Ordering Constraints March 12, 2009
 

Looks like a repeat of last week everyone. V6s still not released. http://www.corvetteconti.com/blog/?p=6158

THE FINAL ALLOCATION BY WEEK REPORT HAS BEEN OUT. The second month of allocation data has been released. Soon we will know again what weeks and what quantities will be released for order consideration.

TODAY, ORDERS CONTINUE BEING TAGGED AND RELEASED for production consideration
…estimate build weeks of orders released today are 4/06-4/12
CONSTRAINTS SHOWN TO US BY GM TODAY ARE:

1EE37 1LS (V6) - 0 AVAILABLE NATIONALLY
1EF37 1LT (V6) - 0 AVAILABLE NATIONALLY
1EH37 2LT (V6) - 0 AVAILABLE NATIONALLY

GBV - CYBER GREY - 0 AVAILABLE NATIONALLY
VYV HUST SHIFTER LPO - 0 AVAILABLE NATIONALLY

Starting to get a *little* bored with the V6 constraint.....

i agree. and then you wonder why they are going bankrupt

Now add the duration :)

ugh... seriously???

I wonder if they are doing this to try an get some people to pony up the extra money as been thought b4 on here for the SS....but in doing that you may also lose potential buyers of the V6 who have pre-ordered all the way back on Oct13, makes no sense. I think well start seeing them being built soon enough though......I Hope

I aint got no ponies to pony up with so they won't be getting me to buy the SS cuz of this "constraint" on V6.

I'm fine but come June 1st and no Camaro, then I'll start posts like other V6 pre-owners have been typing up the last month. I'm betting I won't have to, I'm patient. :wave:

GM has said all along the V6 will be the bread and butter of the Camaro. Figuring half the pre-orders are V6, say 6,000 and there is a $7,000 difference between a 2LT and 2SS, that is only $42 million. Lots to us, but not in the overall picture for GM. And remember, that is gross, not additional profit. I'm not happy about the contraint, nor do I understand it, but I don't think they are doing it for the money.

I just wish my dealer got the release allocation for my car.

GM really screwed up on the V6 dealer thing, they should have started building those after the preorders. Whomever made that decision should be fired.

As I think Scotty was implying, Pink, it's just for one week, seven short days.
It might be lifted next week; I'd guess the week after next.

Sux for v6 owners :(

We know the bulk of orders are for V8's, so would it REALLY be so bad for GM to show they care about their customers, work around the constraint, and produce the sold order V6's? Would it really cause so many problems?

i aint got no ponies as well...and it just gives me a little more time to get more money for the down payment
