THANK YOU Scott.
You see, everyone? Can we all relax now? GM will build your Camaro, whether it be a V6 or V8, as soon as they can perfect the car and start production.

All you heard a partial clip and then some ones "educated guess" as to what they thought it meant. Good grief there are over 10,000 orders, they said it would take them the first three quarters to build those cars, did you think that as soon as production started that EVERYONE would get their car that day? I've ordered a car before, it takes time for a normal production vehicle to be special ordered, not to mention a first run of a car. There are no such thing as an "unchangeable" everything is subject to change.

Scott!!! You have NO IDEA how much better you made me feel! Although this car has stirred more emotion in me than any other car to date, I couldnt help feeling a lil hard done by watching the vid of those two dudes sitting side by side saying that the $2000 (yes two thousand deposit) I just paid went into the dealer's bank account or GM's bank account as a group deposit to sit and accrue interest when all I got was a piece of paper to say I signed up to a marketing scam! Thats how I felt after that vid. Those guys need shooting I tell you. I feel much calmer now. should I sue for pain and suffering LOL!!

Thanks Scott.
I feel like I have been so good with avoiding the doom and gloom.... And then today I just fell into the trap. I was so wound up waiting for the car and I totally broke when I saw that 1 month wait... Then to see 2 different versions of dealers explaining things. And we all know theres 3 sides to every story, yours, theirs, and the truth. This is not to demean the evs guys or Scotty, I highly appreciate their help to the community, I think we all do. But we all based our meltdown (me included) on to their perceptions. I watched the bits of video and I don't feel I had the same impression as they did.... as well I even said somewhere in the other post that the timeframes just don't make sense. Where are all these cars that the factory will be producing going to go? They have to go somewhere.... It just doesn't make sense really.... So thank you Scott for clearing things up. As I said in the other post you can only tell us what you know and are able to, and you have not misled us, only our perceptions have. (So to reneg on my comment from before I will not be purchasing a Challenger R/T this summer.... I'm pretty sure my Camaro will be delivered by then!)

Uhm, OK, then it was addressed some today. What do I tell them, or ask them? I've already called them this week and they knew nothing. How does this relate to the 20 different responses when you call the 800 number?

I don't think it would ever happen, I pray it doesn't. But people need to know the possibilities.
