Does anybody know , when Quebec dealers get their , 2023, C8 allocations? I am not sure I can trust my dealership with info anymore.
Allocation
- Thread starter WLGJ
- Start date
Quick update: Spencer mentioned they received 5 allocations (all z51, and only one with mag ride). I just placed the order for the z51 with the mag ride 
Initially I was going to get non Z51 + mag ride. Based on US forums the constraints are going to be an ongoing issue and I rather get the z51 instead of paying the luxury tax

Since when are allocation z51 package specific?Quick update: Spencer mentioned they received 5 allocations (all z51, and only one with mag ride). I just placed the order for the z51 with the mag ride

Yep the May allocations constrained the base model due to differential supply issues from what I've read

found some info about that on the USA forum
All cars with no Z51 and no Mag Ride are on CONSTRAINT.
There is a constraint on cars with Z51 package and Magnetic Ride Control (FE4), cars with (FE2) Magnetic ride control with NO Z51 package and constraint on Non Z51/ Non Magnetic ride cars!
From my understanding you must order Z51. Anything else is on constraint. Mag ride has very limited availability and only with the Z51. So no Z51, no car for now.

correct, you can only order z51 with no mag ride at this time (there is a slim to zero chance that your dealer might be able to order z51 with mag ride)
One can only assume that the standard differential is unavailable and only the Z51 one is, hence Z51's only.
I heard that also, but I’m sure GM doesn’t mind making some extra money
Hate to tell you it’s $7495 not $6500.This is f en ridiculous! 27 month wait , now and now this. I removed mag ride, so I would not have to wait longer and now I have to spend 6500 $ more to get my Vette.
In all fairness I'm sure GM could do without the headache of constantly changing constraints if they could.
I'm also wanting to order an non Z51, but spending the extra $5200 ("that's right dear, GM says we gotta") is okay by me as I keep adding options anyway as the months go by. But gotta get the Mag ride somehow...
Let's see what June will bring. I'm hoping to get an allocation in July or August so I'm keeping a close watch on the situation.

That depends on what you had as options. In my case, deduct the cost of the performance exhaust and the rear wing and it comes out to $5200.
I’ve owned a Z51 and a non Z51, my gripes with Z51 is cost if you don’t want it to track ,was nice in 2020 at $5700, also need mag on top of that to track or you don’t get the performance settings so your into 10k, brake dust is ridiculous on Z51 compared to non , more cost to change to carbotech 1521 ($800)This is f en ridiculous! 27 month wait , now and now this.

As it stands , non Z51 orders are currently limited to 375 units a week. Because of the mechanical limited-slip differential (RPO code GOJ). 2022 AND 2023 affected. So the first article I read was wrong. At least 2 days build worth of regular Vettes are getting built. When my turn comes , I am next on the list, I will decide then.
You wouldn't happen to know (or anyone else) what spots those 5 allocations represent, just curious what numbers they called (from their list) to see how quick their list is moving.

Not precisely but I was #3 in the last allocation (6 allocated, 1 non Z51, mag ride constraint) and passed on that. Currently #1 (5 allocated, all Z51, 1 mag ride), so I would assume we are at #11+ now (with people passing over for mag ride or non Z51).
