Scott or Camaro Scott
With the workbench # I got for my 2SS and the letter I got from GM with Ed thanking me for ordering a car. Do I need to do anything else? Does GM know that order is placed with my specs for my car? And I will get that car some time this year? My worry is I don't know if I really have an order placed that GM knows about, I think I do since I got a letter, but who knows? Thanks Scott |

I have been thinking about upgrading from the 2LT I have pre-ordered and getting an SS. By the way it sounds, the first batch off the line are V6's for dealers so theoretically I could count of 45-60 days before ANY of the pre-orders are built, correct; more time to save up more cash?
Related, since the SS is a performance car replacement parts would be more expensive as well? Brakes, rotors, etc., normal stuff that wears out over time?

Scott, Thanks for all the "positive" info. I can only hope my white SS Camaro gets built later this year as promised. My dealer called me yesterday and advised white is still on the drawing board.

Scott - You are the man! And a very classy one at that. Thanks for the information, and please continue to have patience with those of us that "want it now" and raise a stink when someone says no.
The quality is worth the wait, and I like the HP increase. I need to do the math to see how many 1-month waits it will take to get to 500HP! Thanks Again - Long Live Camaro! |

Plus 1, I am dying to see, touch, sit in this car. I will go to car show, but I really hope it's not like last year where you couldn't touch it. But, 8 year old punks with melting hershey bars could jump from one seat, across the shifter, into the other seat of $80k corvettes.

Took me 3 months for build and delivery for my 97 silverado LTZ. It takes time to get a product perfect and built and shipped out where YOU will be over satisfied with the end product and have next to nothing to gripe over.
The delay is a kick in the pants, which is the main reason i decided not to order a new camaro during the model launch. Not because i knew about upcoming delays, but because on expeirience firsthand, i knew problems would arise along with possible delays. I did however break my rule when i ordered my new silverado, that vehicle though i just HAD to have. And after enjoying ti so much, i am up in the air about ordering a new camaro. I dont like the idea of monthly payments when the car sits over winter, and where i am , i get tons of snow. My truck with the summer 20's on it right now , i can go anywhere and everywhere with alot of cargo space. And i still have my 80Z which will eat a 5th gen all day long, it will just use more gas lol |

I wonder why Dodge and Ford don't have problems with producing their V8 Mustangs and Challengers on time?

Because the Mustangs and Challangers are built on pre-exisiting platforms.
Camaro is built on a brand new Zeta 2 platform. |

So wait a minute here. The government puts a law out there saying, "You can only sell this many cars in this area blah blah blah" but then puts up a stink when you don't sell as many cars? That doesn't make sense to me. Let's take Maine for example (snowy climate...probably not many Camaros and Corvettes around). Say a dealership is allocated 5 Camaros. 4 are V6's and 1 is an SS. What if you have 20 people looking for an SS and nobody looking for a V6? You can't give those people their cars until you find 4 people that want to buy a V6? That means that 19 people leave the dealership and go elsewhere. Why was the government dragging their feet with the bailout money? Some of it could be their fault.
