I know these figures are not accurate, but it gives you a ballpark figure. I believe it was previously posted that the current run of sold cars plus the one mandatory V6 car per dealer will be in the 14,000 range and they will not be done with that run until september. To meet that figure they would have to product 500 per week. Look at how much fun you can have with numbers!
Its a safer bet to say that most of us will spend half of the summer without our new toy until they ramp up production rates and add a second shift. Yea..I know...just more idle speculation on the fire. But we're getting bored.

Actually there was over 6,000 dealers at last count. But yea I agree. With the dealers V6 showroom cars being built 1st, any constraint placed on CGM because of the Impala's will be lifted well before the 1st preorder ever touches the production line.
