Base Corvettes = Fast Production
I ordered a Base C7 on October 1. Torch Red, Carbon only on dash, 7 Spd, NDD, 2LT ...
Today I received the following email:
Thank you for contacting Chevrolet regarding your 2014 Corvette Stingray order. We apologize for the delay in our response. We have received a large number of inquiries since our recent shipment announcement. We are working as hard as we can to provide the latest updates.
As of October 16, 2013, the status of Order Number RHRBNP is the following:
This vehicle has been produced and assigned Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) 4195. Please be aware that we have shipped a number of Corvettes to the national rail head in Nashville, TN, for a final quality review of each car prior to being shipped to dealers. This final review is part of our standard procedures for a launch.
As we indicated in the press release, we have built nearly 1000 Stingrays, and we are using facilities in Nashville to expedite the process. Once the review for each vehicle is completed, the vehicle will be shipped directly from Nashville to the dealer. We do not have an estimate we can share on the amount of time a particular vehicle will spend in Nashville.
Please understand our number one priority is to deliver the greatest, highest quality Corvette Stingray -- to every dealer, to every customer, every time.
We appreciate your patience and recognize the high amount of anticipation for the 2014 Corvette Stingray.
Thank you for contacting Chevrolet!
Sincerely,

This is great news for you. It is disturbing that it appears cars continue to be shipped to Nashville. I ordered a week prior to you and I'm stuck at 3400.

I agree seems like someone needs to update the canned email. I'm also not sure if my car will be included to TN or headed to Nebraska. It appears that the QA process is pretty quick according to others at this point.

If the OP had scanned the original E-Mail the he got from Chevrolet, (or typed it out word for word) you'll see that Chevrolet said "we have build nearly 1000 Stingrays". There is always the possibility that Chevrolet is (differentiating) between BASE STINGRAYS and Z-51's!
Hey, it's a thought anyway.

Got same reply.Ordered mine 9/27/13. Query: Why the differences? Does this relate back to the dealer's allocation allotment issue?
#12
I don't think this is an allocation issue but I could be wrong. My dealer told me they had 4 allocation slots and mine was the last of them. My understanding is that if Chevy says they have accepted your order, then it is a real allocation. My theory is that they are waiting until they have enough orders from a certain geographic area so that they can set a production week that will make enough to fill a truck going to a certain area. For example I'm in upstate NY. If they only have 3 orders from some radius around me and they produce them, they are just going to sit in some lot until they get 17 more orders from around here and can fill a truck. This is just my theory.
