You'll get it in the spring. I ordered mine (2015 Z06) in Aug 2014 and didn't get it until June of 2015. Sit tight

Any constraints ordered like visible CF aero? I was told that would slow my Z07 order way down.

I know the plant was closed for part of December but I would think you would have got your car by then... anyway good luck!

Welcome to the club Bigbird.

I have a 2LZ LBM Convertible on order - also sitting at 1100 status. There are no shipments to Canada in Nov, Dec, Jan due to potential tire damage from cold weather. I understand the activation of CDN orders has just recently started to thaw(so to speak), so that is good news.

You are in same boat as me though - if your order is not activated by late April - you will unfortunately never get your car (since both Shark Grey and LBM production are ending in late April). Good luck to both of us!

BWFitz - actually I don't think that's correct - my understanding is that you cannot get order status updates on CDN orders through customer service.

Keep the faith BigBird.

My dealer seemed pretty convinced they would get their allocations activated soon. What does your dealer have to say? Where are you in their allocation queue?

Just spoke with my dealer in Ottawa and they are starting to get allocations and just filled a Stingray order and mine is next...same as you October 2015 put the order in. He still is confident I should be driving it before May 24 weekend!

Honestly, I think we will be comparing pics of our cars in May, sales are slowing down and typically this is not a time of orders for us. My dealer has been straight up saying allocations will begin in February, and by March our cars will most likely be picked up. He also said that if it doesn't get picked by end of April, then it most likely won't...


I am hopeful, but if my order doesn't get picked up I have other cars in mind to get, but I really want the Z06
