Also, the Solstice ordering occurred when the car came on-line, not 5 months before with no advertising whatsoever as is the case now.

Actually I talked to my local dealer on monday and he said "new cars become a fad that will fade in 6 months and there will be deep discounts".
Has anyone guessed what the V8 automatic with headers, dual exhausts and fresh air intake would make in horsepower? I also wonder if the supercharger similar to the ZR1 will be put on the SS by some tuner. |

I don't mean to sound so negative to all of you, but GM has a schedule: Get visual design done in 2005. Show car in 2006. Engineer the car in 2006. test car in 2007. tweak design in 2007. work out manufacturing details in 2008. build LT/LS/SS in 2009. Offer Z28 in 2010 (). Or something fairly similar. Point is, after over 3 years of working on a tight schedule, it cant be advanced in the final months. They would have been intending on building the car in feb 2009 as far back as feb 2005. The final announcement would be made only after they knew that they could meet that deadline. Perhaps the initial plan was for fall 2008, or maybe spring 2009. We won't know for sure. But they are going to be building the car when they say. It cant be moved at this point

Heard that if they offered blue on the SS model they would have taken over 5,000 additional orders

I have to say that for a car that most people HAVEN'T SEEN in person and even FEWER people have driven, 3000 is pretty damn good for the first few days. Especially if you consider that the vast majority of the population has no idea when the car is actually going on sale.

Remember, 3000 cars is only 1.5 weeks of production if they expect 100k per year.

I seriously doubt they would be building 2,000 cars a week in the first few months. That news clip was taken from last Thursday, Friday and Saturday stats I believe. How many cars have been ordered since? Canada only started ordering yesterday. Tomorrow should be another big ordering day.
