They are selling them as fast and they can make them.

Awesome-up almost 200% and over 11,600 sold in one month.
Last month’s sales numbers for the Corvette say it all. Compared to 2013, the sales for new Corvettes increased a whopping 199 percent in April with 11,693 units sold. Yup, that’s nearly a 200-percent increase in the number of new ‘Vettes delivered in the U.S.
According to a Bloomberg Businessweek report, Corvette sales numbers even scored higher than the highly buzzed Mercedes-Benz S-Class.

These numbers are not adding up.
The article is misquoting Bloomberg. The sales numbers are for January through April not April alone.
Here is the original Bloomberg article.

Jan-Apr Year to date sales are 11693
April sales are 3514, as you noted.
BTW, inventory has jumped from a 7 days stock to 27 days stock, 60 days is considered ideal so while they are in shorter supply than say a Camaro they have gotten past the "every one leaving BG is sold" days.

In the last two weeks I'm shocked at the amount of c7's I've seen. I've already ran with many of them on the back streets of cape cod and the highways. I've seen probably more c7's than c6's.

That's ONE BILLION, EIGHT HUNDRED MILLION in GROSS sales.
A little more than a BLIP, I'd say.

I live in the DC metropolitan area.
I am near one of the largest Corvette dealers nationwide
Strangely enough, I have seen a grand total of ZERO C7's in my area.
Others apparently concur since after 2 months, I still get honks and beeps on the road.
