Too bad we don't have the raw data to tease out the production numbers of various combos.

That data has to exist, just look at all the ridiculous stats they keep for baseball! I'm sure someone at GM goes through all of this info at the end of every model year in order to determine what's popular and what's not.

I for one would love to know how many 2018s were built in both Torch Red and the light grey interior. I'm sure the number will be low (and I know it doesn't raise the value of my car but I just enjoy knowing it's not so common) And given the fact that Canadian spec cars are such a small % of production, it's possible I have the only TR/Grey 2018 in my country.

Patman , a lot of that info might come out during NCM Bash. There was a chart like this released at last bash. This is the updated version of that chart for 17. The 18 should have some very low color combo numbers due to short production run,

Great production numbers on the GS and ZO6. Unfortunately it looks like the MT is on it's way out. Very sad!

And one of those Torch Red GS Coupes is MINE!

Took delivery on Dec. 8th from Criswell and due to constant snow storms and salt caked on the roads since I drove it home, haven't been able to drive it since!

That's in large part to the Carbon 65 vehicle (which was only available in CMG) actually selling out from their 650 allocation. This is akin to the Grand Sport CE doing the same for Watkins Glen Gray. Good color, but got somewhat inflated numbers for 2017 being second only to white. Fast forward to today's chart, and you get more realistic numbers for Watkins Glen Gray (around 4th/5th).

I suspect Ceramic Matrix Gray to be more on par with Blade Silver for the 2019 model year since a) Carbon 65 will not be available and b) the updated color selection now that we have Sebring Orange for a full year and Black Rose which is completely unavailable for 2019.

I forgot about that chart from last year's bash! I don't think they've shown that chart too often, but hopefully it's something they are going to do every year now.

Foosh you and I are the only people with a 15 build date I think, and according to the stat sheet there are only 15 being built in my color and in convert form no wonder the build date never mover off 1/15/. What are you ordering.

I ordered a Sebring Orange, Z51 convertible, M7, 2LT, MSRC, black top/interior/wheels/carbon flash pkg. Only 2 Sebring Orange Stingray convertibles built/ordered according to the table above. Mine was initially assigned a 1/22 TPW, but moved up a week.

Agreed.


According to my math skills, 29% of all Corvette Sales was Z06s and 32% were GS (LT and LZ packages only).

Z06 have their own sequence numbers. (12th digit of VIN is 6 for Z06 vs 1 for non-Z06).

Sadly trading it . . . I got a good enough trade offer from Mike Furman at Criswell to make it more cost-effective to trade rather than sell considering the MD state sales tax deduction off-set.

She's definitely a keeper though. No warranty repairs at all in her lifetime other than a burned out interior bulb. I kinda feel like an idiot doing this. I just had to have Sebring Orange, as irrational as that may be.

Remeber that 650 of those ceramic matrix grey cars were the carbon 65 editions. I have #171 and its truly an amazing color. Turns heads across the board.

Since GM knows how many 2018 orders are in their system, I suspect the "unbuilt" cars are included in the 2018 tally, as you said.

Default Looking @ the Power Train Stats

Since our Z06 is built and it is a M7 I noticed that 698 M7 were built and only 697 got the 3.42 gear ! Sure hope ours isn't the one shipped with no rear gear !!!

Congrats Foosh, I've been very busy over the past few weeks so I have not been on here much. Just curious why you are ordering another car? Just cause or did something happen? In any case, best of luck with the new one! Look forward to seeing it.
