Got a Z06 allocation.
What a rollercoaster the past two months have been. Let me preface I know my rollercoaster is nothing compared to others who have been waiting for T0F/T0G, Z06 to start production, been on lists for 3+ years, etc.
But since I have come to be willing to pay an ADM as long as I found it reasonable( aka by the time I can find an MSRP deal, it would be close or equal to todays MSRP+ADM) I have been on the hunt for an allocation. I was not going to accept an in stock unit. Thought I had an allocation back in December, but the availability of aero made it to go to someone else. Thought I found an allocation from this round, but same situation. Availability of aero means it went to someone else. I have been excited, disappointed, excited, to back to disappointed.
Well about two hours ago a sales person posted that they had someone back out of their allocation and needed it be filled by tonight. We worked out a deal and boom! Got it. Only sacrifice is R8C delivery. Small dealer and they weren't comfortable/unsure on the process. Was willing to sacrifice it because the dealer is only 1.5 hours away from me so I won't have to ship it. So that lucked out and saved $3,500( R8C+Air fare+hotel+rental car+shipping car home).
Specs are:
3LZ Coupe
Red Mist
Black interior
Titanium Satin wheels
Front End Lift
Carbon Flash painted exterior mirrors
Black Exhaust tips
Stealth Interior
Red Stitching
Edge Red Brake calipers
Red Seat Belts
Just to make sure the dealer wasn't fooling me, put the order number into chevy chat and says accepted by GM.
Super Hyped.

Congrats. Looks like I wait for next month's allocations. My dealer did not get one for Jan. I'm still next it's just a matter of what month that happens.

But congrats! You'll get it if your order is at 2000. GM commits to build it at that point.

I was able to order the car with T0F/T0G if I wanted to ( full Z07 is a no go due to tires and stiffer suspension), but didn't want to shell out the money for it nor am I sold on the looks of the car with it.
But congrats! You'll get it if your order is at 2000. GM commits to build it at that point.
