The primary problem is the timing of the announcement. Most people haven't received their formally top-of-the-line ZL1s yet and GM steals everybody's thunder by announcing a model that's 3 seconds faster around the proving grounds... That's a lot!
Shoot, I don't know of a single person who has taken delivery on the A10. That was supposed to be the top dog... it won't even be top dog on day 1. That's the issue here. I'm saying to GM please be more considerate of your current customers. Either announce the cars at the same time or wait a little while between announcements. Don't take everybody's money and before you give them the car announce a better model.

I'm with you. The timing of this announcement really stinks, especially with number of customers still waiting to take delivery of their cars.
Production of this car is for the 18 model year so why the big hurry to announce it now? I don't think I would be nearly as annoyed had it been announced between the end of the current model year and the start of production for the next MY.
Chevy needs to take a page out of the Apple playbook. Can you imagine how pissed off customers would be if Apple announced the specs for the next model iPhone smack dab in the middle of the product cycle. That's exactly what Chevy has done here. It certainly would have lessened the blow to the existing customers base had they waited to the end of the production cycle to make this announcement.
