So, why would Chevy not build my C7 Vert with Z51 & FAY on constraint and yet build C7s with Z51 and/or FAY for unsold lot orders for other dealers? The crass answer is because it can. Chevy has its cake and can make us eat it to. Chevy has got my order that it shall eventually fulfill with no preal ressure to do so now as it knows I shall likely wait as long as it takes, and can provide essentially my car for dealer lots for newby customers who come in to a showroom and are enticed to buy by a C7 with Z51 and/or FAY. Is this too crass to think of Chevy priority building C7s for two in the bush rather than one in hand?

If Chevy did what you want, there would be lawsuits. This is not conjecture. The process you are suggesting once existed in a somewhat more rudimentary form. There were lawsuits and Chevy lost. Many regional district business center managers accepted demotions or forced early retirements as Chevy moved fulfillment to a way that could withstand law court scrutiny.
This post is based on knowing some of the families involved not on anything I have read. I figure since almost thirty years has passed talking out of school is ok, but if I am wrong I apologize for reviving bad memories.
I understand your complaint, in fact I agree with the underlying reasoning. But whether I agree or not that does not change reality.
