I bailed on VIN 3958. It was built 4/17 and nobody seems to be able to agree on where it is or when it will be delivered. So I bought a GT500 last week and took delivery monday. So today GM customer service calls me today and says "we have good news for you...your car is now in inspection". I politely told him "well thank you, but I have news for you...I got tired of waiting for my car and bought a new Shelby GT500 and cancelled my order".
My dealer has been great, but these ineffective, late and bullcrap responses from GM as to the status of this car pushed me over the edge. I was not about to lose ANOTHER summer without a hot rod based on previous promises from GM. Add to that the possibity of additional delays due the probability of bankruptcy and I really had no choice but to grab a great deal on a something that was available in the marketplace now versus some type of "vaporware". Lets just hope that all of this somehow works out for GM and us enthusiasts/customers in the future. But at this point I was nothing more than a customer looking to buy a car, and GM could not supply it or any effective date of when it would be here. My dealer had no problem selling my cancelled order to another customer who was waiting in line for it.
