And why hasn't fbodfather been on here calming us down every other day anymore? Does GM not care anymore?

There dosen't seem to be any problems with the SS

That the SS will be constrained perhaps and will have limited avail's?

7000 plus views in 3 hours. Impressive. I sure hope we don't have to wait until 2010 to receive a car we ordered in 2008.

Hang on a bit,

Just because some one can't do what you want them to do doesn't mean they don't care.

Lets not start reading minds. Let Scott or GM speak for itself.

Would you walk into the middle of a firing range when the shooting broke out, or would you wait until the bullets are all gone?

I would not lay blame on fbodfather. He is not the controller of the project and he has stated that many times. He only knows what he is involved in, and he also is not going to risk his job by telling the world (internet) things he shouldnt be. And for all we know plans have changed since his replies as well, then maybe they changed back. I noticed he responds less lately, probably due to time constraints, but also I don't blame him. He is probably torn between what he can and can't tell and is erring on the side of caution and his job. I don't think he would intentionally try to mislead us, I think the decsion comes from over his head and there is nothing he can do about it. Also he may have assumed that the plant could get cranking at full speed fast enough that the approximately 8k+ V8 cars ordered could get run out in a reasonable timeframe.

Yes, that is correct.

As Scotty said; they're standard on SS models, and optional on V6 models (probably 1LT/2LT-only). Unless Scotty tells you, you'll have to ask your dealer what the option code is.

My dealer ordered 3 2SS/RS and 1 LT, so I guess that is a good thing....

I wonder if this pushes the coveted '2nd' letter behind a months as well

THANKS for the info Scotty....

But at least you aleady have your IOM 2SS/RS w/Rally Stripes!

Or, this has come up without his blessing?? I think I will wait to hear from him just exactly what all this means. He has been the voice of reason on here and does not pull any punches. If we are going to have to wait on our SS, I am confident he will explain why.

and that you shall!

josh1147 · 01-09-2009, 04:34 PM

I'm sure there are a few of us around here with some spare kevlar that we can loan Scott, Cheryl, and others. I look forward to hearing directly from them regarding the announcements today, clarification they can provide, etc....
