I’m pretty confident my car was built during the very first week of production. Only ZL1s with the 6 spd manual transmission were built during the initial production run. The A10s and convertibles started production in February of 2017.

Chevy unveiled the 2018 ZL1 1LE in February of 2017 during Speed Week at Daytona.

As you can imagine, folks who had ZL1 orders waiting on production when none too happy that Chevy introduced a new package less than five months into production of the 6th gen ZL1.

What I was trying to get across was that this was an odd production run. It's somewhat analogous to the bridge between the 1st and 2nd Gen that impacted production due to a strike. I stand corrected for October 20, I am 11 days off, It's still late October. Isn't Oct 20, 2017 to May 2018 a shorter production run? Doesn't new year production usually start in July or August? That was approximately 7 months of production.
