2014 ZL 1 production
I placed an order for a 2014 ZL 1 back in January and was told that production would resume this week (March 17). On "Track your Order" site, my vehicle is still listed as "Queued for Production". Does anyone know if ZL 1 production has resumed? I am a bit anxious to get driving!

2014 Zl1 Ordering
 Yes it has resumed but your dealer needs an allocation before your order will move? Did you ask them if they have an allocation.

I think if he is in the queue his dealer had allocation.
Suggest you take your order number and go to this thread: http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=31115 Becky will get your your status and if a TPW (target production week) has been assigned. For reference I ordered my ZL1 the day the order book reopened (2/11/14) and my TPW was 3/17 (this week) I'd bet that they are building yours this week as well as your order was entered sooner. If you are one of the 3/17 cars, we have a thread going here: http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=347677 Good luck! |

Thanks! I placed my order the week of 2/11/14 also and my TWP is 3/17. I hope the car is being built this week!

Oh man, this is such a fun part of the process. I remember in 2012, when I got the tracking stuff for my 13 in the factory, all the steps and even when it was on a train headed my way...Fun stuff checking to see if it updated each day! Enjoy!

So let's say I place my order the end of April, or beginning of May. When can I expect to get my car?

^Granted that the dealer has an allocation, it should take 6-8 weeks. My order was delivered on the 7th week....right on the dime. It made the dealer look good!

Dealer had an allocation and I was quoted same time frame and was at dealership between 7 and 8 weeks. Have to say it was fall of the year and weather and other factors can come into play. |

Once you have the order number, you can begin to track the order. I don't recall the exact codes off the top of my head, but I believe that the order code will start out around 1000, then move to 1100 once the order has been accepted by GM, etc, etc. If your order remains at an early code for a long time, it's an indication that the order has been entered at the dealer, but the dealer hasn't used an allocation against the order yet. Go to the 'ordering' forum on here, and you can look up all the codes to expect at each stage of the order/production/delivery process. |

The other point that I was trying to make is that you must hold the dealer to the promised date that they'll give you once they accept the deal. If the car doesn't come in the promised time then that will be grounds for an immediate refund of deposit (don't fall for the non-refundable deposit bs......I could actually start another thread on deposit escapades with some dealers). The wise thing to do is to ask the dealer about their allocation. In my situation the dealer had a zl1 in their inventory and were also known for selling zls, so I felt secure at the time I ordered.

Very nicely done. Congrads. When I was tracking my car I made copies of ever time it changed as it went along. Nice to have in the long run. When it's done you might want to get the Vehicle Option Info Sheet also. Stuff like that is great to have as documentation when you go to sell it some day.
