Corvette Action Center reports that allocation numbers are based on the current manufacturing rate, which is bad news for expecting customers because production has been disrupted on many occasions. Be it supplier issues, the health crisis, or the chip shortage, plenty of things may go wrong until the 2021 model year will be phased out in favor of the 2022 Corvette.
The allocation process for the 2022 model year will being in July according to the cited publication, but not much will change in terms of customization. The Stingray will soldier on with a familiar small-block V8 and dual-clutch transaxle, albeit with three new colors for the exterior. These are Amplify Orange, Hypersonic Gray, and Caffeine, which replace Sebring Orange, Shadow Gray, and Zeus Bronze. Stingray customers will be further treated to a low-profile spoiler that General Motors teased during the NCM Bash.

Be that as it may, Rob Ferretti didn’t have too many problems with renting a mid-engined Corvette for more than a year now. Delivered in March 2020 with nine miles on the clock, the orange-painted Stingray racked up 19,974 miles (32,145 kilometers) and doesn’t show too much wear inside and out.
The biggest problem Rob had with the C8 was damaged paint on the frunk and A-pillars at 5,853 miles (9,419 kilometers), most probably from people standing on the frunk, and a hardtop that slid down the windshield.
