I've been lurkin here a little while and joined recently , I have also been watching the Camaro saga over the past couple years and anticipating it's arrival as you have...but maybe not to the extreme that most of you have.
I didn't order one back in Oct and as of this morning I still hadn't.
I had lot's of things going on in my life which includes two cars already that spend rainy days and winters garaged, college tuition, mortgages etc... so another car for dads pleasure really wasn't in the works... but it's my nature to fixate on things until I begin to have a growth on my skull (remember the VW commercials a few years back) that's me.
My b-inlaw who has the same obsession tendencies that I have, recently traded his 07 Vette auto ,vert for an 09 vette stick, coupe, and was talking to his dealer& parts supplier(he's authorized GM repair shop) about the Camaro and mentioned that his B-in law (me) was interested.
( I really wasn't), the guy said all of his were sold but he could get one.
I didn't order early and knew if I did now that I'd probably get it in time for the winter garaging with my Chevelles, so I was going to wait until the next round next year, but that didn't stop me from looking at all the pic's here, studying the process and ing.
OK I'll get to the point now... My B-inlaw calls me three times Tuesday AM, after the first two I knew something was up so I answered the third , he says "my guy has an early order Camaro that someone just backed out on....he left me a message and I don't know color model or anything ,you wanna know more"... my first response was no...leave me alone...then I hesitated and figured there's no way in hell... so what the hell, I told him I'm only interested in a 2SS RS IOM , stick with CGM stripes and IOM accented interior, there's no way it's gonna be that exact car so I don't have to worry about finding the $$$ ... right.... he tells me to stop by , the guy was faxing over some paperwork on the car.
I get there and guess what, 2SS RS IOM,AFM interior with theVZG LPO black stripe,UQA audio, Q9J wheels, VYX engine covers and B34 mats... it was ordered in OCT and it's mine if I want it.
I understand I can change the interior color and striping without affecting the order, I'd prefer the black rallystripes , but also prefer the factory install.
So..... should I ??

Yes

132 days is great, but at what priority # does the dealership have your order? If he has all "sold orders" at the same priority #, then they will be picked/pulled by GM according to order date, if not it will be by 1, 2, 3,......! All in all, it sounds like it is meant to be!!!

Does second ordered automatically mean priority # 2 ???

Most likely yes, but priority number is set at the dealer's discretion (somebody correct me if i'm wrong which most likely I am). They can put two or three orders at priority 1 if they wanted to. You should ask the dealer what priority number is given to "your" order.

If the dealer marks all "sold orders" as Priority #1, orders will be taken by the order date. The dealer can also give each "sold order" its own priority # (1, 2, 3, and so on), GM will pull/take each "sold order" in order (1, 2, 3, and so on). SebJr, you should check with your dealer and make sure of how he has your order prioritized, and nail him down to what your status is (in writing would be nice).

Pull the trigger for the deal. Do it now.

[Chevyrocker]

Dude, what the hell are you waiting for?!?!?

[Iwantone2]

Thanks for the clarification PonyMan, I couldn't have said it better

[3 SS's]

Well.... it's done, deposit's down.
I left the car as originally ordered
2SS RS 6 speed manual, IOM with AFM interior,VZG striping,Q9J wheels, B34 mats and VYX engine covers .
They showed me on the bottom of the workbench sheet that the car is priority one and should be pulled anytime now.

Anybody looking for a loaded, low mileage 03 Silverado :(

Shoot must be fate.
Do it and then go buy a lottery ticket.
