Default (2015 ordering) Rick @ Conti... Dave @ Kerbeck and others in the know...

Of the 2015 Corvette related timeline... one item has come true;
the 2015 order guide was made available on (or very near) May 26.

Rumor #2; is supposed to happen tomorrow... the 29th. Is supposedly when GM will accept a 2015 Corvette order via their electronic order system from their dealers

1. does is look like this will be happening?

2. If so, would one get an actual order number - tomorrow on the 29th - for a 2015 ? Allocations haven't yet been announced for 2015 - that I know of...

Supposedly on the 29th, the 2015 Corvette will be in the order system but there is no allocation till late June.

So technically a dealer can place an order on the bank but it will simply sit at Event Code 1100 until the dealer has allocation which will be late June at earliest.

Also, pricing probably won't be out till mid July so the first couple weeks of orders will be placed not knowing what the pricing is for those cars.

Dave and others; thank you !

If I understand all this, the answer is that 2015 orders can be placed today... and an order number assigned today ... correct ?

I'm being told that no 2015 orders will be entered until late June ??? It would kill me to see others with 2015 order numbers in-hand today.

It is exciting but I wouldn't get to hurt by not having the number in hand if others get them first. Even if he waits another month to enter the order it will still be in the same spot really. Order number makes the whole thing real though, I'm excited to get one as well!

Correct, don't worry about order numbers. I'm still talking to people who have had order numbers since this time last year and are still sitting at 1100!
