It would suck if you got a Z06 before someone who has waited longer than you for their Stingray!
Having one list means you get your Z06 before someone gets a Stingray if you've waited longer. I fail to see how having one list hurts anyone and can only help keep things fair.

I had XPEL Ultimate PPF applied to the front clip (hood, front facia, front fenders up to the doors and mirrors) as a standard package and added the A pillars, roof line, rockers, door sills and boomerangs. You should budget around $3K for this work or around $2K if you just want the front clip done.
No it wouldn’t!
in my simple mind, they are 2 different cars.
Why would a dealer not accept their Z06 allocations? If you are saying that a person waiting for a stingray has the first right of refusal on a Z06 because they’ve been waiting longer than someone who has been waiting since 2020 for the Z06, then maybe.

Did mine with that entire package for just under $2K in BC.

No, that's not what I said, but that does bring up an interesting idea. If you want a Stingray and you've waited longer than the Z06 guy would you be offered the Z06 if it came up first?No it wouldn’t!

The lawyers are going to have a great time with the dealers!!!! The "list" process is not in writing nor does it specify any model it simply holds a spot for an allocation, what you do with the allocation is your personal business and I bet there are a bunch of lawyers that will agree. Unless the dealers have something in writing that says people can't do it, there will be people challenging the system.

You are right. It's an honour system

Are all the big dealers in Ontario? Are none of them in the West Coast? When I was asking around Dueck seemed to be the most confident in saying they get the most in the lower mainland.
I really haven't had that good experience with Dueck or clear communication. It's always in ambiguous terms. My sale's person exact words were "we just got 10 just now" which I believe was referring to allocations. When I pressed for how many allocations they get a month he started saying "sometimes 10, sometimes 5, and sometimes none". Which leads me to believe the answer is probably 5ish. 10 seems to be the back up from getting nothing in the Winter, and none seems to be the Winter freeze.
If anyone has any experience with Dueck, I'd love to know.

You've been on so many lists and got so many cars I doubt anyone would have any sympathy for you!

Well I'm saying it wouldn't be fair!You've been on so many lists and got so many cars I doubt anyone would have any sympathy for you!
I don't know why everyone thinks that just because they've been on a list for a while that they will be granted the ability to purchase a Z06. Dealers are keeping seperate lists. If not, then folks will win the lottery for sure.
I just know at my dealership it's based upon two lists.

It makes little to no difference right now, just wait a year or two. I suspect a convoy will block dealers with 2 lists!
Nice! That's the best documentation anyone has produced so far!!!!

I have purchased a Vette from Dueck. Great service and experience! Having said this, sometimes it is the small dealerships that only get 2-4 allocations/year that one can actually get a car quickly and at MSRP. This was the case when I bought the C8. Small dealer, no inflated fees, great service and immediate access to promised allocations. It really is “a roll of the dice.”

I should say, it's just the communication that's been poor. Really wish it wasn't like pulling teeth to just get a straight forward number of where I am on the list. I remember calling in and asking if I could speak to my sales person, and he wasn't in, so the receptionist transferred me to the other person who dealt with C8 orders and he was so rude. Told me to call the sales person I was dealing with and ask him and hung up on me.
I can't comment much on the service and experience.

there may not be any feathers to ruffle
hint: your not on the list or anywhere near the top or even the middle
