To all the Monterey Blue/Persimmon owners

Pretty new here, but I've been lurking here since I was in the market for a new Z.

I am in the same boat as you, I jumped on here specifically to see how long it takes for an order to come through. I told the fleet manager that I wanted to order one at the end of June, allocation/order in July, then emailed me his order form that told me August build date and September delivery. He just sent me an update on 9/14 which has the VIN number on it now and also an ETA of the week of 10/16/09.

A little longer then I expected, the one thing we have in common is that I also got Persimmon seats, but chose the Plantinum Graphite exterior.

When I saw the delay I blamed the seat color... Your post pretty much confirms it, I think the cars are manufactured in batches with like colors etc.... persimmon interior must have been towards the end of the list.
