Standing back and looking at this from a distance let's try and understand where the OP is coming from. He obviously has the Stingray bug, he wants one. More than likely, since he just found us, he did what a large portion of the marketplace does, they go to their local dealer. Here's where he got sidetracked down the dead end street that sadly is the channel GM uses to distribute it's product, the dealer network.
$20 says his dealer assured him they were authorized to sell the Corvette and they could get him what he wanted. Then, after they had his order and possibly his money they deflect his queries about when his car will arrive by blaming GM. They tell him the car is very rare and because it's new they are having teething problems delivering. They may even mention constraints and again, blame GM or GM's suppliers as the reason he doesn't have a car yet. And they will continue to lead him along as long as they can knowing full well they may not be able to get his order placed until May or June simply because they don't have enough allocation. For them it's a self fulfilling prophecy since they can play on the cars exclusivity to command top dollar from their uninformed customers.
Step back and consider what your frame of mind would be if you didn't know everything you've learned by having the Internet at your fingertips. Odds are you would be a bit testy and the rollout of the C7 would seem "botched" in your mind. Hell, the dealer may have even planted that word in his mind! I know I have heard a couple local dealers utter basically the same sentiment, that GM screwed up the C7 rollout. Never mind the fact that had they committed to the product back as recently as 2012, when they were told directly by GM their 2014 allocation would be tied to 2012 sales and did what dealers like Kerbeck, MacMulkin and others did instead of refusing 2012 allocation they would be delivering 5 cars a week instead of 5 cars per quarter.
To the OP, please read through
