You'll care if you ordered a V8 and Chevy tells you your one car is a V6 next week...

Instead of taking any advice from anybody including myself or your 41 year vet why don't you go into dealerworld and look at your CONCENSUS!!! That will tell you if your really getting 6

I do care about the customers but come on if you were in my shoes would you want to give out all the sold orders before you got yours. And my lease is up in 3 months I need a car.

Hell not. I'd do the same thing in your shoes. Besides, your ability to sell more (after initial allocation) should go up dramatically with your car sitting out front all day.

Then keep your excitement to yourself..... If I were one of your customers and saw that post I'd flip.

Other than that, i'm excited for you.

I'm hoping I get mine on the first consensus...but, still waiting to hear from my dealer.

Exactly if I sell them I can not show anyone what it looks like I will drive mine everyday and there will always be one here for people to look at.

Does anyone know when they are actually going to pull the orders for the first months build so we can stop speculating?

Recieved message from my dealer today:

"Thank you again for your business, I will be able to order your Camaro LT2 next Thursday , we don't have a allocation til next week , so if you need to change anything , you have till then,"


So I hope this is good news!

Sure sounds like good news to me, Gratz

There is only one dealer on here I truly trust his word.. CamaroScotty, Why hasn't he chimed in on this yet, or did I miss it?

Thanks for the explanation on what concensus is. I was trying to figure out the answer to the question for myself.

This would explain why I did not get a call from my dealer on Friday the 6th. I am priority #2, but the dealer told me they would call me even if they only ordered the #1 car. I also realize the #2 is certainly not guaranteed. There are a lot of other factors which come into that which could move me back.

Thanks Sac-au-lait for the good information you have posted.

According to past sales???....of the Camaro???....back in 2002??? I thing sac-au-lait is trying to hand us a sac-au-s**t! Perhaps you should tell the 41 year vet to sit on his experience and spin rapidly, and start learning for yourself! Sorry, but we don't need people acting like they know what they're talking about, but in fact spreading misinformation.

I have it on good word this concensus is for March only - 2 weeks, and that a dealer with 69 allocations total got 6 cars yesterday, and some dealers got 0 cars from the concensus. Sixteen alloted cars total is most definitely not getting 6 of them in two weeks. Please cease and desist!
