General Motors sent the first shipment of 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray from its Bowling Green Assembly plant to dealers last month, but if you haven't already ordered one you may be waiting awhile.

Chevrolet confirmed this week that there is a six-month waiting list for the new sports car, according to a company press release.

"It's an amazing sight to see the transporters filled with Stingrays heading to customers in all corners of the country," said Bowling Green Assembly plant Dave Tatman. "The pride at Bowling Green is overwhelming and it shows in the tremendous quality and attention to detail going into each one of these new Corvettes."

People are supposedly willing to spend up to $20,000 extra to jump higher on the list to make sure they get a Corvette before next spring.

Interested customers can purchase the new Stingray for $51,995, including the shipping fee.

"Bowling Green Assembly has produced approximately 1,000 Corvette Stingrays for customer deliveries," said GM in a press statement. "Most of these vehicles are expected to be delivered to dealers within the next few weeks. To expedite delivery, vehicles may be shipped out of build sequence, which is a normal part of any new vehicle launch."

GM's President Mark Reuss recently indicated that the automaker was considering making a Corvette Hybrid in the near future.

The 2014 Corvette Stingray will deliver up to an EPA-estimated 29 mpg on the highway, and 17 mpg in the city, according to GM. Those numbers would improve if a hybrid model was released.
