I would have assumed that we'd see 700 or so VINs by now, assuming the first day totals were accurate.
What am I missing?

I don't remember where I explained it (maybe in another thread) so I'll explain it again.
We've got 179 cars that we've found. Almost all of these are US customer sold V8s. There has been a constraint on LS/LTs so dealers could not push those through but somehow a few have made it through (only 3). The highest VIN number is 683 so we can assume that there's been at least 683 cars built. In addition to those US customer v8s the plant has also been building cars for Canada and the one-per-dealer US v6s; the latter of which makes up about 50% of production alone. Once the one-per-dealer cars are assigned, I expect a massive jump in the numbers that we're seeing, filling in much of the gaps. We cannot find Canadian cars as their site has higher requirements than the US site (the correct dealer code for the car in question). The GM system seems to update nightly sometime between 1 and 5 am EDT so our data is at least a day behind actual production. I also suspect that once cars go to the 6000 level (delivered to customer) they'll disappear from the site.

He's got a 1 in 5 chance of being right
. The dealers are given a target production week and don't know what day of that week the car will be built.
