GM's Playing Allocation Games With the 2026 ZR1X Again
General Motors has quietly distributed another round of 2026 Corvette ZR1X allocations to select dealers, keeping even the order submission process under wraps. The secrecy theater around C8 allocation—combined with the ZR1X's supercharged 5.5L dual-overhead-cam engine and mid-engine platform—suggests GM is managing scarcity as a feature, not a constraint.
Nothing says 'affordable performance' like gatekeeping the buying process. GM learned the allocation hustle from the Ford GT playbook, except this time they're doing it to a car that's supposed to be about accessible horsepower.
