Do you think that they are pulling white orders so quickly because they want to run off a number in succession?

It is fully dependent on dealer allocation and order processing. I made the final changes to go White on the 2nd day the system was live to accept White orders. My dealer had 2 slots available the next week and I made it to 3000 right before the shutdown for model changeover. It would not surprise me if there were some programming mods to batch a run of white Camaros right after the line restart.

Otherwise, the scheduling and paint colors are totally subject to first-in, first-off scheduling as any paint can be used at any time as the bodies come down the line.

I had been led to believe that during certain time periods total production was = to the sum of each colors production percentage. I think your explanation is probably right.

Has nothing to with colors it's dealer allocations and what avis wanted.

Doing white late in the year or model run is what GM has always done in the past.

That's interesting, because initailly when I placed my ordered May 11th, I had to use silver ice met. Then on June 8th, my dealer sent me a email confirming the color change to white, GAZ. I was & still hoping to get it ASAP. I see all the other ordered car coming in left & right.......maybe soon.

Some people just don't realize when to NOT say something.

White is going to look sweet with orange stripes and the IOM interior.
