What VIN# is pre production R6P and value? - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Leave it to GM to make a early production car a bad thing. Wouldnt go around bragging that we have early productions, with all the quirks.

They have no other options other than being R6P which really means "Look at me I had the first one out" which to me means "Great you got the one with the spoiler falling off, Battery cable problems, transmission problems, paint problems and so on.

Well I have a R6P 2SS/RS and I haven't had any problems w/ it. I only have 9K miles on it but so far everything has been great with the car. Comments like this really get under my skin; "Look at me I had the first one out". How about considering I loved the design and couldn't wait to order a new Gen5 Camaro? Why do you have to make it sound like an ego thing?

When I ordered the car I didn't know when I was going to get it, I didn't even know R6P existed let alone know that I was going to get one. I didn't order my car early so I could say "Look at me I had the first one out". I ordered my car early because I was excited as hell to own one, your comment is total BS to me.

R6P here. It's prestigious!

And I've never had any of the above mentioned problems!

That wasn't what my post was referring to. I was referring to when rear sensors came out.

YOu placed your order back in October/November before the car launch and you have the "Early Order" option on your sticker.

No cut off date was March 15th 2009 for early activity orders. Production started on the 17th so any order placed after that date was NOT considered early order. And just because you got early ordered didn't mean you got your car first or the vin number would be before regular production.Lots of early orders that were place Octber 15th, 2008 weren't even made and deliverd until August and late September of 2009. Thus really non early orders were made and delievered before people that ordered early. So some R6P codes appear on cars with vins in the late 20,000 series.

And as for what coolman said, boy is that a dumb comment. I've had no problems with my car at all and mine was made on April 17th, 2009 and was one of the first to hit the streets. Well 22,xxx miles later only issue I had was a blown speaker soooo don't speak about cars like the whole early orders all had problems. It was a few here that overhyped the problems they had and made it seem that alllll first cars where problemtic.

I wouldn't want a real early one. I was almost one of these guys but luckily for me my dealer messed up my order so I ended up with a later 2010 which has been problem free.

My car is a R6P Vin 18261 Delivered 7/1/09. The ONLY issue I have had was the A-pillar clips and the dealer fixed it in 5 minutes, other than that I have had no problems with mine.

Love my R6P as well, #10452, caught the spoiler issue on my own early on and it didnt ruin my paint. Thats it.

longgun · 06-16-2011, 08:23 AM

I ordered mine in April 09...picked it up from the dealer 1 June 09.

Mine is not an R6P as far as I know.
