Calm down.

We can't build 100% V8 -- (no one can -- and in order to understand why you need to look at supply chains.....)

Much ado about nothing.........
If I understand what Scott is saying, not so much as can't, they won't build off balance #s just to satisfy a few. 6000 sounds like a huge number, but it's small compared to the 80-100,000 projected. Yes they want to produce all the cars us enthusiasts have ordered, but they also need to build some V6 models for the dealers lot and the general public. (The supply chain). (Marketing)

The pre orders will be built as soon as possible. But they need to mix in a healthy quantity of LS, LT's. Just because we pre ordered does not mean our cars will be the entire first run. Like everyone who ordered SS, I would love to get my SS in late Feb or early Mar. I am also prepared to wait till late Mar or April. It's like a painter on another thread, who works at the Oshowa assembly plant, said. Because of the robotics systems the can make a red car, then black, the silver then........ They can build any trim level in line with other trim levels. It just may take a bit longer to get all of our SS Camaros.

That's my two cents worth. I don't recall seeing or hearing any gaurantees by GM as to what they will build first. I will be happy to get mine when I get it, I don't have to be the first in line or first in town to draw attention. We will get the attention regardless of when we get our cars.

Some of this thread needs to be merged with: Stop Bitching!
