Well now since everyone is finding out all their information and getting all excited, we contact our dealership to find out more about the event code or the vin if they had it yet. They say they don't have either but we are still number 1. I do a little research find out one car is being sent to my dealership an 1SS (I think #319 thanks to awesome vin list). We call and ask about it, they say they sold it to a big company that deals with NASCAR. Okay fine but still they lied right! I understand that a big company receives faster than a regular consumer but at least tell me and not bs!

So we are upset since they can't seem to find the event code or anything important (we even talked to the manager) and call customer service who looks up are info and actually has to call our dealer to get the info since they don't care sharing any info with the person who ordered it. We find out the event code is still 1100!!! I bought the first day!!! So then I go look at my welcome kit and it says "date ordered: 10/16/2008" three days after we ordered it.

So I feel like my dealership (Eldorado Cheverolet of Mckinney, Texas) is bs-ing us and not actually worring about my order at all. Should my event code still be 1100?

Please help!!!

What would you do!?!
Hmmm, I don't know. Get a job and buy my own car? Seriously, I think it has been said already but I will say it again:

BE PATIENT PEOPLE!!!!!

Very well said UCF. People, don't screw this up for us. It is really cool that we are able to pull this information. Don't go freaking out over it.

Chevy has got to have something going on with all of the cars that show they are going to Moreno Valley. Look at them...they are all automatic 2SS's. Only diff (besides colors) is some don't have the sun roof and the ones that have the sunroof also have the 20" polished wheels. I seriously doubt all of their customers orders would be like that. No RS packages, no manuals, no stripes, no other options??

Those that know otherwise, please correct me.

When Chevrolet has developed sportscars in the past, several cars are built for purposes of marketing the car. Celebrities like NASCAR drivers and even Hollywood (Leno) types get special direct allowcations that are sent to a nearby dealerships for prep and delivery. I suspect these are in essense, direct sales from GM that dont count against the dealers allocations.

The car sent to Eldorado before yours may not be thier first allocation, just a special customer delivery....Then again, they could be lying to you.

The Moreno cars must be for a marketing event....too many cars to justify to one dealer.

Hey!...maybe it's a Hollywood moive where they plan on totaling 50 cars in one action shot!!! Just kidding.

So if the dealership is on this list, would he know the car is coming to him?

I'm fairly certain that the car shows up in their system either at the same time or before it shows up here. Whether your dealer has logged into the system and checked for it is another story.

I agree about the Moreno Cars and that we all need not get too worked about it. However, it sure does make one curious as to "whats up with that" ....I'm sure it will be apparent in due time.

Allocation and production schedules "is what it is" and a couple months from now, we will no longer care what drives these decisions. It would be nice to know how the production schedule pecking order is created, but I'm sure that is a need to know basis, and full of who you know favors mixed in with a bit of lottery type of luck.

Updated spreadsheet with 426 found 2010 Camaro window stickers

I'm still checking for 1LS manuals and 2LT autos.


=====
NOTE:
=====
- Saturday morning 3/28/09 may be the last update of this spreadsheet due to the time it takes to update.
- UCF w00t has developed a more automated update process with his 2010 Camaro VIN Database web page.
- If there is something you like about my spreadsheet vs UCF w00t's web page, let us know. Perhaps UCF w00t can modify the web page more if members request a specific change.
- I will probably still continue to search for VINs to double-check UCF w00t's results


UCF w00t - I seems GM was slower to update the data this morning. I didn't find new VINs until after 6:15 am.

I've been at 3400 since the 19th and have had a tpw of 3/23 since then...but still no VIN...wtf. I guess if it gets built today its still technically ok but i have no idea how someone who orders the first possible day is barely gonna crack the first 2000 built...:(

Thanks UCF and Heinz for all the hard work, my dealer didnt' believe me when I said that the site had a VIN tracker!
