This is a scam for the ages....
Did you not read "We've seen this again and again. You bring out a new Corvette and the demand is sky-high at the beginning, and then it tapers off," said Corvette Chief Engineer Tadge Juechter. "It's not worth making that investment [of a second shift], even though for awhile we make a lot more money getting those cars out there."

I think they know what they are doing. Another thing is, a lot of people like myself in northern locations are not worried about getting their new Vett until next spring, which means late April for me, so I'm not putting my order in until February.
