Allocation

[Bunny Hop]

Does anybody know , when Quebec dealers get their , 2023, C8 allocations? I am not sure I can trust my dealership with info anymore.

My source for the Z06 production numbers I posted earlier was a Brink of Speed YouTube video from 3 months ago (very credible info source):



See around 2.40 minutes mark in video for the detailed e-mail of the expected production numbers.

This guy is clearly well connected and about a month ago came up with new information from one of his parts supplier contacts that suggests start of Z06 production will be delayed until August (confirms Denis's comment) - not good since this means a quarter of the producton year is lost for Z06's. Will the actual production numbers stay at the 30/shift level originally planned, or will GM try and make up some production by increasing beyond 30 per shift? All will be revealed........ eventually, but it sounds like we will be waiting a while longer to get pricing and allocations going for the Z06.

It's not 30 per shift. Though it is close to that, but it is 30% of production is slated for the Z06. The Bash explained a lot of this stuff. The engineering for the motors is quite extensive as we found out which partly explains why 30% is maximum.

I had previously seen the 30% of production allocated to Z06, but decided the long term supplier contracts based on 30/shift (1,200/month) Z06 parts supply were a more reliable source for what GM is actually planning on doing. The far bigger impact on production will be the delay to August to actually start things rolling. The only good thing in this is that it gives the suppliers more time to get their own supplies for production of parts in shape and hopefully they will be able to deliver what BGA needs.

Does not sound like many people will be enjoying their new Z06's this summer. By the time they start arriving in people's driveways it will be time to put it away for the winter!

I am too far down my dealer's Z06 list to ever see a 2023 model year car, but quite hopeful on earlier rather than later in the 2024 model year.

I just read that one of the 2023 orders is now status 3300

I still believe they don't want to exceed the 30% plateau to keep Stingray sales up. However, we are talking 1 or 2 cars per shift, so it's really not too different.

but if GM wants z06 to be 30% of 2023, and z06 production is delayed until Aug, then after the start, z06 could account for more then 30 cars per day for the rest of the production year

 

[DenisC8]

I just read that one of the 2023 orders is now status 3300

as of today some 2023 cars that are status 3300 have been assigned TPW of May 16.

My dealer confirmed they got 2 allocations last Thursday which is on track with their normal allocation in the C8 era. Last two months they got zero. At least the conveyor belt is moving again.

... and I wonder what the delay is? Have you heard? If not engines they could be building them now in preparation for it.

it could be anything, hell 70th anniversary is delayed because of rims

My dealership told me today, they got 1 allocation ,for May . I am second on the list. So the next one is mine, I hope. Does this mean one allocation a month? They did say they would get at least 4 C8 this year. Is this normal for a dealership to get one allocation at a time?

My local dealer gets one per year. So depends on the dealership

My dealership, used to get 7 to 8 Vettes, a year, but since 2020 he gets 3 to 5 C8s. Anyway, he just told me I am next , so next allocation it is my C8.

Since this morning I am at 3300 with a TPW of 05/23.

Ask your dealer for your VIN # so you can track it, should be 3400 within a few days

 

[Bizbiz911]

The dealer did not have the VIN yesterday. You are right that the VIN should be available when the car hit 3400.

I’ve been informed a production week of may 23 for mine as well. Been waiting since Aug 2020.

 

[Mach147]

For those who got an allocation last week, was anyone able to get an order accepted with the Mag ride option? I'm reading the constraints this month are for FE2 and FE4 Mag ride suspensions.

 

[Mr.Corvette]

70% Z51 allocation that can order FE4. There is no FE2 allocations with non Z51 cars.
Dealers have to go into the system to see what type of car they have once they receive
an allocation.

Thanks for the info. So if a dealership normally gets two allocations a month, then one of those two should have FE4 available I would assume. Hmm, better start making sure the dealership likes me better than the other guy

Hi it's possible if both allocations are Z51 then both could have FE4 available. In the US, only 50% of the Z51 cars have FE4 available but up here, our odds are better.
