+1 this. And smaller dealers too that are already in the Corvette program with GM and have 2019 sales. Their allocations for 2020 = their volume sold in 2019.

That's not how it's working this time. You can build a C8 to order out of the gate ... This isn't like onsey-twosey allocations. Corvette production is far more custom than camaro. With 12 exterior colors, 6 interior colors and heaps of trim options, it has to be. Dealers will be FAR more willing to order you a custom car than take a gamble on buring one of their allocations having to push pre-selected options on picky customers.


First you go online and use the configurator, then at the end you get the option to pick a dealer, download the PDF and the configurator emails them your spec. Then the dealer contacts you (I got an email from Bill Buck within 12 hrs).

We are now taking deposits for ordering them so let me know if you would be interested in securing a spot for one of them. You will be able to customize it the way you want when we can place the order and the deposit is refundable. Let me know, I would be happy to help.
The PDF you get at the end of the config process looks like this. I expect the price to be in the $75k-$80k range as spec'd.
