Bob how or where did you get the info regarding A8 orders. I went to my dealership yesterday to see the 6 Z06's that had come in and was told he believed the A8's would be accepted today or next Thursday depending which was on the 2 week cycle. I have been at 1100 since Sept 9th.Hope this is finally the case. Yesterday was the first time I actually have seen a Z06/Z07 and it was magnificent. Truthfully I am glad I ordered a stage l at this time as do not intend to track it and the body works tend to distract. This may change in time, just like the crazy thing I did back in 68 and put a luggage rack on my 66 427 with no intention of ever carrying luggage,but it was a trend. Thanks.

35% of what?
Torch Red?
Yellow?
Crystal Red?
Laguna Blue?
Night Racing Blue?
Black?
Shark Gray?
etc.
How would you know that only 1 of 3 Torch Red orders with matching roof body color would be accepted?
The term 35% could cover only 1 or perhaps 2 colors.
I think these constraints need to be much more specific in nature for the consumer to understand.

BTW, GM isn't interested in making this stuff easy for consumers to understand; the info's intended audience is dealers.

My dealer, who only has 1 allocation and is mine, called me this morning and said he got his allocation and was able to order my A8 Z06 today which he originally put into the system 9/1/14

Thanks for getting that up so quick. No real surprises there. Talked to my dealer last night who told me he hopes to get 3 or 4 allocations tomorrow (Friday) and expects at least one to be a Z51 which he would assign to my order. I guess we'll see soon enough.
He says his dealership (he's an owner) has the fastest turnover of Corvettes of any in the Region. Once he gets one, it's gone! I believe him.

When dealers are given their allocations, they know exactly which allocations allow which constraint items.

Do you know if M5U 8 speed auto transmission, which is on constraint at 75%, is used in both the Stingray and the Z06. I was informed that the Z06 uses a different A8.

Seems odd that a manufacturer would hold up sales, delivery, and profit because they don't have enough painted roofs......that would not seem an onerous job, just paint more roofs? What am I missing?

They would have to have those roofs to paint. Other than the laxon roof, all roofs are carbon fiber. Paint or exposed. Supplier just hasn't been able to keep up.
