Yes, so the column under National Quantity is the number of constraint options available nationally. The column under Constraint Qty is the number of constraint options avaible for our store. We can conclude from the national availability that GM is not taking any Z06 orders and only 201 stingray orders from all US dealers in this weeks cycle.
I've posted this report the last few weeks and it doesn't seem to draw much interest. I'm not sure why as it gives us a clear idea of the short term future production. So far I haven't been contacted by GM asking not to share this info and if the members find it of interest Ill keep posting it each Thursday.

How dose this list work? For the week listed they can only make 121 Z51's and 80 non-Z51? And everything else listed with zeros means that week they can not provide any of those options?

So if your order is accepted dose that mean all the parts required to build your car per the spec are available and allocated for that build week? I’d like to think they would not accept the build order if parts are not available to allocate. ?

If the order is pulled and goes to event code 3000 it has been "Accepted by Production Control" and will be built aside from some sort of disaster. GM says that the parts are available and it will be scheduled for production. They will at times make changes as they did with the redline rim color.

Thanks for sharing,

Do the constraints come out weekly or monthly? When does allocations come from GM? Weekly or monthly?

Just trying to better understand all this none sense

Thanks

What is a "Non Z-51 handling package"? I don't see that in the "Build your own" web site.

‘I believe it means you can order with MSRC (mag-ride). Someone with more knowledge than me will correct this if I’m wrong.

Orders and their constraints are done weekly. Consensus is done twice a month. We generally know while doing a consensus what allocations we will be getting. The allocation system generally works as a turn and earn from one year to the next. There are also other considerations that affect allocations from time to time.

Non Z51 is exactly that an order without the Z51 option.

Is this a National list that GM puts out? It seems like that is not many total cars to produce in a week. Is this from one dealer's allocations?

It is National Availability and if you look back at my prior allocation posts you see even less production. I have to speculate that they may be working on Export units, Pilot units or else the part shortage has brought things to a grinding halt.

Help/Guidance please.... I received a March allocation. Dealer went to place my order which is a NON Z51 coupe, and order is currently rejected due to the Z51 constraint.

What are my next steps.... am I SOL? Does my order go on hold and hopefully next week the Z51 constraint is removed and my order proceeds?

You might be able to contact the dealer and add Z51 package and resubmit. This is discussed in numerous past allocation periods. Sometimes it works, other times not. Keep in mind the human error possibilities if you change your order a lot. Once you get an allocation and event code 3000 you are committed.

What about the redline rims? Those are on my build.

Thanks to everyone for the great info. I really have been stressing out over this ordering process, but now that I know my car at 3000 will be built as a 23 I can go back to being out of this world excited that eventually I will own a to me Corvette supercar.

You and your dealer have a couple of options. If he has an allocation for this weeks cycle but does not have one of the 80 Non-Z51 constraints but has a Z51. You could change your order or he could prioritize your existing order to #1 and hope that one of the other available allocations from a different dealer needs the Z51 option but has a non-Z51 allocation. Your dealer will need to have another order in the system with the Z51 option and meet the other constraints or he will loose the allocation. It basically allows the system to swap constraints between dealer allocations. Good luck as its a bit of effort on their part but is very doable. I run into this on my last allocation and I was able to get a Z51 car when I was allocated a non-Z51. I hope this makes some kind of sense.
