The “race car for the streets” have been setting monster sales numbers over the course of the year and the results from the January 2024 sale may provide buyers with some insights on pricing as we move into the new year.

GM’s order process is somewhat chaotic in our opinion as dealers still have to wait until next Thursday to find out which options may be constrained, so we’ll have that info next week.
