April Production #'s for Camaro

[Wingnut]

Man, you guys sure rush to kill any good news. The daily production orders are fantastic. They ARE producing the pre-orders along with the dealer show-room cars. Many pre-orders are getting their cars, our production codes are moving along and all the pre-order cars will be built by ealry this summer. In order to keep the production line moving when contraints come up, they're building other cars.......that's reasonable and expected. Calm down, you've waited this long and we are all weeks away from getting this awesome car.

You can buy cars off lots because of idiots who pre-ordered and have cancelled because they could wait and there are those unfortunate few that have lost jobs since their pre-order. People cancelling orders doesn't speed up the process for the rest of us, it simply gives the dealer a car to sell. Not GM's fault.

if that's true, and only 600 and change were from the pre-order pile............i'm speechless!

almost makes you wanna cancel your order............

Did you NOT see all the SS's that have been delivered??? Dealer cars are NOT SS's. My dealer has teh 1st allocation showing up this weekend, the 2nd next week and mine is on the line now. You all knew the dealers were getting a car to show off. Relax.....

Wrong, many of us have been at 3000 or 3300 for weeks. Our TPW has passed weeks ago.

Early summer? I doubt that , pre order allotments were through third quarter. If those orders are spread out, I suspect that means there will still be preorders not built yet in September. Many of those orders will be canceled when buyers are finally able to buy the car they want off the lot rather than wait on their order.

HA! a handful from 8k members...certainly 50% of us have cars on order.

I'm 'optimistic' that next week we'll see the floodgates open as GM is going for a 'big bang'...

SO.........since we were all told that the pre-order cars would be made between now and the 4th quarter, why the rage 6 weeks after production started?
Cars that show up on lots that you can buy before you get the pre-order are simply cancelled orders.
If you read any other threads, totally believing production codes would be naive.

I'm not talking about actual member deliveries......it's the pics of cars being shipped. The percentage of people on this site makes up such a small number of the people that pre-ordered. I've already seen a sold Camaro on the streets of San Antonio and it's nowhere on any of the info in this site.

I would think 50% would be kind of high. Probably a lot more enthusiasts on the site like myself than people who have actually pre-ordered.

I'm holding out for a vert in 18 months or so, hopefully.

not to fixate on this (oh hell why not fixate) but I was NOT told that my car I ordered in January might not get delivered for 9 months (fourth quarter). I was told April. Then I was told May. Then I was told "certainly by early summer." Then I read on this forum about the fourth quarter stuff.

In my dealer's defense ... had he told me i could pre-order but would actually be behind dealer cars I would definitely have said why bother and waited to see them show up on lots where I could sit in one ... drive one etc.

All that having been said ... I'm still excited and glad I ordered.

I really, really want the car by Memorial Day ... been at 3300 for a week ....

[Wingnut]

DKB.....I here ya. I order in December and I have been at 3300 for right at two weeks. That doesn't mean the actual code isn't higher, just that GM isn't real fast about updating. My TPW was this week, but I haven't heard a word. Doesn't mean it's not built and waiting to go, but who knows. I hope to take delivery just before Memorial day too. There coming, we only have a matter of days and weeks to wait now....not YEARS!!!!
