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.

I understand and appreciate the Reality Check. However, for 2014, we also are in an Alternate Reality. One nasty Reality Change is that for the first time 2/3rds of Chevy dealers did not get an allocation of even one Vette in the initial roll out, and Chevy severely curtailed the allocation for all but the largest dealers all the while shipping C7s overseas. Then, Chevy greatly underestimated the Z51 and Carbon Fiber demands resulting in Constraints such that it cannot fulfill orders for months upon months. How, then, Chevy decides which dealers get what C7s for which customers subject to parts availability appears to be more of a function of happenstance and luck than following some legal proscription and plan. I would love to know the Chevy detailed production plan and how it relates to the legal foundation Chevy’s lawyers concocted for C7 production. At this point, it appears Harpo is the production planner and Groucho is the lawyer.
