What is UP RU-vid, welcome to Fred's Full Throttle!
This week I'm going back to my roots a bit, and we're going to cover some C8 Z06 news, and talk a bit about what this means. There've been some interesting developments in the last few days which I feel are not only worth mentioning, but stand out over the last several weeks of limited news.

While your channel is certainly not the largest, there is no other RU-vidr that I would like to see an early Zo6 allocation than Fred. I so appreciate his balanced and thoughtful insights opposed to those who simply repackage other sites…basically reading their content word for word. I always wonder why one guy in particular has so many subscribers when can just go directly to the corvette sites he references EVERYDAY. Keep up the good work Fred.

Hi Taunupe86! I really appreciate the kind words. Even if I don't get the car early (I'm not holding my breath), I am really pleased that my approach resonates for you, and many others. That's the feedback I keep getting, so I feel like I'm doing something right! :) -Fred

Fed You do a great job of keeping your content thoughtful, and informative GM should welcome any feedback that is fair and honest I call it continuous improvement, that it what separates great companies from weak companies keep up the good work, Fred

Thanks Bill, much appreciated! Agree on your point below about continuous improvement. So we're at a low point, the ball is in their court to do something about it. Here's hoping they do! Have a great weekend! -Fred

Awww...Yeah... It's Fredday Again...ha ha ha! Fred, hope you and the family are doing well! Alright, so you probably have the most well rounded and open minded approach towards any topic 🤔. This is why I most like your channel and content... because... I'm picking up what you're putting down man...ha ha ha! I was like you and most frustrated others about the Z06 and then some wise person I know said...Step back and breath! I haven't been on the Z06 builder and currently I'm just enjoying good news that comes from your channel and current what Austin from Speed Phenom is doing! Currently World Record holder for highest mileage on the Z07 and World Record for highest HP on the Dyno...ha ha ha! I'm on the list of Ciocca and Whitmoyer's and my allocation #s may get me a 3 yr car! I'm in no hurry! My 23 Stingray allocation looks to be on track with a Spring of 23 allocation, so I'm all good! I'm flying to Dallas today to enjoy some Veterans Day VetteSydicate Corvette Show with friends at Black Rifle Coffee Co. and some relaxation! Be well -Shane

Shane, my man! Always great to hear from you. Not gonna lie, I'm always sort of waiting for a comment from you, they always brighten my day and make me smile! I appreciate the kind words! I'm with you, super pumped for Austin to have his car and right away start using it as intended. He gets some flak for his presentation, but I have nothing but respect for the work/effort it took him to get where he is. I'm happy to be on the sidelines watching him, and hope to meet him someday! Two super upbeat dudes, maybe we can drag you in, can't even imagine how awesome a driving video with the 3 of us would be! :) You've got the right mindset/approach man, not sweating it, and just letting what happens happen. Since we don't have any voice in the process, stressing isn't going to fix or change anything. So might as well unplug a bit, and not worry. That's great about the Stingray though, definitely keep me posted, and I want to see pics once you have it, as well as I'd love to hear your full review! Congrats on the mini vacay, have fun! I've heard that coffee is great, though haven't tried it yet myself. I should probably order some! Safe travels my friend! -Fred

Wow Fred - wish more news outlets (on any topic and format) took as thoughtful and respectful approach to their delivery.

Hi Bill! Always nice to hear from you! Thanks for the kind words! I appreciate it. I've always thought my approach/delivery was special/different than many others, and the feedback that it resonates for many folks tells me I'm on the right track. It's slow going, but i'm only 6 subs away from 2000 at this point! Onwards and upwards! Thanks again, have a great weekend! -Fred

Fred, Bottom line for me, based on using MacMulkin's historical % share of sales of Corvettes to calculate the number of Z06's GM needs to produce, which is ~6,300 before I would get mine, I will just relax and wait. Sully
@FredsFullThrottle
@FredsFullThrottle Год назад
Agreed! I did the math about a year ago (almost exactly), and likely that could use a refresh for how many MM and Ciocca would get. Then that might give a bit of a direction to how long wait times may be. I think I'll sit on that a little bit longer so we get a few months of production and allocation under our belts to raise the accuracy a bit. As always, great to hear from you Sully! Have a nice weekend! -Fred

Fred, there is no way GM is kicking you off the list. I know that is a thought when you have legitimate concerns about a vehicle and process...that was a great breakdown of your thoughts and feelings about GM...I would go ahead and change Your name to be on the safe side. Still at 3000 status...allocations are great, getting your car built would be even better.

Hi Thereissomecoolstuff! Always nice to hear from you! I'm not concerned about anything in that regard, and have a good relationship with MM. Congrats at the 3000 status, getting close! Looking forward to seeing the final spec of your car, and pictures when the time comes! Have a nice weekend! -Fred

@@FredsFullThrottle I know your not worried Fred...your very sincere comment offering help in anyway you could was excellent. Z06 burn out is real. Content is way down. You have your cylinder deactivation system off. You are hitting on all 8. Keep them coming. You are definitely an excellent brand ambassador for gm...

Fair criticism is... fair. Supply chain is something affecting all manufacturers. High adrenaline for something great can't be maintained indefinitely and glitches and slowdowns in production gives excuses for those more critical to express themselves. I worry about governmental pressure to "think electric" that could affect future models or total production numbers. I wonder who here might want that Corvette SUV. I recommend it instead of a Z06 if you are the MM list to help my position... lol GM...if you are listening (and you should be) offer more options like stitching colors, caliper colors, paint colors...how about a set of special extra cost colors...take note of what Porsche has available.

Hi Fred... I'm not thinking that you need to apologize to anyone about what was said about Z06 Fatigue, I'm sure GM knows it, and very likely wants to get these cars out the door as well. It's not about the people of GM being less than anything but excellent and hard-working, I think this is just the world we live in, and while it's not optimal (read that as...we don't like it), there are not a lot of alternatives. This same situation is happening with many other cars, has anyone tried to buy a VW Golf R lately??
@FredsFullThrottle
@FredsFullThrottle Год назад
Thanks John, I appreciate that. I viewed it more as a clarification than an apology (I stand by what I said). But since some subscribers' comments made it sound like I might have insulted GM (which wasn't at all the case), I wanted to be really clear on what I said. What I was hoping to show is that I'm a fan of GM, and the car, but also that it was worth speaking up on it. Agreed, the world we're in now this kind of thing seems more frequent than we'd like, but unfortunately by being at the end of the pipeline we don't have any say or influence on the process. My hope was that saying something might raise visibility, but truth be told I'm sure GM is already painfully aware and nodding their heads. At the end of the day, I think I was just glad to get it off my chest and share how I feel. It was also nice to see the outpouring of folks feeling the same way. Have a great day John, nice to hear from you! -Fred

@@FredsFullThrottle I think you show that you support GM but having a Grand Sport, that's the support they really want😉. I think it was great that you said it all, I think we're all feeling it, and you brought us all together on it! As always, nicely done!

@@JohnMaffa Haha, support in the bank account is the "best" kind of support (at least for a company!) lol. Here's looking forward to when I get my chance to offer that kind of support for the Z06!

1,000% Couldn't have said it better myself. Especially if you know things are a bit hard to predict, that's the route I'd go. Estimate worst case, but if you beat it, then you look way better. Have a nice evening Hellcat 5000! -Fred
