Re: GM Needs to do this on the 5th gen.

This is the best post on the board in months (no, I'm not joking). I would sign up for this in a heartbeat. I like the idea of being the first person to drive my car.

I would definitely fly out to anywhere in North America to pick up my Z28

I suppose it depends on where its built huh? Maybe I could drive it off the ship from Australia?
They don't pick up up right after it comes off the line. All Corvettes sit for at least a week outside and are weather tested, to make sure the seals and everything are lined up before it leaves on a truck.

I would definately opt for this option having been to BG and seeing 4 picked up in 1 day, from the Museum, and seeing the pride the owners took, heck you can shake the hands of the people who built your car! That would just rock!

Re: GM Needs to do this on the 5th gen.

One giant missing component for this is the fact that there is no "National Camaro Museum" across the street from whatever plant gets to build the car.

As far as I know, the National Corvette Museum does all the prep work for the car, and does the actual delivery of the car.

That doesn't mean that something can't be setup where-ever Camaro ends up being built (thought I doubt a freestanding facility would be built, so it'd have to worked in to the plant or something like that) , but having the NCM right across the street from Bowling Green Assembly plays a big part in the Corvette program.

We can run this "museum" out of my garage. I'll run the BBQ, hire some local college girls to do the final wash & wax on the car (or wherever they'd like) and you guys BYOB .

Deal?

Re: GM Needs to do this on the 5th gen.

I'd be game for picking up my new Camaro at the factory. That just seems like the coolest way to get your car.
