Well we are excited at all the inquiries for the all New Stingray Corvette,(still and its a year later) with 2015’s being order, there are a lot of questions, one being “What is covered/applied on the WA8 Clear Protective Film?” No worries, as GM is dropping this option before it is even launched for 2015 Corvette

GM tells us allocations will be based on past Stingray sales, which should be us in a great position for availability, BASED ON THEIR INTENDED PRODUCTION GOALS. Allocation number given August 28th

Now at this point, we are still not securing allocations until we see this number and we will, contact everyone on our email list over the past year and a half….thank-you everyone for understanding, giving us an opportunity to once again be a part of history and thank-you GM for making such a car to be sought after….Rick Conti

My question for Rick with the WA-8 Protective Film pkg Being dropped what about orders in the system with aTBW of 8/11 Will these be done or will the factory just delete that option?

RickConti@Coughlin

you would have to check with your dealer, but I would assume so it would be dropped

dwward

This explains the TPW delays members were experiencing who ordered the WA8 option. GM was having issues with the product.

Thank you so much for posting this information!

RickConti@Coughlin

my pleasure

Ricncon

Does this mean the orange is off constraint. I don't see it on your list

RickConti@Coughlin

we'll find out next Thursday

SteveDoten@ARH

Always on point.

Thanks Rick

toddrichards

Good stuff rick... Anywhere we can confirm these dates? What do you think the allocation break down will be for Z06? (1) - Z06 for every (10) Stingrays sold ????

RickConti@Coughlin

no formula was given....they did mention "some time during 2015 model run" every Stingray dealer would receive at least 1 Z06

jimmyb

Hey Rick,
So, "Based on their intended production goals"....

Are you able (or allowed) to tell us what the "production goals" are for the Z06/Z06 Convertible?

If not, no problem. Thanks, as always, for your information.

Jimmy

RickConti@Coughlin

no I cannot, I have a good guess...I nailed the Stingray number...but I will wait for GM to announce before we get off in the wrong direction..

Hang in there....thanks...

again, this is all much sooner than even I anticipated.....I'm glad,...not much more hair for me to loose

Rick; THANK YOU for the update. In your crystal ball do you see any "constraint problems" for anything on the ZO6???

RickConti@Coughlin

yes and no further comment...

dwward

Um, this one doesn't take a crystal ball. There are constraint problems building Stingrays every week with items as mundane as standard roof panels.

VY427

Thanks for the info.

One negative...GM still can't fully supply some of the options they already offer and they're introducing new ones? Get the current constraints sorted out before creating new ordering problems. It's very frustrating for potential buyers.

dwward

It's the inevitable nature of 'just in time' manufacturing.

My 2013 Jeep GC Summit build was delayed 3 or 4 weeks because of a constraint on that particular radio/nav system.

I'm guessing it's even worse for Stringrays and especially the Z06 because so many of the parts are very specialized items with limited production. Big difference between the parts that make up the Z51 MRSC and the suspension system of a Chevy Cruz.

laborsmith

Yeah, even the Cruze as well as other Chevy vehicles will have constraints from time to time but such go unnoticed because dealers order what they can get so they have stock on hand, because for the most part, if they don't got it they can't sell it. Corvette is the exception to prove the rule: can anyone imagine the typical Cruze buyer waiting multiple months to get exactly what they want?
