I feel your pain!!! I ordered a 45th SS vert. I was told by the dealer I would be driving it Labor Day weekend. Car was built 8/23/11 delivered to my dealer on 10/06/11. You will forget all that wait time when you drive out of the dealer. Good luck!!

Good to know. Hopefully that time comes soon.

I got off the phone with my dealer an hour ago. He says the car should arrive in a few days but he's not sure. He's had no luck contacting the rail company.

I am 13 days away from being 16 weeks on my order. Ordered November 26th, still waiting.....

My order was like a yo-yo. Order was received by GM on 2/14 and originally told it would be late April for a delivery. When my wife got the order number the owner said he had talked to his rep and the TPW was bumped to 3/11. I checked with Bechy shortly after that and it had then slid to TPW 3/18. When my wife was back in visiting the dealership owner he advised her that the car was thru production on Monday 3/11 and due to be shipped. A couple days later the status went to the car being Bayed...... So for the moment I think a lot of us are in the same boat. A few semed to have squeeked out but the rest are parked. Who really knows what GM is doing anyway.

All I know is that the weather is crap up home and the plant in Canada isn't that far north of us and know it crap & cold there too. I'm in no hurry though because if the car delivers now it'll just set in the show room until the weather clears then it's just a quick 2 mile drive to the house & garage to set some more.........

I'd cancel and get the '14 since they are taking forever. Blessing in disguise?

I read the '14 Camaro will be introduced at the NY Auto Show which starts in 12 days. I wonder how much time would go by between announcement and production.

Now that I'm not sure? I did however see someone post that they are stopping orders for MY13 next week as well? I don't know any truth to that though.

I hate to be spending the same amount of money on a car that will soon be outdated. I'll have to look further into it. Pushing my waiting time into the 8 month category would not be a pleasant experience.

All cars are "outdated" in the same amount of time every year.

I understand. It'll be worth the wait either way. MY14 I'm sure won't disappoint. You may have to wait until fall for them though, assuming you did wait and ordered once released.

The last I heard, the 14 schedule was back to "normal". In other words cars start shipping in August. Last year (ie: 2013 MY) was an exception.

david.inga · 03-21-2013, 12:30 PM

Well guys! I finally picked up my Camaro! She's beautiful!

I love the Mojave interior! And that quad exhaust sounds amazing!
