from the Camaro Ordering Guide:

SS MODEL FOCUS
Core Camaro Enthusiasts will be the target for the
SS model. These customers are very loyal to Camaro,
love the Chevy brand and the heritage associated with
Camaro. They will seek out Camaro.

you know they must have expected this kind of demand for the SS during pre-order. most of my friends don't know a thing about the new camaro and won't till it hits lots; the same could be said for a good majority of buyers (the V6 market). they need to focus on V8 production for the initial run, and after the rush ease back towards the V6.
