I really do not see it being any different than when the 2010's finally got to market. There was a huge demand for LT's and SS's. The factory could not build them fast enough, some dealers charged over MSRP some below. The same thing happened with the convertibles but to a lesser degree because there is simply not as big a demand for convertibles as coupes. Right now dealers have both sitting on their lots 2011's and 2012's. The ZL1 will most likely be the same as the others. It will be difficult to keep up with INITIAL demand and it will be a shortened build year since it is starting in Jan. instead of July. Some dealers will sell above MSRP and some will sell at MSRP but again the demand will not be as much OVERALL because of the higher price point. More people can afford a $28,000 LT than can afford a $38,000 SS than can afford a $50,000+ ZL1. And in all reality most of us that are buying a ZL1 really do not need 580HP, magnetic ride and launch control to take the kids to school or go to work. Eventually supply and demand will equal out, my guess will be the towards the end of the 2013 run and definitely the end of the 2014 model year.
