Default Vette sitting at Bowling Green. Wonder how long I値l have to wait.

So I ordered a Z06 and was told it was produced Wednesday. How long can I expect it to sit there before its shipped and how long before it gets to Maryland? Killing me.

There are variables. Probably two weeks. Depends on how may other Corvettes are going the same direction.

I have ordered 3 C7s and they all sat in Bowling Green for about 2 weeks after the were built. All were shipped to Wis via truck.

Yep, ordered mine last year about this time and it sat in the bowling green parking lot for 2 weeks before it shipped. The wait was painful.

That was painful? Watch your Z06 sit at a rail yard for 3 weeks in winter. From time built until delivery was 6 weeks.

I was in Nashville the day I got confirmation that my car was built. Could never have set that up in advance in a million years.

Car finally arrived at the dealer 9 days after build.

I was at the museum yesterday and took this photo of the new cars waiting to go out on the floor for the museum delivery option R8C. Seems the orange is the flavor of the month and many are ZR1s!

Usually there is a mandatory 2 week QC hold on all cars, in case they find an issue with the line they can go back and fix something before the cars ship. Some even have 20+ miles on them because the factory takes random ones on a QC drive.
