I see these people whining about not getting picked up by GM and they ordered in October. You realize the date you ordered it has NOTHING to do with when your dealer can submit your order? If you have 2 dealers, and they both got 10 allocation, but dealer A takes 8 orders the first week of preorders, and dealer b takes his first order in january, than the person who ordered in January from dealer b will get pulled before the person who ordered in late october from dealer a.

That's just how it is. I was under the impression that many of us knew this back in October. I called 10 different dealers when I was ready to order in January, and found the one with the lowest sold orders to allocation ratio. So even though I ordered in late January, my order was pulled by mid March.


If, however, you were first at your dealer, didn't have any constraints from the getgo (CGM, V6, Hurst, etc), then it is most likely your dealers fault.
thats a big part of why i waited to order, I then found a dealer with 10 allocations and only 2 sold. Placed my order on Jan 30th and got the #3 spot!!
