I'm sure everybody is tired of these types of questions, but here goes.

Do we know the exact date that the dealers will receive their 1st allocation numbers from GM?

How long after the dealer receives the numbers do they have to submit their orders to GM?

And finally, based on previous GM launches, how general/specific COULD the allocations be? Could they be as simple as '2 cars' or 'One V6 and one V8'? Or could they be more specific like 'One 1LT and one 2SS' or 'any 2 cars, but they must be Silver' or 'any 2 cars, but must have RS package'?

Thanks
Early February concensus should have expected ship numbers for Camaro. Weekly allocations are expected to begin mid-month. Each week you receive an allocation for cars. Camaro is one allocation group and does not differentiate between V-8 or V-6. You may see constraints again certain options, from V-8 to spare tire, which preclude you from ordering that combination in that week's ordering cycle. The cycle opens on Thursday when your allocation appears. You can place orders until Saturday when they lock. On Tuesday you have one last chance to change the detail on your orders. At 9PM Tuesday they launch and are on a ballistic trajectory to production. Several weeks after ordering you should get an indication of TPW (target production week) but this can be delayed on a start up launch like Camaro. Next week the cycle repeats again starting Thursday.
