I knew it was gonna happen. It was just a matter of time, but it will be probably just a short delay and I wouldn't worry to much about it.....

x2 - you can't expect all the parts to stay in supply with a super high install rate like it's had...and it means it'll go up in price too to level it out, long term..is my guess..

What does 48 mean on the Z51 ? Does this effect orders @ 3400 or just orders @ 1100 ?

if your order is past 1100, you are not effected

48 is how many are available for the entire country THIS WEEK for allocation release.

That's not exactly true in relation to the 48, but too difficult to explain without getting way to deep into GM's allocation system. A better way to put it, is 10% of all orders this week can have Z51, and each dealer is assigned how many he can order in advance.

How many C7s are being built each day?

48 Z51's at 10% of C7's built for one week would equal 480 C7's that week, or 96 C7's per day for that week.

Is 96 pretty close to the number of C7's being built each day?

And guess which forum member is/was scheduled to go beyond 1100 this week with his Z51.

Go ahead. Guess.

I'm in the same boat too. Not one of the lucky 10% this week.
