Much of what I write on here is also opinion based but i'm probably older than most of you. You won't see me writing something that's a guess without saying so, If I guess, I say i'm guessing, not saying I know it as fact.

I'm just saying the answer is usally here already if you read a couple threads and sort thru the

. It's a bit aggravating to see the same questions over and over. If you spend enough time on this site you will start to see who are the

'ers are.

Sorry if I strike a nerve with anyone but you are probably the ones this is aimed at.
SRTCLG, this is not aimed directly at you. Yours is just the post I chose for an example. Back on thread, if you can't get your deposit back blame your dealer, not GM. Over MSRP? Dealer, not GM.

May the Mods be kind to me after my rant!

Didnt mean to sound like i was giving bad info. Shoulda stressed the whole 'he's know camaro scotty' in my first post.

I also understand that dealers do the deposit thing, not GM. Ive read all 324 pricing threads

You have hurt my feelings

lol. Just kidding... But I should've prolly been clearer in my earlier posts. Please do throw me in with the

er's!!

Didn't mean to single anyone out, thought I stressed that in my post. It just bugs me to see the same questions and general statements repeated so many times. [insert beating dead horse]. I realize some of this comes from new members to the site, but there are also a lot of innaccuracies posted by long term members. Just my observation.

I have no notion of being better or smarter than anyone else.

We are all anxious and impatiant for our new cars. I cant wait to see the comments that will be posted when we start driving these cars home.

As the 3rd largest Corvette dealer in the U.S., EVS Chevrolet in Wisconsin deals with these questions every year. We have many customers who want to "pre-order" Corvettes in March or April for the next model year. This year for example we had dozens of orders placed before we knew pricing. It is just unfortunate how GM structures this. When you pre-order a car such as the Camaro in a couple of weeks, most dealers ask for a deposit to place the order. It is at the dealers descretion as to how much this would be. Once an order is accepted, which in the case of Camaro won't be until December or January, the dealer is obligated to that car. That is why we ask for deposits. With Camaro, the initial allocation is something you need to be cautious about. Early allocation is based on 70% Chevrolet sales and 30% Corvette sales. All Chevy dealers will get a few Camaros at first, but the larger allocations will go to larger Chevrolet dealers who have an emphasis on Corvette sales. Unfortunately, the small dealers will have a hard time getting cars in the first few allocation cycles. Basically, make sure the dealers you are working with sells a large volume of Chevrolet product along with Corvette sales. Hope this helps.

First -- your formula is wrong.

Second -- you should not be talking about this yet!

Your statement that Camaros will go to dealers who have emphasis on Corvette sales is incorrect.

Sorry if my information was incorrect. We were told by a top perfoming Chevy store in the midwest that allocation would be based on the 70/30 split similar to ZR1. I meant in no way to mislead.
