OK - I've read this far and there is some contradictory info being posted...which is no surprise given that the consumer is way more informed than the seller now days.

Here's the coding on my order...
1EH37 Camaro 2LT coupe $26,580.00
LLT 3.6L V-6 engine standard on LT2
FE9 Federal emissions package standard on LT2
GAQ Red Jewel Tintcoat 295.00
AFF Black Leather seats standard on LT2
MX0 Automatic 6-speed
Transmission with TAPShift 995.00
WRS RS Exterior package 1,450.00
B34 Carpeted floor mats standard on LT2
UQA Boston Acoustics
Premium Sound System standard on LT2
N65 Compact Spare Tire/Wheel 150.00
B7W Cyber Gray Stripe package 395.00
Destination/Delivery charge 750.00

Estimated MSRP $30,615.00 (Note that this pricing is preliminary; but, shouldn't change much...or so my dealer thinks)

Although certain items are standard in the RS package or on the LT2, they still need to be input on the order to make sure that they get added on the assembly line. They should pop as "no charge" or "included" on the sticker.

I've got an MSRP ceiling guarantee from my dealer and had to put down a $500 deposit.

The actual Chevrolet book sent to the dealers titled "2010 Camaro Initial Ordering Workbook" has this info in it.... "The guide covers anticipated Camaro Coupe production from the start of regular production, currently scheduled for mid-February, through approximately Q3 2009." Here's the other tasty tidbit - "The production guide was developed based on two factors: (1) On your Chevrolet retail sales (both cars and trucks) over the twelve months ending August 2008; and (2) Mustang registrations for the twelve months ended June 2008 in your DMA." Every dealer has an individual production guide number for the first few months of production on the 2010 Camaro website that they access. Who knows what "first few months of production" means; but, I'll hazard a guess of the first 90-120 days. After that initial planned production run is completed, it should be open season with no allocations anywhere.

So...dealership allocations are based on dealership retail unit sales and the # of Mustangs registered in the sales region so Chevrolet can assure that there will be enough Camaros on the street to properly reclaim them as "bowtie country".

There will be enough to go around; but, you'll just have to be a bit more creative in getting one and agressive on not getting a high colonic on the pricing.

Hope this helps.
