Default Red Mist production

Todays Kerbeck update

28 GPHs at 3300
2 at 3400 with TPWs

is this the same elsewhere? Seems slow to ramp up scheduled production of this color

I am curious also, as mine is one of the 28 (although I would prefer not to take delivery during January).

MacMulkin will update their website tomorrow to reflect today's activity. Most GPH cars were at 3300 as of 12/24, with a couple stuck at 3000 and some at 3400. Hoping to see mine go to 3400.

Wait 17 months after deposit, pay extra $995, and go to the back of the line as hundreds of November allocations move ahead of you. Of course, no explanation from Corvette folks and no indication of when the hold up might end. Oh, you want to change your color now? No can do chump. You mad bro? Pound sand.

Nothing except for deliveries updated today, since the info is grabbed first thing in the morning by Kerbeck (same with MM). Tomorrow will be the first opportunity for any changes in 2 weeks due to holiday plant shutdown. I expect we should see some good movement this week.

Kerbeck list doesnt change- The last 3 days there's been no noticeable movement. There are a few 1/4 TPW but not much more than that- Also no GPH movement. Havent seen a museum delivery red mist either and Im watching

In most cases “the wheel that squeaks gets the oil”. But after so many irate posts from PCMIII it looks like maybe the opposite has happened.

My Red Mist HTC has a 1-4-21 TPW, and originally looked to be built on Friday, 1-8, but now due to PL going back to 8 hrs. per shift, with subsequent reduction in daily produced units, looks like my car will roll of the line next Monday, 1-11.

Just joined the 3400 club today. TPW 1/11. VIN 2956. Now I need to check the production schedule.

I'm wound up to 11 now.

Yeah, maybe because Corvette managers couldn't care less how customers feel about the "service" they are not getting. But the vast majority of Kerbeck's red mist orders are going nowhere too and it is the biggest Corvette dealer on the planet. All those folks are getting screwed too.

Don't hate me. I know that many/most have waited way, way, way longer than my story will show:

Put initial deposit down on 15 SEP 20 for a 2021 MY Z51 ... Went to 3000 on 19 NOV 20 ... Moved to 3300 (with no TPW) on 16 DEC 20 ... just moved to 3400 today! I have a TPW of 11 JAN 21 and based on my VIN, I think it will build on Friday of next week! Hope to have it in my garage by early-to-mid-February if all goes well ...

2021 Red Mist with jet black interior 2LT
Z51 coupe with mag ride and carbon flash wheels
Ordered from Rick Hendrick Chevrolet in Duluth, GA

This is Red Mist week at BGA. Mine is coming off the line on Thursday after nearly 18 months since my deposit.

My Red Mist HTC had a TPW of 1-4, but due to the reduced production line output last week, should have rolled off the line @ mid-day today!!!
