What I do know, or at least able to research a bit...is that Corvette production is pretty much based on orders received. Another words...every years' production is based strictly on 85% to 87% dealership orders, with the other 13% to 15% of the production made for the general public and the consumption of the Corvette.

Production numbers is not a conspiracy by GM to keep numbers down while increasing prices.

Hope this helps!
Jack,

Wasn't suggesting any conspiracy theories.

It's still supply vs. demand.

If they made more, they "might" actually sell more

However, if they overbuild, and have them sitting on dealers lots at tax time...not a good thing.

Keep the supply limited to the demand + a few % and the price remains up and the overun remains low.
Reduces cost of production too
