How about a sprig of thyme, or a clove of garlic, or a scoop of ice cream...or...what's wrong with a grain of salt?

Yeah. who knows your place on the list doesn't say "base model V8 number 9" they may get 20 V6's hey man this is the car your on the list for!!!!
I wouldn't put my name on a list mainly because I will order exactly what I want.

Well, it's not important, imo, if they have a lot of Camaro info. What matters is that your name is at the top of a list to order it when it IS available. What difference does their lack of info make? They'll get the info, and you'll get it very shortly after. |

A place on the list at my local dealership ensures you get to order the car to your specifications. |

Then why get put on the list? Does it hold your place so your guaranteed to get one of the 100 - 150,000 Camaros?

Now if you wanted a specific color/option combo for a V6 that order will probably be simple to fill as the V6 will probably comprise 60-70% of the camaros built.

Yes it was not specifically at you but about your post. I've never heard of that before. reserving a place to order. Have they said anything about pricing? (MSRP or below) just curious. We are a pretty small area and i know the dealer fairly well I'm sure they will do their best to get me what i want. I just think it's a little crazy for the dealership to be taking money ( a few thousand dollars) down. for you to have the right to order something.

Well, I didn't get overly specific when I asked them a couple questions. But my first question was regarding price. They have stated their policy is to limit 'hot' vehicles to MSRP. No markups. I haven't made my final decision about putting the $500 down, but I can't see how it would be a bad thing. I'm not worried about the miniscule amount of interest the dealer my make off my deposit, I have plenty more in the bank making my own interest. |

Im just waiting until they come into the dealerships. Say for example the V6 model looks the same on the outside as the v8's. If i have to wait forever to get a v8 but the v6 looks the same and is prolly 250hp? why wait? ill get the v6 and have a bad ass looking car that i can always put a super charger on later. right?
Or maybe, if the v8 looks a little more sporty, they will have a "pony package" type thing that makes the v6 look just like a z28. yanno what i mean? Cuz those pony package mustangs looks a lot like a GT. I drove one and they are 210hp but they fly for a v6. Basically what im saying is that you DONT HAVE TO have a V8. But i admit my first choice would be a Z28 V8 for around 29k |

Oh and wild paw, I agree that it will probably only be limited to when stock levels are even, but even then the V8's will take longer because they are not as in demand as the V6. The V8 crowd is going to have to get in line behind the lower powered V6 people because thats what the main output is going to be. Look at it this way.. GM knows there are about 20k people that will be at the dealership on order day wanting to order a v8. But if they build just the v8's the demand for the V6 will be VERY high (over 20k) but the supply will be low due to the V8's being built. There fore the price of the v6 will go up and tank the program. GM wont build to the enthusiast, its already proven that if you do the program dies (2002 camaro anyone?).
