Will they start the production line back up on Monday? - Page 3 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

No movement for me that I can see, going on a month I moved back to 3000 and stalled there.

rrubio · 03-06-2012, 10:04 AM

Yeah, I'm still at 3000 as well, guess they're still working out the kinks. It sucks that the plant is gonna shut down AGAIN later this month, for us that haven't been built, might have to wait til after that...

It is now Tuesday. Does anyone know if the factory is running again this week producing ZL1s? We all saw the memo that the DOSP has been postponed to a TBD start time, but what about production? I am not seeing new VINs every day, so I presume the plant is not building, does anyone know?

Blueclyde · 03-06-2012, 10:37 AM

I am still at 3000 as well. No movement today. Looks like we all sit tight and let GM work through whatever it is they are dealing with. No big deal. It is still on 3/6.

I have been reading this informative forum for the last six months, and finally joined today. This is my concern, my dealership finally got the ok to order my ZL1and their dosp was Thursday March 1 thru Tuesday March 6. But according to the forum dosp had been posponed during this time.

rjansen · 03-07-2012, 08:45 PM

I haven't noticed any postings of advancements in order status, or VIN numbers attributed to this week so far. Therefore, I am leaning on the assumption that the ZL1 assembly line did NOT start up on Monday, and that it has been delayed along with the DOSP, and the QC release of staged vehicles for delivery to the dealers.

Let’s hope that GM gets the bugs worked out and goes gung-ho on the production, and makes up for most of this lost time!!

I would think the VINs we have seen today were on the line before the shutdown and finished this week. I have not heard of any status changes yet this week.

Kscarguy · 03-08-2012, 12:31 AM

My ZL1 status went from 3400 on 2/22/12 to B400 on 3/6/12. All the events happened in one day. I did get a VIN, # 473. Production order QBDDDN. So I think production must have started back up...Now more waiting........

Drake Heminger · 03-08-2012, 12:38 AM

im excited to see who gets VIN 500!

2010 SS RS · 03-08-2012, 12:47 AM

Production is ramping up again after last weeks planned shutdown for maint.
As of yesterday I have personally seen 27 ZL1 order progress from 3400 to 4b00 status and have their Vin#'s assigned. Hylton spoke with a friend that works on the line and it was reported directly to him that Zl1's are being built without restrictions of any kind today Wednesday. It is unfortunate that such a wild rumor regarding production was being stopped on the Zl1 this week. I totally understand as I have seen news articles from many sites reporting the same. But it is completely wrong. Everything is ramping back up to normal levels. Next rumor involves the software being the issue for QC holds. I say BS to that one too. Everything the ZL1 is going thru is exactly what every other new model rollout goes thru. When the ducks are in a row and all the fit and finish tollerances checked and verified these cars will be released and find their way to their new homes. All is good. Everything is worth the wait. And as soon as your car is in your garage you wont even remember any of this...Larry
