I am Feb 2019 R1T preorder. I am 440 miles north of Normal, so even after they open a Detroit area Service Center (assuming they do) I am still 225ish miles from a Service Center. I would be happy to fly to Normal to take delivery, and would even be willing to sign some kind of waiver that...

Got my Z51 C8 just about a year ago - at MSRP. There are plenty of dealers that will sell at MSRP - search CorvetteForum.com for a thread that has the list. My deposit is in on a Z06. Who knows, I may get that before the R1T LE!

Yes - that is a Michigan manufacturer plate

Me too!

my gas tank is full - ready for a road trip to Normal if they will just invite me!

My biggest concern about the interior is the reflection onto the windshield from the top dash pad. Vehicles I've owned that had lighter colors tended to reflect a lot more than darker colors. From the pictures in the configurator it looks like FG has a brown top pad, but OC and BM look like they...

Eric - thanks for the link. Most of my research on the ATs was done last year and I've not viewed that. The video does seem a bit like an infomercial to me... Reading the comments from Duck and RJ about the ATs recently have causing me to second guess the 22s (again!), especially since I like...

Joe - I am in the same boat as you. Initially configured FG, but now that I have seen the videos and more pictures I'm wondering if LG would be better (I am set on Black interior - until I see others in person where it could change). To complicate matters Canyon Red looks pretty good to me in...

I have been on Cadillac's email list for the Lyric for a couple of months - what I see so far I like as a replacement for my wife's SRX. So far there has been no information about dimensions - if it's much longer than her SRX it's a deal breaker. A 3/4 size R1S would be perfect. Perhaps the...

Lobstahz - I agree with Bob that you should be fine with the 22s. It's kind of a roll of the dice with road conditions, but if you have not bent/broken a wheel before, I suspect you will not in the future. I never have, but both my wife and son have, driving on generally the same roads. To put...

Dream Cruise size estimates are in the range of 1 - 1.5 million people and 40,000 + old and/or specialty/unique vehicles. I can't even begin to explain some of the exotic/weird/strange vehicles I have seen there over the years. The C8 is my fourth 'Vette, so my Shelby friends are not...

AWD doesn't help you stop on ice any faster, plus the wider tires of a heavy vehicle tend to allow you to 'float' more (and farther) on ice, and they are less likely to dig down into the snow. Over several decades I've had snowies on AWD/4WD/FWD/RWD vehicles. I will not own a vehicle that I...

I'm going to be in Metro Detroit next week. If I thought it would be that easy I would definitely show up there. Timf - I'm torn between Forest Green and Launch Green also - should we crash the Rivian party? :cool:

Hey Duck - Until about 2 years ago I lived in the Metro Detroit area and have attended all but 2 or 3 of the Woodward Dream Cruises (most in a '66 GT-350 but this year in my C8). It is an amazing day (week actually) that any car guy/gal should attend at least once. You see everything...

From my research/experience/TireRack ice testing/etc: tire compound and tread pattern of an ice/snow tire will be far superior to any AT tire when it gets slippery. I will go to the trouble and expense of a dedicated winter wheel/tire set. One avoided fender bender because I can stop or turn...

I have winter to deal with also, and the only real solution is snow/ice tires - not AT tires.

After well over 2 years of reading forum posts it seems the majority of us are buying the R1s as Adventure vehicles. Perhaps I'm an anomaly, but I see the R1T as the ultimate (for now) street performance truck. I will rarely, if ever, take it off-road. I'll only be on dirt roads to transport...

Spotted one on Woodward during the Dream Cruise Saturday

The speedometer seems to have noticeable lag at times - I think actual elapsed time will probably be less than indicated.

Five months after I placed my deposit on the R1T (2/19) I saw a C8 at Stanford Chevrolet. Put down a deposit the same day at the dealer I had used in the past (for MSRP). When we discuss getting an R1 without seeing colors or driving it - this is exactly what I did with this. No complaints...
