Anyone know if GM would produce something like 50% of c8's as z06's since there's such a high demand?

or... is that just impossible

I got my email and I'm 26XX

I will probably ask for my $ back

I sent the extra 3K, then sent an email to the z06 address. I immediately got the response that they are busy with all the traffic. I was going to wait until next week and send an email asking for conformation of them receiving the extra funds. Maybe to the manager Dave ?

It has to go through the Federal Reserve and after they approve it, it can take seconds, minutes, hours or days in very few cases. At that time the bank or wire service sends you a confirmation that they get from the federal reserve, that they have received it. The Federal Reserve doesn't give out confirmations of when the money is sent to the receivers bank. .

Banks should never guarantee when it will get there. Nothing the banks can do, nor the dealers bank. Fraud is a big problem for customers and banks. Thus, one reason that the Federal Reserve gets involved. The majority of wires are very fast but not all. The next time you wire money, ask the question, when will they get the money? If they guarantee the time, you have the wrong bank.

Everything I heard from GM sources and the reveal video:
1) "The LT6 is a low/limited production"
2) 12 hand selected staff to assemble the LT6 engines.
3) Z06 production will be about 20% of total Corvette production once up to speed.

Hang in there... Things are always subject to change.

That's why I unsubscribed. His last three videos were suspect and pure click bait. I watched that one and it made absolutely no sense at all. I originally thought it was a prequel to the November 2nd video. He even says in the comments that he's unsure of the whole process. Like what????

Still didn't receive a reservation number so I requested a refund today. I sent it to z06 and Dan and asked for a confirmation of receipt. I got one from Dan about 10 minutes after I sent the email. Now I'll just have to see how long the refund takes. Good luck to everyone staying on the list. I'll look elsewhere and if I don't find anything I'll keep driving my SL 63 AMG. Not a z06 but no slouch. I tried to post this earlier but for some reason it didn't post.

I know some have already received their refund.

how many have received their refunds?

I’m still waiting for my refund that I requested on November 11th after receiving a high reservation number.

thanks

I requested a refund 10 days ago(with the salesman)
and also through the number response 7 days ago.

Today they acknowledged receipt of my request.
Nothing further…. was put forth.

there was a post saying an engineer was quoted as saying they will double the number if demand is there

92_383LT4

thanks. Hope we get our refunds soon. Any updates or communication from them would be great.

congrats to all that got good numbers.
I guess I’ll hold onto the 18z06 longer while waiting for a regular c8, I ordered.

have a great Thanksgiving everyone. I’m sure we all have a lot to be thankful for

It will be interesting to see how they do that with the 12 hand picked engine builders. At full capacity at 186 cars at 20 percent level the 12 will have to each build a little over 3 engines per day. Someone said they can build 1. In anyway these hand picked people are going to need more hands if they produce that many cars.

Engineers normally are pretty good at math and I am not. I must be placing the desmal point off. No more potty breaks for the engine people.

Have they apologized for this? That is ridiculous.

Also, how long am I supposed to wait after sending a business $2,000 and receiving zero acknowledgment?

Number 9

Maybe they could hand pick more engine builders?? Just sayin.

I understand they had 18 builders capable of building the LT4 or similar. Someone put a post on this thread that they were capable of building up to 8 engines per day parts allowing.

z28lt1

For the c7 zo6, each builder produced 2.5 a day. At peak, they were cranking out 45 per day, so math gets us to 18 builders (or lots of overtime).

Where did you hear number 1 and 3? That’s different than other statements we’ve heard.

I did a career in the Military and then a second career in the UAW for GM. I can tell you one thing I was astonished to the lack of quality on the lines I worked. We had a saying “ain’t going on my truck “ I witnessed guys dropping extra screws in door panels just to make noise. It was funny at the time but now I hope those same guy or their offspring don’t work on my Z06.

Keith Cornett from Corvette Blogger was on the Corvette Today podcast this week. I don't know where he got his information but he stated that one engine builder can produce a finished engine in 1 to 1 1/4 days. He's usually pretty accurate but I hope he's wrong.
