You know, the more I sit here and read the posts, the more amazed I am that I put my deposit down a little over four months ago, and have the dealership telling me I'll pick it up within the next three weeks. Maybe I should go buy a lottery ticket.

If I recall an earlier post you stated it was being built on January 11th. Unless there is a hold up for quality you should be seeing it anytime. Has your dealership confirmed with Ford when it was released from plant for shipping? Be a little more patient your wait is almost over. Remember once you see her you'll forget about this wait.

Hey Shelbydude send me the video of you smoking a Z06 with your Shelby. Words are cheap. You can pick on the 350/400hp vettes if you want but don't try to BS me about beating the Z06. The name is added to make you guys pay the extra money. It can't compare with the Z06 in any kind of race ....drag or on a track. I like my Mustang but I'm a realist. My Corvette was twice the car at twice the price.

Quote from dealer via e-mail (06FEB): "It is going down the line this week. It has tentative ETA for week of 02/23." So they did have a slight delay in getting started on it. Thanks for tip on how to specifically ask about delivery date. I'm trying to be patient, but it's so hard! I'm so excited, I need to smoke a cigarette...and I don't even smoke...LOL I see that another poster is crazy about his 'vette, and it's a great car. But they're like a..holes; one around every corner. I pass probably five every day on my 45-min commute to work. One can argue finer points of which is faster, but I left my street racing and t-shifter behind about 25 years ago, have nothing to prove to anyone. I like to drive, I like the old muscle car look. The look takes me back to less complicated days when engines had about fifteen working parts, I could get on my creeper and grease some ball joints, and turn up the tunes on the old dial-up. Talk about "Friday Night Lights".

If it's being made this week it won't be too much longer a wait. 2\23 might be the day and if it is you will forget the wait. I enjoy talking in this forum so much about this car. It's a shame some donkey's have to ruin it for some. I don't have anything against other cars, but this is not the forum to discuss other cars. Oh well if we ignore them when they intrude they will go away. Don't start smoking neither, it will stink your new baby up when you get her in a few weeks.

After it goes down the line and it's built, then from there it goes to another location to get the stripes put on. So it can also depend on how backed up they are with striping.
So you may see it the week of 2/23 or it could be up to a few weeks longer. It is completely out of the dealers control as to when it will actually get there.
Regardless, you will have before spring.
We have one coming and the ETA was 1/29 and it still is not here. But it was built on 1/18. As of today, 2/14 it's still not here and we don't know when it will get here.

Do you have the VIN number? I can check it and find out the exact build date if it has been built.

Since you've owned a Z06, why not start a new "Z06 vs. Shelby" topic by going to the top of the discussion and clicking the "Add a Discussion" link? I'll be happy to link it to the Corvette Forum so that both groups of enthusiasts can weigh in.

I believe {shelbydude} is asking you [fastforagirl}for your VIN #. He will be able to get you schedule dates where he's a dealer. There is one schedule after the next. It's a little time consuming, but moving that many cars each day they have to rely on schedules. We wait for Ford to schedule a Vin#, then we wait for a scheduled build date, then we wait for a scheduled release date from plant, then it's a schedule date to be placed on a train, etc, etc. Take a deep breath and realize it won't be that much longer.

This is a great idea Claires. Whoever wants to bash a Shelby by thinking their cars a greater should have a seperate forum. I don't like to brag about my car, unless it's with another member who owns one. I know what I have and I don't need to smash it in anyones face. There are good things and bad things about every make and model. I just haven't been able to find a flaw in mine yet and I doubt I will.
