Did you ask the dealer if they had an allocation for one? Rumor was circulating that they were on constraint a bit ago and that cutoff was quickly approaching to order a 2014. I would highly recommend sending a PM to
BeckyD to ask if they're on constraint or even if it's possible to still order a 2014.
My gut-feeling is that the salesman you spoke with is pulling your chain to string you along so that you didn't walk out when he said "we don't have one and we can't order one but we can help you look to see if there's one nearby." There is no shortage on the Recaro seats. There are several threads regarding the ordering process through GM but the short of it is that not just any dealership can order any car at any time. If they don't have an allocation for a camaro then taking your order and money is only going to put it in GM's queue until they are given an allocation (much longer than 6-8 weeks.)
I must've sent out maybe 15-20 emails to various dealerships within a 200 mile radius from where my family lives in KS before I got a response from a dealership that had an allocation. I placed my order on March 20th for my RRM 1SS 1LE w/ NPP, RS package, Recaros, BA stereo, and rear-vision package. It's scheduled to be produced the week of May 5th and the last word from my dealership was that they hope to have it before Memorial Day (May 25th). If the rail car queue is cleared out and it does get delivered by then, yeah that'll be about 8 weeks from order to delivery.
