Today the order bank at GM opened up for the Late February 2026 Corvette order cycle and dealers got the list of constraints and were told what could or could not be ordered following last week’s allocations.

Congratulations to those future owners whose allocations came in last week AND whose orders were not impacted by today’s constraints. For those ZR1 buyers waiting for the J59 brakes so you can order the ZTK Performance Package, I really don’t know what to tell you as we continue to hear that quantities are still very low and most likely all that come in are going straight to ZR1X builds.

We believe there are just two more order cycles yet for 2026 orders and I were a betting man, I think we almost have to hear that the 250 Stars & Steel Corvettes will be allocated in the next order cycle as the final orders for the 2026 model year will happen on March 26th. Exactly how GM will allocate those cars is still a mystery and no preorders can be made as the RPO USA isn’t yet available for dealers to check off.

Lastly, the system is accepting orders for the Engine Build Experience, and I believe I heard there were 10 spots available (8-Z06, 2-ZR1) this go around as well. If I hear more or less on that, I will update the quantities.
