Just curious if GM plans on making 30k+ C8's per year like normal. Or, are they going to slice that number down?

Not this year! So far they are on track to make less than 10K. Four weeks in production and approximately 1600 produced.

From another thread:

Quote: Let's do some math and make some assumptions. First this assumes that there are no part shortages due to corona virus issues. Let's assume that they get to full production on April 1 and that 2020 production ends on Aug 31. With a couple of holidays during that time, that gives 106 work days. Full production rate is 11.6 per hour with two 8 hour shifts per work day. So, 106 * 11.6 * 8 * 2 = 19,673. Assume March is at half that rate. That another 2,041. There were at least 1,500 built in February. Add those all up and you get 23,214. They will built well over 15,000.

At 11.6 per hour for 2 shifts for a full production year (48 weeks) that would amount to 44,544.

I do like your numbers better than mine. Maybe I will get a MY20. It will be close. I am at ~210 at MacMulkin as of today.

We still tend to look at this thing like same old same old and it's not. They have tooled and developed RHD, they wouldn't do that to sell 500 cars. Even if they only do 5,000, that's 5,000 of production that the good old USA won't be getting.

Actually they'll make more than they can reasonably sell -- hence the massive incentives that kick in mid-cycle as always. Making a used Corvette one of the great used car buys.

DEPRE C8 in this case.
