Nothing is being taken for granted by the engineers. There is no upside for them to rush and only a disaster if they let something out the door not right. Their plan from the inception of the C7 was to have a World Class performer. That hasn't changed. Is the car going to be perfect is any car regardless of price. Feel assured this car is getting as much if not more attention then any car on the market. I couldn't be any happier with mine and I'm sure you will be too We all have are eyes on the prIze and so do they.

Mike Mercury, I am K1XV. I bet that control head is going in the display area. One thing about Corvettes, a mag mount antenna won't stick. 
and that radio that everyone had to send back was the Icom IC-775dsp. I finally bought one, but at the end of the production run.
Wonder if you could get the feed from the Performance Data Recorder, and put it on the air via amateur radio? It would be like auto racing on television.

Well, I am an engineer (*), and I would have done exactly what Corvette did with holding the A8 longer.but thats exactly why there's a 2 week QC hold at the beginning of each new MY. All cars are held during that 2 weeks (even the ones not needing it) so as to not rouse suspicion/doubt.
This partial realease of cars-built was a bone-headed move; though I doubt it was Tadges decision. Ya gotta remember that at those "meetings"... it's not just engineers. Accountants also attend, many holding a Tablet PC with a spreadsheet already displayed on the screen as they walk in.
(*) By the way, you are from Ohio, right? I got my Ph.D. from Ohio State and also used to live in Dublin when I was a student there. It's a small world. Go Buckeyes!
Closed???? do you own stock in GM ???
the durability of the A8 has not been verified by the end user... yet.
And, I don't have mine yet; and it was built 17 days ago. Doesn't even show shipped (still at 4000). I am happy you have yours though.
I support them as well; have enjoyed my Corvettes over the years. But, blind faith is not good either.
The OP asked:
the second part has been answered; they are now shipping.
The first part (asking if there's problems with the A8)
guys... that will take 3-5 years of real world usage before we'll know that answer. Keep your fingers crossed !

Maybe I should take another look in my garage, as I haven't seen mine yet, do you know where it is, I'd like to find it. Who said I have mine? You must be assuming again, last time I looked I was at 4000!
