Default Production of 2013's really early

Just found out today my 2013 60th Anniversary ZR1 will be on line Monday 30th and off line May 2nd....One advantage for me is that I am going to be at the Bash so I am now going to stay on until Wednesday.
I made plans to arrive on Tuesday but will delay my Trip to BG until Thurs 26th.......
Hope to meet some of the Forum members at the Bash...............Harvey

I have a feeling 2013 is going to be a very short production year with the 2014 coming soon after.

that's what they were hinting at the factory when I was there last week. They have a sealed off area and are working around the clock from what I was told

That's less than 2 weeks away. Does that mean 2012 production ceased already?

Can someone tell me how the final year of the C5 production went?

Were there added incentives towards the middle of production to keep sales flowing? It seems that at that point buyers would just wait for the next gen.

I'm waiting to see what the C7 will be like, but if it's not all that different I'd probably opt for a final-year C6 if the incentives were worth it.

Thanks

Heavy discounting by the dealers on MY2004 vettes in stock on their lots as I recall. Corvettes are built only if ordered. But orders can be either as sold in customers' names or ordered by dealers for stock for future retail sale.
