Despite our penchant for stressing out over the latest monthly sales numbers, production appears to be moving along at a clip reminiscent of the 2006 model year when just over 34,000 Corvettes were produced. With the preliminary sales data showing 27,872 through April 2nd, conservatively estimating production at 2,500 units per month over the next two and half months puts us over the 34,000 mark.
