Can you supply a quick synopsis regarding what these percentages mean?

The higher the percentage, lower the delay?
The lower the percentage, lower the delay?

Usually good with numbers, but sometimes, they drive me

I replied to you in the sticky thread:

So, for example the standard roof at 40% means that on a nationwide basis, only 40% of the allocations given to dealers will include the standard roof. The results for an individual dealer may vary substantially from this 40% figure. For example, they may get lucky and have their only allocation allow the painted roof (so, 100% for them). On the other hand, they might be unlucky and get no painted roofs out of 4 allocations (0% for them). It seems that the larger dealers tend to get a slightly higher percentage and smaller dealers tend to get a smaller percentage.

When dealers are given their allocations, they know exactly which allocations allow which constraint items.
So, the lower the number, the more difficult it is to get that option.

Its interesting that the Z51 is constrained at 50%and the Z06 is constrained to 45%. Is the demand for Z51 only a little higher than Z06?

No, the SUPPLY for Z51 is a little higher than the SUPPLY for Z06.

I get that, I'm talking about demand. I'm just surprised that the supply of Z51 is only 5% higher than Z06. I'd have thought they'd sell twice as many Z51's given the price of the Z06.

It's not Z06 that's constrained at 45%, it's Z07 which is a performance option that's available only on the Z06. Z07 can be ordered only on 45% of Z06 orders.

Currently, the BGAP is trying to put out 7 Z06s per hour out of a target of 18 cars per hour, so about 39% of production. Apparently, this is the max they can make, given supply issues and Z06 demand, without totally screwing up Stingray production and screwing those customers.

As to the Z07, think of it as the "Z51" package for the Z06. More track stuff, stiffer suspension, more aero, and higher performance tires.
