Thank you, John. This info is different from what I'm getting on the "supposedly" up to date National Constraints Report. Here's everything that's listed for non-Z06s:

017 CORVETTE (VET)

Estimated TPW: 15-Aug-16

Constraint #: 605

Models affected: 1YW07/1YX07�� &MEL&Z51/Z16 Manual Coupe with Z51 or Z16 (Note that 1YW67 and 1YX67 are not listed.)

% of national allocation quantity: 0%

Estimated duration: LESS Than 4 Weeks

Cause: Startup Restriction

Mike Furman confirmed the constraint applies to both coupes and convertibles (with Z51 or Z16 and MEL (Manual transmission)).

I'm getting tired of this! My C7 Z51 M7 needs to be built already.

I had to wait three months, but it was soooo worth the wait!

Maybe they decided to stop building C7's with manual transmissions, and constraining them to zero is how GM plans to accomplish this?

PS remember, it's NOT a transmission change per se...

I just have to ask again, what's the big secret? If it is being made better then why can't we know what it is? For those of us who have actually placed orders, don't we have a right to know?

All of the secrecy is very annoying for those who are waiting as well as for those of us who try to make a living by selling these cars. I also have a friend who knows the answer but is sworn to secrecy. It makes no sense to me. Grrrr.

I agree, that's why I like busting ba!!s to those that post "I know why and you don't" posts.

Assuming that's true, I don't understand why it cannot be revealed? Sounds like it is a good thing!

I am new to this so I apologize for not understanding where to ask:


I am waiting for my '17 order (Yellow Stingray) to be picked up (1100 now) and the dealer just told me the Z51 body color spoiler is on constraint so he asked me if I wanted to drop the spoiler to expedite the order - anyway for me to get an idea of how long I would wait if I opt to keep it on the order?

Just got an update from my dealer: "It's not on constraint they just simply aren't accepting orders with that spoiler right now. I don't know if it is an option that they are going to delete and haven't reflected that on the consumer site yet or if it is just simply not available with that color. The order website doesn't indicate -- it lets you physically click the spoiler option but then it sits in the bank with a specification error saying the spoiler is not available."


Anyone know what that means? I cannot believe I cannot get the spoiler!
