GM is counting on having good enough sales to keep production at a rate that would push the shipping people!

They are pushing 2000. My car is 1518. I hope they drive it right up on a transport to keep it out of the way of newer production.

The will be close to 3000 built by October 1. 6 months that means about we will have about 15k - 18k built more than enough for people who want one.

Not even close to demand...before the economy tanked Corvettes were over30,000 a year. 18,000 will not meet demand. 30,000 corvettes is about .002 of .01% of the current car market.. 30,000 doesn't move the car sales meter just seems like a lot to a Corvette fan.

Supply vs Demand, are you saying that 18,000 Corvettes in 6 months will not meet the demand, if that is correct then expect a good price hike. Economics state if supply can not meet demand the prices can go up, if supply exceeds demand prices go down. One other point we are seeing a constraint developing in the Z51 because demand is exceeding supply, there is a good chance of a price hike on that option (Which is a steal @$2800) ECO101

Agreed. Economics 202. We are seeing a price increase now with the add on to MSRP at the dealer level. My point was 18,000 new Stingrays will not meet the demand. I am sure the price during the 2014 production will remain the same. What would be the point of raising the price which could in effect lesson demand? Looking to increase the profit could kill the golden goose. Hogs get fed, pigs get eaten.
