Well got my TPW date today of 8/19 on my Triple Black, 2014 ZL1.

Jump in, the water's great in the TPW 8/19/13 pool.

Shoot anything is great with what you ordered ! Congrats, that is going to be an awesome beast

fmcooper · 08-09-2013, 03:51 PM

I'm in this group now as well... Almost there!

fmcooper · 08-16-2013, 05:40 AM

Awful quiet in here, is anyone else getting excited?

DFA · 08-16-2013, 07:57 AM

I know I am. I have spent a lot of time on here reading and watching others get their new car, I just wonder how long after the car is built it will take to get here and then my dealer is putting on clear bra and window tinting before I get it. I am sure I will be there getting pictures as soon as it gets in.

I have ordered before, but that was for a BMW and Mini and tracked it on line all the way from Europe to the US; it makes for a long wait about 3 months for each.

I did order a Camaro in 1982, but I don't remember how long that took to come in.

Well next week is the week for us.

fmcooper · 08-16-2013, 09:25 PM

Yeah I am wondering the same thing shipping wise. Hopefully things are flowing smoothly now with new vehicles hitting the lots and they will arrive quickly. I am really looking forward to my 2014 (but still love my 2012

). I've driven the 2013 and the 2014 with the NPP exhaust and it is awesome. Looking forward to a few other new things like navigation and MyLink that aren't in my 2012, plus the separate DRLs and fogs. Wish I could have gotten the Recaros on the convertible -- maybe next time!

DFA · 08-19-2013, 07:13 AM

Well it looks like our week is here, I guess it won't be long now. I have really liked all my Camaros they have been great cars to drive and I am really looking forward the ZL1 to see how it really drives compared to the rest. I got the coupe, but no Recaros, just don't fit me very well since I am a pretty big guy. May have to hit up Becky for status later today or this week.

I'd check Chevrolet.com. Not sure if Becky's system or the public site is real time or an overnight process, but I'm getting pretty excited too

Great weather here and have my 2012 SS 'Vert out and about, but really looking forward to the new ride as well.

fmcooper · 08-21-2013, 06:03 AM

Well mine is showing Shipped/En Route now on Chevrolet.com, so I know it's been produced -- checking with Becky to see if it's heading my way yet! Drove my 2012 the last two days, having some great weather here in southeast Michigan.

DFA · 08-21-2013, 09:03 AM

Chevrolet.com still shows mine Queued for Production; still hopeful.

fmcooper · 08-31-2013, 03:41 PM

Picked up my new car yesterday. Didn't get to drive it much before heading out for the holiday weekend, but did make the most important first stop -- V-Power!

DFA · 08-31-2013, 04:29 PM

Glad to here, it looks great. I am still waiting, mine is in Bayed status as of Friday. Hoping in a week or two, I don't understand the TPW being the same and you having yours and mine has not left the plant.

fmcooper · 08-31-2013, 08:29 PM

Yours ended up getting built a week later for whatever reason, right? 3400 on 8/26? Mine sat bayed for a while too -- 6 days, then grabbed a truck across the border. Detroit is 4 1/2 hours from Oshawa, so I was very fortunate that I got it as quickly as I did. Mine was a reorder, my original was TPW 7/15 but was damaged in transit.... So I had to start all over again....

If I was betting, I bet yours hits the road on Tuesday. Your ZL1 will be awesome, wish I could have gotten one!

DFA · 08-31-2013, 08:46 PM

Anyway it is great that you got yours and hope you have a lot of fun with it. I would hope that it get moving soon, but nothing I can do to get it here quicker. Did it help that you are a GM Employee when getting yours; hope you got a good deal.

I needed a fix today so I went to a local dealer that has two black Zl1 (not the same options) just to admire them. Hope you are right about shipping Tuesday that should put it here in a week or two, then the dealer is doing the tint and clear bra on the front, I get so tired of cleaning bugs off the front of my cars and the clear bra helps.
I have already gotten my rock guards, catch can, and Mild 2 Wild switch, I have also ordered my CAI from CAI Inc. it should be here in about 3 weeks and that will be all the mods for the near future.
