Default GSX Allocation

All,

Looking for some recommendations for good dealers to reach out to get on waiting list for a GSX allocation. Already been talking to MacMulkin. Any others?

My local dealers will not commit to not doing an ADM and I will not pay an ADM.

Any input appreciated, feel free to message me.

Been in the C3 world for 34 years. Going to treat myself for my 60th birthday.

If you want to get in early, you might have to pay ADM. Or buy an E-Ray at a discount.

Mike Furman at Criswell in MD sells everything at MSRP, but may have an $800 Doc Fee. He can easily sell and ship to FL.

Thanks for all the responses. Working it now. After 34 years of C3 ownership, it will be fun to have a new daily driver.

Would be interesting to see what Criswell's list is and how much they require for deposit!

Les Stanford is another option at MSRP.

I am Glad there is a GSX Discussion on this site now. I have had my 2020 C8 for 6 years, now looking forward to purchasing a GSX, and finding out more about it this this forum.

Confirmed at Les. I put a deposit down on March 30th with confirmation at MSRP. At the time was #27 but I didn't confirm if that was for all GS and GSX or just the GSX only. Hopefully for both so I can order the GSX quicker once the ordering opens up.

I'm working with Zach Grier at Les Stanford for my GSX. Great guy, always keeps me in the loop and I can't recommend him enough. Tell him the guy from Oregon sent ya.

I see all this talk of list's and ADM's on essentially an ERay version 1.1 . The ERay had/has poor sales and it will be interesting to see if a new name and a bit more power will fix the sales problem.

Those who haven't owned an E-Ray ate missing out. They have no idea how amazing if a corvette it is. And I love that. Corvettes are so run of the mill it's actually nice to have the odd ball of them. The best of all worlds.

The "GSX" to me is a very dumb name. They're trying to capitalize on the GS (which is and always has been since C6) the poser of corvette. All the looks but none of the extra power.

That's why from C8 inception the E-Ray was to replace the grand sport but as you said too many strange seniors cant wrap their head around new tech so they missed out.

The GSX is going to be a hit in small volumes and when they show the performance figures the Z06 owners are gonna cry their eyes out (because we all know 99% of them will never set foot on a road course in it and won't even get into triple digit speed as they idle through the cars and coffee lots)

GSX sales will definitely be up. E-Ray was horrible name, just look at the flop E vehicles have been. Sales would have been better all along with a less “green new deal” name and a sportier more Corvette worthy one. It’s not all in the name but in this case there’s a lot because of the prior connotation and mind set. A name tied to the mighty ZR1X can’t do anything but help!

I have been on the MacMulkin E-Ray list since last July and because production of the 2026 E-Rays was so low I am now transferred to the GSX list. Hopefully GM builds plenty of GSX's so I can have my car before the end of the year. ( same thing I was hoping for last year )

The issue for me with MacMulkin is that their list is very long and the deposit is a lot more than the others I am dealing with. Plus, they never got back to me about the GSX allocation.

They should have called it the Z-Ray with the Z being made of lightning bolts. But they wanted to "electrify" the Corvette (which they did not) as Mary's vision for the future which is now kaput. The worst marketing mistake since New Coke.

Given how the eRay stacked up, lots of truth to this with the increased power and revised gearing of the GSX. Fun times.
