So where's this 180mph road course?

If you have to ask then I assure you it's nowhere you belong and nowhere you'd be welcome. Stick to what you do. Congrats on topping out at 105 MPH in your car. I'm sure that was a feat for you.

Production of the 2021 model is scheduled to begin Sept. 1, and pushing that date back to manufacture more 2020s isn't an option.
Davenport pointed out the situation isn't as dire as it might sound. Chevrolet dealerships can earn extra allocations, and enthusiasts who ordered their Corvette from bigger stores across the nation have nothing to worry about, especially if they've given the sales department their full name and their email address. The stores who won't get all of their 2020 orders fulfilled are primarily the ones charging well over MSRP, or those trying to build up an inventory of unsold Corvettes. Chevrolet is prioritizing sold orders placed by individuals.
If you're waiting for a C8 Corvette, contact the dealer you bought it from to make sure it's on its way. "It's very important that you communicate with your dealer so you get your order in," Davenport summed up. Chevrolet will roll the 2020 orders it can't fill over to the 2021 model year; Corvette Forum pointed out the same thing happened when the seventh-generation car went on sale for the 2014 model year. The Corvette is widely expected to cost more in 2021, but executives might delay the increase until the plant fills every order placed for a 2020 model.
Chevrolet remains on track to begin producing the eighth-generation Corvette in Bowling Green, Kentucky, on February 3, though Davenport learned the first car might roll off the assembly line a few days earlier.

This is what my dealership told me more or less when I put my order in. Mine might be a 2021 but it might be a 2020. I am hoping that it is a 2020 because that was the whole point of me doing this. But either way I will not be disappointed. I am going to call them later today to see if they have any updates for me.
But I'm guessing the Mustang trolls want proof that I actually have a C8 on order...
