What does "free flow levels" mean on RPO Z30?

ThrottleUp

I wondered exactly what "free flow levels" meant too..... thanks for asking. I also couldn't figure out what is the "DSOP" as in "the August 9..... or the August 30.... DSOP".

We're not as familiar with the terms you used, there are several questions posted in this thread. Thank you !

Ken Fichtner

Free flow = dealers are able to order the option without any constraints. Capacity can meet demand at this time.

DOSP = Dealer order submission period. Dates relative to when dealers can submit order requests.

Ken I appreciate order check
Order # QNNM4B

Ken Fichtner

Viz,
•Final unallocated sold order submission scheduled to end Sept 21, 2012
This means that dealers cannot submit an order request for a sold Corvette outside of their available allocations after September 21, 2012
•Last Dealer Order Submission: Aug 30 – Sep 4, 2012
This means that the last day that a dealer can submit an order for a Corvette painted Supersonic Blue is September 4, 2012

Donn,
Order number QNNM4B has reached an event code of 3100 with a tpw of 9/3/12
