... and this news came in the form of click-bait youtube videos based on random internet forum speculation of 60 seconds worth of heresay information over ten minutes? When Chevy announces it, I'll listen.

How can something be "delayed" when it hasn't even been announced? Saying "it might be delayed" is like saying its a rumor of a rumor.

Part came from people stating GM will want to fulfill many of the backed up stingray orders before moving on..
IF thats true then what I need all of you to do is Cancel your orders so we can get our Z06 faster

Stingray: $59,995
Z06: $85,000+ probably...
Yep, let's hold off on that Z06 and make more of the $25,000 CHEAPER car.
"People", you'll find, usually have NO idea what they're talking about.
Chevrolet will introduce the Z06 AS SOON AS THEY POSSIBLY CAN.

Let’s be honest. It would be stupid to release the Z06 anytime soon when the C8 is red hot. We all love the next hot thing but business wise it would be that just wouldn’t make sense!

The C7 Stingray was hot as a pistol in 2014. Guess what GM introduced in 2015?
The C6 was hot as a pistol in 2005. Guess what GM introduced in 2006?
Given the choice between selling 40,000 C8 Stingrays in a year or selling 32,000 Stingrays and 8,000 Z06's in the same year, which scenario would YOU choose? They will still sell 40,000 C8's to 40,000 happy people. The second scenario nets GM $200 MILLION dollars more.
The Z06 will be released just as soon as it can possibly be released.

Zo6 will do well regardless. So why put it out now when you have a hot product you can barely get to customers now. Yes it would be stupid to release now when stingray in doing better than well!
So, it would be "stupid" to release a car that will sell for $25,000 more (at least) than the base car?

It can be delayed internally. Just because they haven’t announced it yet to the public doesn’t mean the announcement date couldn’t have changed. Only the people involved in the project know obviously but it’s certainly possible for something that have been announced yet to be delayed. What kind of ridiculous statement is that?

You can't just use the MSRP difference of two different models and say the manufacturer will profit the difference, thats incredibly false.

Because you would miss out on a year of sales. Remember there are plenty of people that will not buy a base model corvette. Waiting just limits the total number of sales overall which is why the C7and C6 z06 was released even though the base model sold very well in the first year.
