^ ummmmmmmm . . . . . You just posted 6 days ago that you are going to wait 6 more months before ordering a C7 to give the plant a chance to work out all their quality issues . . . . . Indeed, you are a Goofy One

They could do 2 things to fix this discrepancy. Raise the Z51 price considerably or squeeze their suppliers for more parts. Lets hope they do the second one.

I would say that won't happen. A small increase maybe but a large increase would be counterproductive to how they market this. The biggest benefit to waiting for a 2015 is that hopefully they get these quality problems sorted out at the plant by then.

I wouldn't expect a lot of the second one either because they clearly have been pressing for more from their suppliers and, IMO, we have seen it has caused some quality issues. Their system is set to produce a certain number of the Z51 and they are going to have to live with that. It might be a mistake to ramp up to produce more (if they could) and then have a drop in demand.

I like this..Velocity Yellow, Z51,Carbon Fiber Int.,Preformance Exhaust, Red calipers, Black mirrors\spoiler, black wheels..My order is still 1100 accepted, whatever that means. I was told Mar\Apr del which is fine for me, but anything earlier is not a problem. Ordered Aug 6\13..Lost my 2007 July 8\13..

I will agree that there may be more base verts built than what we have seen with the coupes, but until I see some real statistics, I am not willing to just guess that they will build non Z51 verts to deal with the current availability issues. JMO
