Supposedly there are some unmasked C7s already built/running around?

Isn't it true that C7 allocation is determined by C6 orders in these final months? I could swear that was a part of the 2013 Corvette dealer information posted here a little while back.
Some dealers might figure that every C6 they sell at cost gives them an early-months C7 on which they can make fat profit.

For this particular dealer though I don't think they usually offered deals this good at the beginning of a new vehicle sales cycle that is also at the height of the summer sales period. But "pump and dump" may be part of their game to stay at or near the top in annual Corvette sales and to reap getting the max C7 allocation, especially early.

And, if their deals are this great now, just wait to see what happens to prices at the end of 2012 and over those cold wintry months early 2013, especially if the economy is still iffy!
Also, I agree that the Jalopnick C7 rendering, if true, could change everything.

Seems like they are pushing huge discounts before any substantial info is released on the c7, makes sense for anyone who knows beyond the shadow of a doubt that the c7 is going to be a far superior car inside and out right?
And that's been GMs goal all along, they want you to say "WOW, I have to trade up!"
Not "BLEH, I'll keep my c6!" and dealers know what's coming.
Here's a clip from the c5-c6 bash, I'm sure it was posted ad Nauseum though.

And if the C7 looks anything close to the Jalopnik renderings C6 sales might increase.

Really? You don't think that everybody on this site already knows the C7 is coming? C6 sales are down and will continue to drop because if the economy and the fact that the C7 isn't that far away.
And if the C7 looks anything close to the Jalopnik renderings C6 sakes might increase.

Sakes? As in fer crissakes, what the heck is that ugly thing? It's a Corvaro!

Since it was already announced that there would be no tours at the assembly plant on June 5 and 6, I think there is a chance something might be going on at the plant in regard to the C7 on those days. Just my 2 cents worth...
