Yeah those were a surprise, they were really deep in the VIN range so had to have been sitting for quite a while. That would be super annoying for whoever is waiting on those cars.

This is encouraging!

Looks like 44 window stickers today. 35 Z06, 9 70th Z06s. 654 total so far for April.

My site had just over 1,000 users yesterday.. which is crazy to me, never thought that would happen. So thanks to the people out there spreading the word about it. Whenever there is a huge day like that it usually points back to someone sharing the link on social media. As usual I'm just happy that people seem to think its useful enough to pass on to other people

Really appreciate the updates you provide. They help us get an idea of where we all stand.

Are you on a waitlist anywhere for a c8 Z06 yourself?

smithers

Yep I'm one of the many people on the lists who thought they would for sure have a car by now lol

I did a factory tour Tuesday which was planned 3 months ago, as fate would have it I saw my 70th anniversary Pear White Z06 #314 on the line, it was 4 hrs away from being finished.
Placed order 9/1/22, allocated 3/30/23, built 4/25/23

Busy day today at work, so heres the update for today..

41 - Z06
11 - 70th Z06

So total of 52 for the US market cars with window stickers released today.

I ran into an issue with my site today where the account verification emails weren't getting send out. It's now resolved and these emails can be resent, more details on the website. I doubt it impacted anyone on here as anyone who wants an account probably registered it already, but you never know.

smithers

That's some crazy luck, pretty cool to get to see your car on the line though!

I’m very impressed that GM is able to consistently produce 50-60 Z06’s daily. Does this mean dealerships like MacMulkin will get more allocations? Also is GM expected to go on strike later in the late fall?

smithers

No idea... if I had to guess I'd assume that any increased production would just get spread out across all the dealers. No real reason to think they'd just go to the big dealers. But the allocation system is basically a box of mysteries.

adamsocb

Effectively I would think so. If the percentage of Z06s compared to SRs is higher due to increased production then ALL dealerships will get more Z06 allocations than earlier in the run.
The 3/23 allocations are just now being built, with the 3/30 and 4/20 cycles still to come. Once those are built I think we will see the %Z06 by dealer on C8Tracker.com true up and equal the total %Z06.
Does that mean MM and the other mega-dealers get a higher percentage of Z06s than the medium and small dealers? No, they should just get to their relative percentages which will be a lot more cars.

As for a strike, who knows. There have been reports the new UAW leadership will be very aggressive in the next contract negotiations. Strike or not will depend on many factors including how the economy is doing and who has more leverage, UAW or the Manufacturers.

smithers

Z06 production passed 800 cars for April!

Looking in my database, I’m seeing 813 for the US and Canadian market. The true number might actually be higher as I’m sure there are some Canadian cars my script missed earlier this month before I addressed its issues with those cars.

For today..

The charts really show how big this month really was compared to previous. The chart only shows US market cars.

Looking good!

Hello I have my Z06 vin # how do I go about looking that up. Thanks in advance. Jon

adamsocb

It depends on what you are looking for.
Within a few days of your car being built the window sticker will show up on Chevrolet's website. You can retrieve it by adding your VIN to the end of this URL in your internet browser:

https://cws.gm.com/vs-cws/vehshop/v2...owsticker?vin=

You can also look up the window sticker information on C8Tracker.com
If you are looking for build and shipping information you can try the Corvette Concierge phone line or chat at Chevrolet.com, but the advisors are not consistent with what information they will give you. Of course your dealer has access to all of the information and you can also get it from them.

Good Luck,
Charles

Also, if you don't know the full VIN, but just the last few digits, you can use this tool.. just tell it some basic info about the car and it will tell you the full VIN. Pretty slick.

Thank you so much smithers for making this incredible tracker. It is by far the best information available, GM should be paying you
I was wondering if it might be possible to add information on Z07 production to the graphs? I'm waiting on one at MacMulkin and it is particularly curious to me that they have only gotten 1 Z07 (GM VIP order I hear) despite >120 allocations.

Thanks!

Hey that's definitely something I'd like to do. UNfortunately until I make some changes to stuff on the back end of the site that will raise the monthly bill a decent bit, the current Z06 Dashboard page is pretty maxed out. It sends a good number of fairly complex database queries to the database, then has to do some work on the data to get it formatted for those monthly and daily charts, which is why it takes a good 10-20 seconds to load that page. So I need to do something to basically take the heat off of the database, as its the sites only real bottleneck when it gets a rush of users (like 80+ at once.. not very common).

I may be able to come up with something that'll work as a more basic solution. I've probably posted about it before somewhere, but something like an Options section that will show charts like you made in your other thread for some of the constrained options so people can see if production of that option is increasing or not. I'll play with this a bit this week and see what I can come up with. My biggest challenge with stuff like this is coming up with the right database queries.

Kind of strange data in the window sticker world today. Usually on Monday’s there aren’t any new ones released. So I stopped having my script run on mondays because it was basically pointless.

But when the script ran today, it found a bunch of window stickers with creation dates from yesterday. That’s just unusual because the stickers are released a day after the car is all built and ready to go, but that would have been over the weekend… which doesn’t really make sense.

Either way here are the combined numbers for Monday and Tuesday.

Going by the latest VIN ranges says 49 cars were built yesterday. So the window sticker data’s a bit odd today, but the factory is still cranking them out in good numbers. Works for me.
