lol that's why i put myself on the stingray list. In case the possibility of more parts shortages, or delays for that car, or even like you mentioned, low allocation amount and i get pushed to a 2nd MY.

At least if i can play with the stingray for a year, either i keep it and build it or sell/trade and just have 1 C8, the z06.

Good problems to have haha

Have you been to MacMulkin before ? It's pretty wild. They have a "corvette elevator" inside the middle of the building and regularly transport/rotate them from upstairs to downstairs. The Z06's are usually up top.

I honestly never been there. I bought my C7Z with kerbeck (when they were actually kerbeck). I didn't go with ciocca for my stingray or z06 wait list because i didn't like the way they conduct business. Even though kerbeck wasn't that much better, it still was better than ciocca. At least with my experience. So i said fuck them and went with macmulkin for both C8 wait lists.

I wanted to drive over there during my vacation just to take a look but never got a chance to, was too lazy honestly and no one wanted to go with me LOL.

Maybe i'll take a ride down there after summer and check it out.

I'm excited to take delivery of both C8's from them. They seem like VERY good people. The experience i had with them so far have been top notch.

What a fucking tool.

I was able to drive a MUCH faster C7Z in fucking winter with cup2's and i never had issues like this ever.

That guy doesn't deserve to drive cars like that.

Ok, PM me when you get your Z06 allocation. I may even pick you up at the airport (Manchester not Boston) if you plan to drive it vs have it delivered. Only ask for a nice ride before you head home!

I'm debating on both C8's.

I want to drive them home since it's only like 260 miles away (only lol). But at the same time i could regret driving it home because of rock chips, or god forbid an accident etc. I think they offer in house PPF i could choose before i take delivery but there's a guy i use and he's much cheaper by me.

So idk yet. I might go there on a saturday but spend the night at a hotel and just drove the car home early sunday since they're open sundays. It's like a 4 hour drive lol

Ok, just lmk. I have a PPF guy here local that does great work. So if that's what you want before you drive it ( i would ) I can give you his shop info. Just let me know. I would def get that car protected before driving it ........even the break in period

Got mine from MacMulkin, would definitely recommend. July 2021 - May 2022 wait. Took a one way flight there for $150 and they picked me up at the airport. 500 mile drive home with no issues.

They do offer enclosed shipping. For me it worked out to like $2/mile which is high. I would've done it for $1-1.25/mile.

Z06 is roughly 20-30% of total C8 allocations. I've got a good spot on Ciocca's list.

Dude that's GORGEOUS! I love rapid blue!

I know my C8Z will be torch red but i can't decide yet on what my stingray would be. Rapid blue is definitely in one of the choices. I am glad for 23 you can get the multi spoke black wheels with the blacked out exhaust. So that's the route i'll go with no matter what color i get.

$2/mile isn't that bad for shipping. I may consider that. It'll come out to around 600 bucks.

I got a price (estimate) for uber and it'll cost me 390 bucks to get there lol. But i don't really trust that.

Or i can ask one of my co-workers and pay him, but he might ask for more than 390 lol.

Not really looking to save money on getting the car to my house per say, just wondering what would be the most convenient. Would be nice to put the miles on getting home as part of the break in, but if i take delivery of the car in winter, not sure if i wanna do that.

I have time to think about it.

But your car looks amazing man. That color is fucking awesome!

Car looks gorgeous. Congrats. I’m a bit bothered by the wheel offset - would definitely put custom wheels or at least some spacers.

Thanks! Yeah, kinda waiting to see the Z06 price and timing since don't wanna spend $3k+ on wheels if it's getting traded on a Z relatively soon. Although towards winter I think I'd want to set the base wheels up as winter wheels and put the current PS4S tires on a nice forged set.

One nice thing is that the car can be dropped about .75" just by wrenching the z51 coilovers with the wheels off. Base ride height is a bit high although I've already very slightly scraped the plastic splitter.

[BGM-M3COMP]

Lmao yup. First thing I’m doing with the stingray is dropping it lol.

I’ll have aftermarket wheels at my house ready for it before I even take delivery of the car. Factory GM wheel offsets are always trash lol

Yeah I see that from a lot of people on Corvette Forum. Just be mindful you'll wanna do the 500 mile break in before swapping.

One of my favorite looks, way better offsets than stock

Oh yeah definitely.

When i get the car, it's going straight to get tint, PPF (probably just the front and rockers), then dropping it, alignment, do the 500 mile break in, then throwing the aftermarket wheels on.

I have an idea of what wheel i want to get, offsets i already know. Similar to that pic you posted which looks incredible. Not keen on the gold/bronze look, it's definitely going to be a black wheel. Regardless of what exterior color i choose.

Definitely exciting.

[Alfisti]

These cars don't need to sit lower, they need less guard gap.

You buying from Ciocca? If so, just have them do the PPF so it's done before you take delivery. That's my plan

Nah fuck those guys. I'm getting both of my C8's from macmulkin.

I know macmulkin also do in house PPF or perhaps send them to a nearby shop? Not sure.

But from the prices i've heard, i could get it cheaper at my tint guy. So one stop shop for tint/PPF with the guy local to me.
