Hey airdale. That's a great question and even better suggestion. I have one on order since 7/5. As an ex-dealership guy with Nissan, I can only say that I hope so. My role at the dealership was designated GT-R rep, among other things. When the GT-R was first deliverable, our dealership did make a big deal out of it. We delivered the car in the showroom with red velvet ropes around the car with enough room to enable a solid walkaround before going to the interior for the electronics schooling. The GM was always on hand as well as service manager and the technician who would follow that car and that customer. We took photos which were subsequently sent to the owner and always featured GT-R sales in the corporate newsletter. If you're familiar with the GT-R, you know that this was Nissan's first entry into consumer supercars and a very special vehicle. More to the point...since this is the 7th gen of the Vette, I have the distinct feeling that our ownership and delivery will be a lot more special to us than to the dealer. Of course, that may have something to do with a specific dealers allocation. My GM dealership has an allocation of 60, I believe. The first couple may be special but I'm guessing that the enthusiasm at the dealership will wane. The first delivery at my dealership will be to a performance company who will clearly experiment, modify, and publish accordingly. That should tell the story.
PS I just got a return call from my sales rep regarding status of my order. (He said nobody knows nuttin'...not the answer I was looking for.) I asked about any special plans for a C7 delivery and he had no clue what I meant. I could almost envision him looking at the phone like I had three heads. So...your answer based on my dealership is 'strong doubt it.' Maybe, if you're working with a smaller dealership, they will wisely make it special for PR purposes.
