stuck at 2000. Why ?
I ordered the base model C7 non-Z51, with no constraints at the end of September and immediately went to 2000 where I remain until this day. I am still awaiting a production date. Can anyone opine why this might be so? I'm not able to get any additional information from my dealer or Chevrolet. Seems to me like these are the cars they would want to produce quickly. Any thoughts ? Thanks.

If your dealer is not talking about the progress with you, it 'could' mean they're one of the smaller ones with very little allocation. GM allocates the larger numbers to dealers that sold the most over the last year. It's a performance based ordering system.
On a base model (non-Z51) you could probably find your color in short time by calling forum dealers.

These are the replies from Chevy:
" Order has been placed by your dealership and accepted by Chevrolet. The next step in the process will be the assignment of a Target Production Week (TPW.) However, at this time a TPW has not been established for this order. "
I also recently send a PM to Chevy Customer Service on this forum who confirmed 2000 status, but that's it.
Maybe I just need patience. I'm new to Corvette, but I was invited up to Monticello Race Track at the end of September for the Precision Drive and drove 3 of them all day long at the track and was SO HOOKED I ordered one the following day!

That is precisely what is going on. The dealer who took your deposit and order did not have an allocation from GM for your car. Until that dealer receives it's allocation, I believe you are going to sit at Order Status 2000 indeffiently.

I don't believe this statement is accurate. If his dealer put his order in the system and they did not have an allocation, then he would be sitting at 1100. Once the dealers allocation gets assigned to his vehicle by the dealer then it moves from 1100 to 2000. My guess is that if he placed his order on October 1st it was 1100 then and sometime between Oct 1 and now the dealers allocation was assigned to him and moved him to 2000. So, I am just not sure he has been at 2000 for the last 30 days. JMO

"Your dealer has configured and requested a Corvette Stingray with your specifications. Until your dealership is granted allocation, and your options and features are available to produce the order, it will remain in the dealerships order bank.
Only when your dealership has allocation, and the options and features in your configuration are available, will the vehicle be scheduled for production."
At this point it does not really matter as my C6 is in hibernation for the winter, and I can wait until April for my C7.

Perhaps it is just because you are in line behind all the other non-Z51 that have been orderedsince this spring. In the big scheme of things, a late Sept order is a very latecomer. I've had an order in since early July and only recently went to status 3100 .

Thank you. That would make perfect sense. I guess I have been seeing people post their production timelines for the non Z51 orders where they place an order and go to 3000 a few days later. I started to feel like I was lost somewhere on the workbench, but it is reassuring to know their are others waiting longer than me.

Yes, but given the large number of cars at 2000, there has to be a system to schedule them. While it obviously takes into account parts availability and scheduling, I would hope it also gives some consideration to length of wait, all other things being equal.
I would hate to think if given the choice of my 4 month old order and someone else's 2 week old order, his would go first, all other factors being equal.

Build Codes
When your order gets to 3000, you can be pretty sure your car will be built in the foreseeable future. At that point everything necessary to build it is available, then it goes to sequencing (3100). 2000 means Chevy has accepted the order from the dealer, nothing more than at some point it will be built.

1100 Order Placed at Dealership
2000 Order Accepted by Chevrolet

Problem Solved. Thank you!

Such a nice gesture that he would go out of his way to offer to help someone who is not a customer of his, that lives across the country.
That's the kind of dealer you want !
