In conclusion I pose a question to those more worldly in these matters;
With all the above nonsense taken into account, how many of the E-Ray and Z06 cars will one of the top dealers put out yearly?

we don't have enough historical data but I think that for 2024 production year the top 2 dealers in Canada can expect 12 Z06s, 12 E-Rays and 76 Stingrays

Fun with numbers, anyone?
This chart is designed to show the yearly allocation of vehicles based on Dealer ranking.
There is very little (if any) real data here.
Tell me where you think I am high, low, or simply 'off my rocker'.
I look forward to your criticism (If I get enough of it, I will adjust and resubmit).

The premises used are as follows:
  • There are 450 GM Dealers, and each Dealer will get at least 1 Corvette.
  • Canada receives 3700 Corvettes, broken down into 50% Stingray, 25% E-Ray, and 25% Z06.
  • The 'Top 3' Dealers receive 90 Corvettes each.
  • The next 7 Dealers receive 40 Corvettes each.
  • The next 90 Dealers receive 20 Corvettes each, and so on.
If this 'chart' were accurate (which of course it is not), one would be able to determine where your deposits are best placed.
That is, being #44 on a list with the top 3 should actually be better than being #3 with a very low volume Dealer.

Well, I doubt Canada will get 900 Z06’s this year… I don’t mean to be negative 😉

Just go C8tracker.com for real numbers per dealer for 2023 that will show you for example that only 249 Canadian dealers have received 2023 corvettes
 
I think I am getting closer.
  • If the percentages of allocations amongst dealers remains as per 2023, and
  • If the Canadian market gets 3500 Corvettes in total, and
  • If of those 3500, 70% go to Stingrays, 15% to Z06, and 15% to E-Rays,
Then, I may actually get the car I want, when I want it.

That said, If the dog hadn't stopped to take a crap in the woods, he probably would have caught the rabbit.

Canada got around 2000 2023 C8s so far, and will get around 500 more once everything is said and done. Total Canadian allocation number is irrelevant to you as you are on the list at particular dealers not Canada, and chances are their wait list are longer than average.

Don't forget that the CDN Z06 numbers are not very accurate.

Each, as in a top dealer will see 100 Corvettes a year?
I know it's all guesswork, but it's a start.

Ruby, your new to this and you like numbers so let me bounce some off of you. First I think Denis is pretty bang on with his estimate-"top 2 dealers in Canada can expect 12 Z06s, 12 E-Rays and 76 Stingrays".
This coming Friday May 19th will be one year since the start of regular production for the 2023 model year when they built 97 cars that day. Since then they have built 32,525 Stingrays, 3414 70th anniversary Stingrays and 2620 Z06's. I left out the captured fleet cars for GM's usage. We now know production runs through Sept 1st so that will be almost 15 1/2 months for the
2023. Now back in 2019, they ran the production at the end of C7 for 20 months. They built with one shift 34,822 cars and 2953 were the top of the line ZR1's. There was 2441 Coupes and 512 Convertibles. Canada only got 131 of those ZR1's, 95 Coupes and 36 Convertibles. That works out to 4.4%
For the 2019 model year over the 20 month period Canada got 2986 Corvettes which is 8.6%. Top Corvette dealers in that year did get over 100 cars but the top two only got 3 ZR1's each.
I know for a fact that one of the dealers that is in the top 15 of the current C8 Tracker (which is great) only got 1 ZR1 back in 2019.
Our top two dealers for 2023 have already surpassed the ZR1 number by already getting 5 Z06's waiting on #6. If Canada is at 4.4% of Z06 production which is higher than the 3.9% production
that we got for the 2022 model year, Canada should be around 115 Z06's to date. Three weeks ago for the first time they were able to build 250 Z06's in a week. The goal is to build 200
a week but they have fallen a bit short the last couple of weeks. Of that number we might get 8-10 of them. Z06 allocations for Canada have been zero for the last couple of months.
September 5th, 2024 production begins for all models including E-Ray. That puts more pressure on production and I don't expect the 2024 production year to last much longer than 9 months.
Has anyone totaled up how many C8's have come to Canada from the 249 dealers that are listed there? I am hoping our overall 2023 production percentage is up to around 5% to offset the hit we took last year, losing our cars to Europe and Australia.

Yes, I am very new to all of this.
I find the entire purchasing process, and Corvette 'culture' (is that fair?) intriguing, to say the least.
The knowledge shown by some of the membership is quite admirable.
I am also greatly appreciative of the willingness to share.
I will plod along on my quest for ownership, hopefully not embarrassing myself too much as I go.

I as well knew nothing about Corvettes until owning the C8 and joining this forum. I have both learned a lot and been thoroughly entertained!!!
