Was just about to order a 2026 Stingray, but how fast can I get a 2027?

Hey Gents,
Was about to order a new 26 Stingray to be built but now with this new LS6 engine coming for 2027, how quickly do they realistically ship out the next model year? Fall or is that too hopeful?

As early as Aug

Wow, if they get here that quick might be worth the extra 2-3 month wait!..

Would I have to wait for a local dealer to get a specific 2027 Stingray alotment then? Kinda confused on this alotment thing

Very few allocations left for 2026 models and of those there are many constraints so you may not be able to get a 2026 factory order now.

Try asking Scott (aka @Mr. Corvette).

Scott, introduce yourself and try to help this guy out!

In my opinion, wait for the ‘27 or buy a used example. The new motor is much needed as the Stingray isn’t all that quick. My C7s for some reason felt faster and sounded a lot better.

Your right on that . Stingray does need an aftermarket exhaust for sure. It's kinda like watching a blockbuster movie on your big OLED and listening through the TV speakers instead of your surround sound system.
