Hey all! It's finally my TPW! I'm hoping everything is on track and there are no delays.

What was your guys experience? Were you built on the Monday of your TPW? The Tuesday? Is it reasonable to hope for a VIN by this Wednesday?

How many miles did you guys have on your car when you picked it up? (Not counting those of you that got it at the museum).

I'm assuming I would have less than 10 on pick up, but I don't want to unpleasantly surprised.

Last question, I'm in New Jersey and I think the car will travel by rail to here. Can anyone give a ballpark figure on when delivery might occur?

Thanks, can't wait to post pictures of her!

I cannot answer the other questions, but mine had 6 miles on it when I picked it up from Rick "Corvette" Conti last October.

Mine was picked up a Kerbeck in AC. I believe it came by truck not by rail. I had a TPW of 3/31 and took delivery 4/17.

I had 9 miles on mine when I took delivery.

Been smiling ever sense.

Mine had 24 miles. It was at status code 4D00 for about a week after production in BG so I'm pretty certain it went thru the extended QC process. I have had no probs with it @4,000 miles.

Mine traveled by truck to MD so yours may go by truck also. Just guessing.

 

[Mobius]

Mine was built on the Friday of the TPW (our best guess), and had 5 miles on it when I picked it up.

Mine was delivered by truck in just under two weeks after being built (delivered one day before I picked it up).

I took a day of vacation when I picked it up, and drove all day long.

You're gonna love it.

Built on Monday and arrived in Houston 10 days later by rail with 11 miles following PDI. That was 4 days ago

1 in every 20 Corvettes coming off the assembly line are road tested and inspected for quality control.

These Corvettes usually end up in the customer's hands with 20+ miles on them.

So now you know where the miles came from on your Corvette if it has 20+ miles on it.

I'm thinking this is a FABULOUS idea! I'm going to hold back one vacation day for this activity 'just in case' it is a weekday!

I love this photo. One of these months you should submit it for the photo of the month. I'm thinking 'resting in the shade on a hot summer day'.

It had 4 miles before it was forever entrapped in the showroom. It was like watching one of those tile shift games trying to get it back outside again

 

[Boomah]

Built on Wednesday of my TPW and delivered 14 days later to MacMulkin, I took delivery in person a day later (met the corvette sales team, a great bunch of professionals). Drove it off the lot with 2 miles on the Odo, straight into a thunderstorm

We watched our Z51 C7 being built from 2/27 thru 2/28. After I started her for the first time (and installed my custom name plate in the console) I asked tech if my car could go thru the QC Audit.. They accepted it as 1 of 2 cars from the 160 cars built that day. I picked her up at the Museum on 3/19 and the OD had 29 miles. My car has been flawless and now have 3,500 joyous miles!

Driving to Birmingham Thursday to attend the Porche driving school at Barber Motor Speedway with my brother from Houston. I'll be there just to go thru class and ride with instructors ($125.00). My brother is doing the full 1 day event ($1,800.00) I plan on wearing my embroidered Stingray polo shirt!

 

[CruznCorvette]

Mine was built a few days early; the Wednesday before my TPW. I had a friend that works for GM check the system for me, I was surprised when he said it was already built.
5,800 trouble free miles.

 

[Ragtop]

I had about 26 mi too, NCM delivery. I was told it was very unusual for NCM delivered cars to have gone through the QA/QC road test process. I consider myself lucky!

Picked up my C7 last February with 6 miles on the odo. For many years buying new cars I have seen 4 to 10 miles on the odo at delivery. I have come to believe that the build and delivery process accounts for those miles. Opinion only. cutnout aka Charlie
