st, but is still at 4D00-Vehicle on Hold as of today.

Is this normal for a Corvette to be sitting in Bowling Green for almost three weeks already? I'm not too concerned if this normal, but it sure doesn't seem to make good business sense for built cars to be just sitting at the plant for this long.

Wow, three weeks now and still sitting in BG!

4d00 was 4 weeks for me. It could be for any number of things including quality checks, repairs or replace defective part(s), and lastly waiting on a full truck going to your dealer or at least to a few nearby dealers.

Check with your dealer, they have the resources to determine the problem and get it corrected. Three weeks seems excessive. My car just went 4D00 Thursday, hoping just a Good Friday correction.

My car was at 4d00. It had 26 miles on it when I picked it up at the dealer. Salesman told me it was because my car was picked randomly off the line for a more detailed inspection and test drive.

Mine also came off the line April 1st [20599], picked it up last week. Maybe it found out it was going up north and it's fighting extradition. Hang in there, your going to love it.

My dealer said they hold them for a full load. He says they drop cars off along the way down toward Miami. I'm in Jacksonville.

I thought it was the other way around for holding up delivery. Yer south of me. They should slow to 60 and toss mine off on the way through Jax!

Shades of Nashville, your car is stuck in QC hell. Prepare for additional 2 month wait.

Your car must have been built in the morning and mine in the afternoon. I got S/N 20682. Did you get Cyber Grey also?

Yea, it's probably waiting for that last 8" snow fall we just got last Wednesday night to all melt.

I used to live in Streamwood from '64 to '75 on Park Blvd close to Schaumburg road. I Fished Bode Lake as a kid.

No Jeff, mine is a silver convertible, non Z51 with red interior, 7speed stick. I thought maybe the FAY might be a problem but the car came through in just under 5 weeks.
We have been here in Schaumburg since 71 and coming up on 9 years retired, how time flies. Enjoy the car when you get and hope you have a good Easter with the family. Tom
