I know we have been given so much information throughout this whole process, but why all the secrecy now? Why take away our access to VIN's? It was great to see so many cars built everyday. It helped build excitement, but now we're completely blind and frustrated. Other companies (Chrysler with Challenger) had a very simple web site that told you where your car was. How hard could that have been?
For me, my car comes when it comes. I don't have a long Camaro history like some of you. For those of you that were there Oct 13 when your dealership opened, they should be doing everything possible to get you your car. You guys deserve it more than anybody.

Like you, I'm feelin' pretty unloved right now, but waiting
somewhat patiently....what else can we do?

We haven't really paid anything to GM yet.
As to the order priority - who knows what the answer is but I guarantee you it's money related. There is no logical reason for shutting off the VIN site or not updating workbench or not issuing TPW unless you're hiding something - or corporate shortsightedness.
"Enthusiast loyalty" apparently goes only so far.

Yep, you figured it out, Zombie....we're nothing special to GM.

It will be a little while before Camaro production is at that point, but at 5000 plus Camaros per month, not that long.

Challenger buyers in the same boat is little consolation, C5. But you are right, it really won't be that much longer for any of us regardless of info coming from GM or not.
