2014 Corvette Final production Numbers
GM officially revealed at last weekends Corvettes at Carlisle show that 37,288 Corvettes were built during the 2014 model year.
Those additional units, according to Corvette Product Manager Harlan Charles, include exports and captured fleet cars that were sellable units. So whats the breakdown of production during 2014 with the different colors and options? Heres some interesting stats and then well get to the numbers. First the Z51 models accounted for 56% of Corvettes ordered and Z51s with Magnetic Selective Ride Control clocked in at 36%. Corvettes sold with the 6-speed automatic accounted for 65% of all Stingrays vs 35% who still went for the 7-Speed manual. Arctic White went from being a traditional mid-level color choice all the way up to number 2, beating Black which was a perennial favorite during the C6 generation. And finally, the Q7T Black Wheels option for Z51s sold well with the option accounting for nearly half of all Z51 Corvettes (48%). The 2014 Corvette Stingrays Production Stats: 41% Z51 Coupe 15,431 1LT 9% 2LT 29% 3LT 61% 30% Base Coupe 11,134 1LT 23% 2LT 42% 3LT 35% 15% Z51 Convertible 5,680 1LT 4% 2LT 23% 3LT 73% 14% Base Convertible 5,043 1LT 13% 2LT 42% 3LT 45% Exterior colors break down as: 19% Torch Red 17% Arctic White 16% Black 11% Cyber Gray 9% Laguna Blue 8% Crystal Red Metallic 6% Velocity Yellow 6% Blade Silver 5% Night Race Blue 4% Lime Rock Green Interior Colors: 39% Jet Black Leather 21% Adrenaline Red 14% Kalahari 8% Jet Black Suede 8% Gray Leather 4% Brownstone 3% Kalahari Suede 2% Gray Suede 1% Brownstone Suede Popular Options by RPO and Percentage Built: CFA Painted Top 52% CC3 Transparent Top 26% C2Z Visible Carbon Fiber Top 13% C2Q Body-Color Dual Roof Package 6% C2M Carbon Fiber Dual Roof Package 4% FAY Carbon Fiber Instrument Panel Trim 20% UY4 Navigation 82% MYC 6-speed paddle shift with automatic 65% FE1 Suspension 43% Z51 Suspension 21% Z51 with Magnetic Ride Control 36% NPP Performance Exhaust 84% J64 Red Calipers 44% J6E Yellow Calipers 7% QX3 Chrome Non Z51 Wheels 64% QG6 Silver Non Z51 Wheels 28% RQ1 Machine Non Z51 Wheels 7% Q7T Z51 Black Wheels 48% Q7E Z51 Chrome Wheels 34% Q7S Z51 Silver Wheels 13% GM also made sure that we knew how well the Corvette Stingray is doing against its competition in the luxury sport segment: Corvette Stingray 20,804 36.6% Porsche 911 6,017 10.6% BMW 6 Series 5,717 10.1% Maserati 5,056 8.9% Mercedes SL 2,860 5.0% * US 2014 Calendar Year Deliveries January-July We understand the plants current annual operating capacity with the single shift/overtime is around 38,000 Corvettes. We figure there will be less captured fleet vehicles built in 2015 than were assembled during the launch of the 2014s and it will be interesting to see if Corvette Stingray sales can keep up the torrid pace in its sophomore year. Finally, how many Corvette Z06s can/will be assembled when production starts in fourth quarter. And for those stats, well have to wait another year.

looking at the production numbers, how can one tell how many c7's were produced exactly like the one a person has. Going through all the options I don't think works. Can someone explain how to determine the exact number equipped the same way?

Given the above data "exact" count is impossible as there are to many unkowns, however a very accurate estimate is possible. If I have some free time, i'll see if I can come up with an algorithm to approximate it.

Still impossible without key relations in the data. I'm sure chevy has all the data stored in an object-relational database, which would be super easy to query for an exact build. Would love to poke around their data

Yup... to really drill down more and more of the production metrics. Besides a more detailed production snapshot and count, it would be nice if GM would provide that data even to a contract licensee such as what the Marti report is to FMC. That would enable one to request a full history report of the car's details, options, and its # of # breakdown... simply by a VIN query.

For example only calculating model, trim, ext color and int color for my car brought the count down very low. *keep in mind my color choices were both on the low end Coupe Z51, 2LT, Laguna Blue, Grey Interior ~31.9 cars (0.41 * 0.29 * 0.09 * 0.08) * 37288 = 31.9 When I add all of my options it drops to .138 cars, giving the odds of my exact build even being chosen a single time out of 37288 cars is 13.8%. Also this is not excluding a car with the same options plus one or more extra options. so in reality unless you picked a very popular build, odds are low there's an exact match.
