At least that is how I understand it.

Hylton? that's right isn't it?

Mine has been there 3 weeks. I don't necessarily call that a "short delay".

Not necessarily. The M6 cars will still be produced, so they'll still take up spaces in line.

With the SS you get 2 options :

Slow Car (a6)

or

No Car (m6)

Ah, isn't that the truth of the matter....Doesn't is suck to have ordered a white-hot vehicle?

Big breaths.

You may get delivery before a M6 owner, if you get produced the same week

I would venture to say this site is frequented by avid car fans. Your average buyer doesn't take the time to do this much research. They won't consider these "minor" issues. It will not take that many of these incidents to change public opinion, which is already negative towards GM. I just don't see that GM gets it.

I agree. Most Chevy fans and GM fans won't go anywhere. GM needs to convince foreign car buyers to take a look. GM needs to build a product the public believes in. If they can't do that they won't survive.

I haven't got the energy to read 280 posts, and I searched the thread to no avail. Are there any details on what kind of "performance" issue is at stake?

[bwindham]

I was really excited about getting my car, but if there is a problem, I would rather it get fixed before I take delivery.

The Sales Mgr where I ordered our Camaro said that the M6's orders are on hold, thus putting my A6 order past them while GM sorts things out as the dealerships gets new allocations... any reason to think this isn't the case?? Here's what I was told "There are 22 pre-orders, you're currently #16 but there are 9 2SS M6 orders above you, so as soon as 5 A6/M6 LT's go into production, you're next." Could be two weeks... Then I have to wait however long from then... :(

Don't comments like the one from lmorrow4 piss you off.

Let me point out the GM powertrain warranty 5 years / 100,000 Miles - Better than most of the competitors.

Extended warranties available

Theyre NOT on hold. They are still producing manual transmission SS Camaros. Look at spastic squirrel if you don't believe me. Or the fact that my car is currently on the production line and i ordered a manual SS. Your order will not be sped up, SORRY!
