Just received this:

The Chevrolet team is excited to announce ordering and allocation details for the 2015 Corvette Z06.
To allow you to set expectations for your customers, an estimated production guide number for the 2015 Corvette Z06 coupe and convertible (Z06 allocation group) will be posted under the “ communications ” tab of GMPrograminfo.com.

The estimated production guide number is calculated based on each participating dealers’ Corvette retail sales (new and unused) over the past 12 months (August 2013 thru July 2014.) The estimated production guide number for the 2015 Corvette Z06 covers production for the entire 2015 production run (expected to end mid-year 2015) and includes both coupe and convertible models.
Please keep in mind that the estimated production guide number is based on Chevrolet’s estimated production schedule, which remains subject to change. Many factors affect the actual production quantities, including but not limited to product and part constraints, government requirements and evolving marketplace conditions. Therefore, this estimate is not a volume commitment. Chevrolet reserves the right to change the Corvette Z06 distribution plan or the timing for implementation of that plan from time to time at its sole business discretion.

Ordering and Availability
First order submission for the 2015 Z06 in the Dealer Order Submission Process will be September 18, 2014. Please be aware that only Z06 Coupe with Manual Transmission will be available to order for this first DOSP cycle. We anticipate that both the 8-Speed Automatic Transmission and Convertible models will be available in 1-2 months after this first DOSP.
Furthermore, participating dealers should be aware of any other production constraints that may impact the ability to fulfill certain order configurations, and should avoid making commitments to customers until the allocation and constraints are available to the dealer in the weekly order placement cycle. Please monitor the weekly constraint guide for latest constraint status.

Vehicle Brokering
Chevrolet wants to remind each of you of GM’s Transactional Integrity Letter dated February 15, 2013 (Global Connect Message G_0000159240). This purpose of that letter was to remind dealers of certain provisions of the GM Dealer Agreement. In the Dealer Agreement each dealer makes a commitment to (1) ethically and lawfully conduct its vehicle sales transactions, (2) submit accurate claims, applications, reports and vehicle orders to GM, and (3) not to sell vehicles for resale or through brokers or resellers. GM believes, and most dealers agree, with this pragmatic policy.

The excitement around the 2015 Corvette Z06 continues to grow, and your full participation in the sales, servicing and ordering of the Corvette Z06 will allow momentum to continue for years to come.

Bear in mind that this does not tell the dealer which month his units will be allocated. This requires the dealer to check regularly (usually every week or two).

Have to log in to www.GMPrograminfo.com.. Could someone please post the info perhaps?

Glenn Quagmire

Not sure what you mean?

This thread was informing that allocations have been posted. Your post says to see these allocations, you have to go to that website.

I went to that website and I can not see them because you need a username and password.

This thread is pretty much pointless if there is no information in it.

So, how many 2014s did your dealer sell during the named period and how many Z06's is he allocated?

Since you have the "sources", how about that same information about my local dealer, Reliable Chevrolet?

Glenn Quagmire

Call your dealer...

The reason you can't login is because you have to be a dealer. The point of the post is to let people know what GM has told their dealers. Any specific info you need, should come from your dealer. Sorry for your confusion.

JoesC5

Because you have the "sources". That's why.

Glenn Quagmire

I'm sure you're quite capable of handling your own affairs.

Just got off the phone with my dealer. He is getting 16 Z06's for this model year. Since I am number 1 on his list, it appears as though I will get mine. Good luck to all

Yeah! My dealer has 33 allocated. I'm #4 on the list for auto coupe. Hoping to get it by the 3rd week of December.

IMO, they should produce the autos first since it is the faster car and should get better reviews unless there are constraints or mechanical issues.

Glenn Quagmire

Big congrats to both of you guys! The hard part will be waiting for them to show up...and in my case, staring at it throughout the Winter

Z0Sick6

is it 10% of 2014 stingray sales?

OH THREE Z

Thanks for the info Glenn... Was wondering if you could answer this.

Your last sentence in post 1 touches on this , but for clarification does the preliminary orders that have been placed before today automatically get "picked up" once one of the dealers allocations are scheduled for production?

I am going to my dealer (#1 on their list) list tomorrow to spec my car and just was curious if it is something that requires someone to be awake at the wheel or again, since the order will be submitted does it automatically get broadcast for production once the allocation is granted

Hope my question makes sense. I've been through many ordered cars so I have a pretty good handle concerning the process... but many here have not and I know that your info has been helpful to them



Mike

PS. Gigidddidy! !

OH THREE Z

My guess is their target is 20% of production once everything is running at full bore.... but that number will be will be lower for 2015 as production is starting late.

Glenn Quagmire

Hey Mike,

So, the dealers found out today how many allocations they will get for the model year, but don't know yet when they will get them. When their allocation(s) become available for a given month, they will have to look at who they have made promises to, and what those individual build sheets look like, and lay that over the build constraints. In effect, you could have already "ordered" your car with a dealer who has 20 sold orders ahead of you, but still get your car way before anyone else.

It's a bit of a luck of the draw at the moment. The guy who isn't dead set on building his car a certain way...AND can predict the future, might just be the first one to show his off. You can game the system a bit now, if you select a manual tranny, because the autos have been delayed for at least a month.

Right now, no one seems to know what items will be constrained. So, if your dealer calls and says it's your turn, be prepared to either settle on exactly what you want and run the risk of waiting, or have an alternative game plan in your back pocket.

OH THREE Z

Thanks... i feel like I have a car picked out that shouldn't have too many constraint hurdles to overcome... but ya never know.

Comp seats, standard roof, and either aero finish are my gotta have deal breakers... i can work around the other stuff.

Thanks and good luck to you and everyone else waiting for this car... The next 3 months are going to be fun.... lots of grown men acting like 8 year olds waiting their presents before Christmas

I hope GM gets a website soon so we can go to it and "build the car". Sure I know pretty much what I want now, but I would certainly like to see it before I just blindly order.

Rumors are that the standard roof and AE4 (comp seats w/ suede inserts) could be hard to get right away. My fingers are crossed...
