Just make sure they have enough allocations to allow someone to jump you and you still be able to get your car.
Oh, I am waiting for Blue. I am not going to settle for some other color. I am not asking them to make every color in the rainbow, just a nice blue whether it is like Imperial Blue or Dark Blue or Royal Blue. Just some Blue. I don't want Aqua or some version of Green, just Blue.

IMO if you really like the crystal red then wait. what is a couple months. Now if you like both crystal red and another color switch the order.

In may case I like ahsen gray and silver. If my ashen gray went on contraint I would change my order and consider it divne intervention.

now I did not like IBM it is too dark for my taste if they replaced that with a blue more my taste I would change my order and wait.

Because Camaro shares a common body and paint shop with several other vehicle lines at Oshawa, we must abide by decisions that affect more than just Camaro - and thus Imperial Blue Metallic will be discontinued very shortly. Offering it for only a week or so on the ZL1 is not practical as it would require paint re-validation for ZL1-unique components such as bumper fascias. Crystal Red Tintcoat will be available to order shortly.
We will have further information as to order cut-off dates for LS, LT, and SS models in Imperial Blue Metallic very shortly.

No worries, got to see the Crystal Red in person today at the dealership. Still to much like maroon for my taste. I thought it looked a little more red in the pictures.

Black it is.

Really though Black on Black and changing the bowties to black the car will still look absolutely perfect.

I asked for Crystal Red. Nope also not available.

Dealer stated my care is scheduled to be picked up next week so I need to pick a color or risk losing my spot in line.

According to my dealer, crystal red will not be available for my car by the time it reached production.

Question now is do I give up my spot in line for a color, or accept another color.
There is too many things that don't smell just right (GT500, paint, can't see options & paint, is the 012 obsolete by 013 or another mfg etc) for me and I think IBM was the last straw for now. I'm seriously considering canceling my order, sitting back and watching for a while. I may be back, depends. Meantime I need to find a good donor car to drop my ZL1 eng in

I'm going to sleep on it another night or two before reaching a final conclusion
