Z06 Delayed - Dealer Memo
Can't believe no one has posted this, but I have a copy of a dealer letter dated Jul 6, 2005.
Quote:
Z-06 Corvette - Has been delayed a month and now will not go into production until sometime approximately between 8/20 and 9/30.....
What a major bummer...... I was expecting to pick mine up in Sept....:bang

dexter:
It's from a person within GM to the dealer. I could post a copy of the email but I don't think I should do that, my dealer contact was nice enough to "prove" to me that he received the email by faxing me the entire document.
I basically had told him since I hadn't seen any thing on our forum from our sponsor dealers, so I was having trouble believing it. So he faxed it over. It's real, nothing was "blacked" out, so I see the complete document including email addresses of GM folks.

Everyone in SoCal...clear the road when Tom gets his car. He took me for a ride in his red 01 Z06 at an event at his place in 9/00 and I about peed in my pants.
Can't wait to see your pics, Tom. What color you getting? Yellow?

You're full of
!!! lolHe took me for a ride in his new C-6 and "I" sucked up almost all of the passenger seat!!! He said something about a 2 day high performance driving course gave him the ability to turn corners at about 100 MPH...and he did!
Holy crapola, I told him I'd never been in a car driven that fast on surface streets...that got a laugh out of him.
We all can't wait for him to get his yellow ZO-6 and be the first to get ZO-6 museum delivery like he did with the first museum delivery of the new C-6!!!
Go Tom!!!

Me too! Are the east coast dealers getting their vehicles? This would be very strange! Maybe something to do with Calif emissions???

Anything's possible, but I did receive a call from the dealer in MD today to please come in and place my build order tomorrow. I'm #2, and they asked #1 to do so last week.
I won't stress either way. I'm driving a perfectly nice C6 right now.

Unless you're spending major cash over MSRP you'll probably be waiting
a year for the car. That's the only reason I haven't gotten rid of my C5
Z06. Now, the regular C6s are just barely starting to arrive in numbers
at my local dealers; they were supposed to be here last Fall. I expect
the same sh't for the Z06. Good luck Bro...
