Yes, in any situation too, when ordering any product with GM, they do built sold orders first...but if a dealer tags his stock order in the priority page before a sold, then that is his deal and as they said in the broadcast...we as dealers are in total control of orders...Greg and I fully understand what that means. I too am not going to make this a pissing contest, but others here of their own authority have been leading down the wrong path if not in circles...
You bet SS's will be built....those of you that get an early one....cool....you'll see when that time comes how many are waiting in the wings and after a period of time, things will level out and become more available...they always do...in this situtaion and for the GM crew at home watching, they know it has to be get better. I trust it will.
Others here have also let you believe for months that a dealer could place and have his order produced whenever he wanted because it was a sold order...I quote the GM spokesman earlier today..."sold orders do not determine allocation"
did not mean to stir up the pot so much today....do not intend to sugar coat anything either....for those that have gotten great feedback from their dealers today....wonderful - just let us know when you REALLY get your car and that is all is important.
Bottom line, there has to be some control and order to production so they can plan accordingly. Just like Corvette, they can’t and won’t make ALL Z06’s…their is a balance and we must learn and work with the retail mix available!

Guys,
You really need to pay careful attention to what this guy is telling you. You are really going to be pissed when the first two Camaros to your Dealer get sold either on the Internet or to the highest bidder. Your pre orders in the situation we are in do not give you priority unless you are willing to pay, and pay, and pay way over MSRP.
These first V-8 Camaros at most Dealerships will not be sold at MSRP and below, believe me when I tell you this.
