I'm ordering a C7 in the morning
All day I have talked 'Vettes with my best bud, and we have had much rum.
I've made peace with the origami arse hattish rear end. i'll live with it.
What I can't live with is another summer without a 'Vette. Last summer I had an F430 instead of my Z06 and ... dear lord did I miss that vette. On exhaust note alone, I missed it. I must have one.
I love them, I cheer for them, they are my countries car. And that adds an extra thrill to driving them. So, screw it, I'm ordering a C7 tomorrow morning. However homely its rear end is, at this point I've little doubt that it'll be a great car. And .... I will try to master it, and I will have so much fun, hearing a vette again.
Hope you all are well.

Let us know if you changed your mind once the rum wore off. 
Make sure you send some vid clips of it when it arrives!

Personally, I would never order a car that hasn't even made it's official debut yet.

How do you order a car they haven't released yet? How do you know what options to get? How much does one cost?

He walks into his boss and says, "Mr. Peters I hate that rear end, but I still want a C7." Peters says, "You'll get used to it, Bennion. They all will. I'll put an order in for you."

Curious if the Camo package will also be available for Z06's. Will it be a full body wrap as we have seen in all the pictures? Available as a production option or just offered as a priority dealer only installed Bra and Panty package for just the front and rear.

You cannot order one but you can put a deposit down, I put a deposit down on my C6 one year before it was released.

It'll be a few months from what I gathered from talking to the dealerships, but I got first in line at 2 of them, and was straight up in saying that I'd buy from whichever got the first allocation. Sweet!
