Default 2, 14, 33 = Strange Times

Those are the inventory numbers at MacMulkin. Even stranger: The 33 is the number of Z06s in their inventory and the 14 is Stingrays along with 2 E-Rays. I never thought I'd see the day when there are more Z06s on a lot than Stingrays.

It was pretty common to see during the fuel filler recall.

My take.....
Most people who wanted Z06's got them and paid the price. They now have a big depreciation and will not consider trade-in until C9's are out.
Grand Sport is the new-to-have C8. People will trade-in, trade-up, for the Grand Sport. Few will trade-down from a Z06.
E-Ray's are the experiment and not as impressive as the new Grand Sport-X with the new LS6 engine.

So 2027 and 2028 will be the year for the Grand Sport's and ZR1's. Then comes C9's for 2029's.
The C8 design has been very successful. Can't imagine what C9's bring us.

Might be a good guess.
