UPDATE: Rick Conti posts a follow up to his blog post (last night) about ZR1 Production Halt.

UPDATE: Whether production of the ZR1 model has been
"cancelled", postponed, delayed, shelved (for a month, the rest of the
model year, or forever) it is what it is (and GM decides it to be) and
we'll all find out (hopefully) now that this discussion is out in the
open.

Did we put this on the front page solely because of Rick Conti's blog
post? No we did not. Yes, I did make a key phone call, who said the
bullet points I gave sounded right based on what he's heard. I can't
imagine what reason there would be for misleading me on this.

Just because we don't like what we are hearing, or seeing, doesn't mean
it isn't accurate (or 85% accurate) in the end. I personally don't care
what the future of this model is (because I can't afford it) but we put
it to your attention on the front page for those that do care or have
an order placed.

Back to the original post...


FACTS

1. ZR1 production will be halted, despite orders to fill.
2. No known production issues that warrant a production stop.
3. ZR1 orders in the system that had build weeks just a few days ago are now showing nothing.
4. There is no official word from GM yet. Key word, 'official'. But, there is 'word' and we are hearing it.
5. GM "needs cash" (article)

INFO COMING IN

1. Rumors of production stop started last week.
2. The ZR1 model itself may be on the chopping block, or has already been cancelled.
3. Major changes coming for Corvette production.
4. May just be cancelled for remainder of 2009 to boost Z06 sales, which are more profitable.

Stay tuned for more info, but also check RICK CONTI'S BLOG as we are waiting on official word from GM.

ZR1 Halt Article Follow-up




WHOOOA, NOT CANCELLED, CAREFUL GUYS… Wow,
what in the hell did I wake up to today. Emails and phone calls off the
hook, several different websites already taking what we said and
running in the wrong direction…running right into a wall in fact.
Please allow me to make a couple comments regardings posts across the
web from our ZR1 ON HALT ARTICLE last night.
As you may know, we are a big sponsor of Digitalcorvettes.com and they linked my story and this morning I am dealing with damage control..so let’s continue

This is like having a bunch of 4th graders sitting in a circle and
little Johnny says something to the person on the left and Sally is
told to pass it on…by the time it reaches back to Johnny on his right,
the original message is not even close to what he said. So today, I am
not CorvetteConti, I am little Johnny. The info we got last night,
again that has been brewing for a while was “ZR1 production is on hold indefinitely”. For the people saying out there that ZR1 is cancelled is not fair to say at this point at all.
Sure, many websites are quoting GM officials that were called in the
middle of the night because of our article and they said “NOT TRUE”,
but they were addressing the rumor that ZR1 was cancelled and again,
that is not what we said. Now, will they resume production with what
pieces parts they have? We hope so….but none of our contacts could tell
us what the future of ZR1 is; and we were only asking about the next 6
months. This would be a typical positive response from GM….our concern
is the HUGE delay and on hold until further notice.
Some folks have even went on to post that GM is doubling ZR1 production
to catch up next week because of the long delay already( and we respect
the individual that posted that remark) …OK, how are they going to do
that when the Plant realignment will only be putting out 50-60 total
cars a day , NOT 150 as it has in the past.

To the other guy that made a comment that I was posting this just to
get more money for our ZR1’s….give me a break, nobody is more
passionate about this car than me, I have been involved in promoting
this car for years and years, only to find out we would not be able to
obtain what we needed for our interested customers…no Corvette dealers
did. To to make that comment without knowing what you’re talking about
sir…kiss my ass comes to mind and I apologize for my outburst, this
market is near and dear to me and I would NOT mislead or play around
with you folks like that. For nearly 14 years you have come to trust us
and I could never jeopardize that with just some article to get a rise
out of people. My web presence and now along with Greg’s is to promote
the market as it is, offer you solid info, fun enthusiastic idea’s,
great values and be a part of your Corvette lifestyle all we can, any
way we can.
Greg said it to me this morning; we just want GM to make good
decisions to assure a future for Corvette. We care about you as a
customer and this car as an enthusiast. I mean look at my buddy Greg,
how weird is this, that he wore this shirt yesterday, as you see, he
was at the reveal for the NCM on ZR1, I was at the press days, you bet
we care….

After yesterday’s news, NOW look at my buddy….

Because of all this internet chatter GM very well may alter their
initial decision, but we sat on this story for a week before confirming
yesterday with a trusted authority and would never steer you folks
wrong. We may not even get a ZR1 now..you saw the picture at the
beginning of this article, it is no joke and we only hope to report
better news in the coming days and as I have said to many of you
leading up to ZR1, because of the limited supply, the controlled
production, marketing and distribution, we at EVS are worrying about
the masses of cars we can control and provide for you in a great
supply, even with the plant cut back; Coupe, Convertible and Z06.
Thank-you again for your responses, emails and continued support…count
on more soon, I’m sure!

• La page officielle de la Corvette ZR1 n'existe plus sur le site internet de GM: www.Chevrolet.com/CorvetteZR1 et cela depuis plusieures jours maintenant (pour sure, je verifie chaque jour maintenant). GM est au courant puisque certains ont fait la remarque lorsque les employes GM refutent la these de la suspension de production.
  
• Certains revendeurs qui avaient une date de fabrication de la Corvette ZR1 pour leur clients, n'en ont plus a present.
