I'm going to guess- does CTF mean Corvette Test Fleet?

They were priced at MSRP+$5,000. Email said these are the only cars that will be sold over MSRP.

It was posted on another site that Mike’s orders are at MSRP but the pricing for these CTF’s was set by management. The laws of supply and demand!

I have no issue with it. They sold 3 70k+ cars in less than a day with an ADM. I’d say that is the current market

3 people that were probably buried on someone’s list have a C8 in their garage tonight. I’m sure they are pleased with the transaction

Wrong. Cars with VINs that end in EX are experimental. They get crushed or take apart to study or perhaps go into a permanent collection, but they are never sold to the public.

Captured Test Fleet cars do not have EX at the end of the VIN. They have a unique 12th digit of 0 instead of 1 (Stingray production) or 6 (Z06) or other numbers for special editions. CTF cars are absolutely sold to the public. They normally are sold to dealers at auctions and are sold as used. In the current situation the last batch of C8 CTF cars are being shipped to lucky dealers as brand new cars.
