Default Constraint?

I'm not seeing anything recent here about constraint parts. Does anyone know if there are any? Used to be so for aero wing, but not sure if its gotten better...... Info appreciated.

I did see both the carbon flash painted and visible carbon fiber aero were on constraint for this cycle. They are allowing some but it is a low percentage so most dealers won’t be able to order it.

pretty much any aero/c07 package my dealer just told me. Seems crazy that the most wanted items aren’t available. What kind of stupid makes this car and doesn’t match logistics?? It’s been issue from start and will continue for a while

General *** motors. Everyone wants the high wing and they can’t come through again, good luck getting a zr1 with the high wing. All wings and carbon wheels on constraints, they only had 5 yrs to stock pile parts.

I wonder if BGA is also responsible for logistics and procurement? I would like to think there is one team responsible for all things Corvette. Of course, that would make the incompetence even worse, so I suppose parts procurement is handled out of the same central GM or Chevrolet team that does the rest of the fleet.

Most likely just in time manufacturing combined with using small vendors to provide the carbon fiber parts is much of the reason. They need to bite the bullet and stock pile some parts instead of worrying about saving every dime by getting parts delivered just as they are needed.
When I ordered my 2025 I wanted the carbon flash aero, but at least I got lucky and the dealer had an allocation for visible carbon aero. I would have ordered without it if I had to, now I really glad I didn't have to pass on it.

This! For the longest time I have wondered why constraints are the norm and not an anomaly. "You can order all sorts of options. Maybe. If we have the parts."
