I understand the reason GM allowed October sold order entry was to get a feel for what options people wanted so they could adjust component ordering somewhat in response. But they will not be able to drastically change the V6 to SS planned production split.
Oh ye of little faith... I'm sure GM is quite able and ready to make our cars in a timely manner. They know the SS is the "enthusiast" car. They say so right in their salesperson ordering guide. And I'm sure they realize it's the enthusiasts who are ordering most, if not all, of the Camaros right now.

As we have seen with a certain color which shall remain nameless, blue, and the leather option, they've done a few things some of us are not happy with. But for the most part, they've made us quite happy. I don't think they'd go and disappoint us now by not being ready for the production of our cars, especially when they've released this early ordering just for the sake of knowing what kind of orders they'd be getting.
