I take that EVS hasn't sold any preorders or they sold them to customers believing that it was just a marketing survey. I find this hard to believe. Why the so sudden interest now when we have been ordering under the premises that it does mean something, why did you wait till now to come on this forum and post it. To me something stinks here! Maybe I am totally wrong, but I am going to believe that Scotty has been giving us reliable information and from I have seen has led no one down a wrong path. For me this isn't about the delay in production but the V6 to V8 distributions. BTW proportionately speaking small dealers are no dif than big dealers with SS's or not, alot of sales = alot of allocations, not many sales = not many allocations. I am #6 out of 8 with only 2 SS's ordered, me being one! Explain how a bigger dealership with more allocations will get there SS's filled before my dealer get theres filled! If I am correct in my thinking All allotments should be filled approximately same time frame.
There is my 2 cents for what is worth. Prolly not worth that now with inflation and all. Doh!

Sorry for not answering. It's been a long day. Rick and I have not pre-sold any Camaros. It's our policy to not pre-sell anything. Maybe we are late to the party but I've been registered for a while and just watching. I am tired of the mis-representation going on. It has been posted earlier tonight from chevylaunch this pre-order program was no guarantee. We receive phone call after phone call from all over the country asking how the process works. The pre-order just means that GM can gauge the level of interest in the car. It backfired on them. The thought it would be 50/50 and it wasn't. Now it's up to GM to fix. If you were told that your pre-order was a guarantee, you were mislead. I never said Scotty lead anyone down a wrong path. Rick and I are straight shooters and no fluff. There is no consistancy to filing of allocations. If you are the second SS at your dealership, then you should get their second SS. Let's say in the first month your dealer gets one V6 and one V8. The second month they get two V6's, the third month they get a V6 and a V8...who knows. In 2005, Corvettes with a manual transmission were on constraint. If you ordered a stick, it took months and the guy with the automatic got his car first. It will be a month before we know how this will shake out. All I can say is, GM said "slow roll out of V8", the car will be "marketed with the award winning V6". We have been told this from day one. Again, if your dealer did not tell you, you were mislead. Big or small doesn't mean anything when it comes to dealer allocation. ZR1 is a perfect example. Small dealers got cars before big dealers. I have better odds at winning the powerball than figuring out GM's allocation process.
I don't want to upset, ruffle feathers, make enemies etc. Like my wife says, it is what it is. We were not laughing at anyone in the video. This hurts us all. Too many people were mislead with the pre-order fiasco. The video said it all...John Fitzgerald Camaro Marketing Manager said that "sold orders (pre-orders) do not determine allocation". Let's wait until this time next month and we see the first consensus. Hopefully it'll all work out.
