Default December Allocations

By fluke obtained a Z06 allocation today at MSRP and I did not hesitate as it got submitted today into GM Workbench.

1LZ Coupe in Silver Flare Metallic with Adrenalin Red Interior. Stripper build and I can't wait.

Congratulations. 1LZ is a fantastic car. The Z06 comes very well equipped. You can do without all the fluff. You will love the car.

I thought no allocations were expected until January? Also, allocations are released on Thursdays. Is this an order that someone backed out of and is still changeable?

Allocations were given out for December here in Canada last Thursday. All must be submitted this weekend. Yes, guy ahead of me bailed so I lucked out as I wasn't on the list at this dealership.

Other than the Red, Nice.
GM still screwed 2024 buyers for $10k more than cars that were built a few weeks ago in September , so no reason to celebrate about "paying MSRP". 2024 MSRP increase & termination of GM rewards program ( YET keeping the illegal warranty cancellation policy) especially for us who had a 2023 on order, is making many of us hate GM and their Stealers.

Absolutely agree. Congratulations! I have had my 1LZ Silver Flare since April - 2500 miles and loving it. It's not missing anything I care about. Enjoy yours CamsC8.

Yes, thanks! My buddy ordered the same spec but in black. Cannot wait after having a few C8 Stingrays

So give him praise then bash his color choices. RUDE!

Nothing illegal about what GM is doing.

Simple solution, if you don’t like it, buy something else.

Congrats to the OP, you’ll love the car.

Agreed, there was lots of people on the forum claiming no December allocations; then a few weeks later there was like 70+ December allocation with Z07 aero received just at MacMulkin alone; don't believe everything you hear on the internet

I too received a surprise allocation on 12-14-23. My dealer called me at 8:30 am and said need build specs by 4pm. I turned in my order at !0:00.

Funny how the price increases and all of a sudden ZO7 package is back in play.

Just an update guys as I went 3000 today!

My 2024 Z06 timeline so far:

04/16/2021 - Got on a Z06 list, #94 at Canada's 2nd largest dealership
11/30/2023 - Sitting at #42 on the same list
12/16/2023 - Received Canadian Corvette Forum message alert that an allocation was available immediately at another dealership and had to act fast. Called saleslady and she already had another guy on the phone (literally 3 minutes after posted message). She said she'd call back if he didn't take it and I figured he would. Turns out the dealership owner wanted the buyer to come in person to secure the deal at MSRP and this guy refused....so I pounced and drove 2hrs to the dealership.
12/16/2023 - Order submitted at 1100 matched to allocation with order number and no constraints on my order
12/18/2023 - Status 2000 Accepted by GM
12/21/2023 - Status 3000 Accepted by Production Control and tentative TPM 2/12/24

Merry Christmas to me!

Congrats CamsC8 on your allocation and your beautiful Z06. I too got lucky and got an allocation 3 weeks ago and wasn’t on a Z06 list, but was on the dealer’s ERay list. As well, I purchased my 2023 Stingray from them. Enjoy your new ride and hopefully we can hook up on one of Denis’ cruises next year. I’m located in NOTL

That's awesome!!! We are literally twins as I too was on the E-Ray list but felt the Z06 is the car to own.

Let's definitely hook up on one of those drives!

Yes, we were both probably leaning towards the ERay because it was almost impossible to get a Z06 but we both got lucky ! I actually drove a Z06 this past summer on the track at a one day Ron Fellows event at CTMP. I was absolutely sold after that!,😂All the best. Dan
