Congrats, I just ordered a couple days ago as well. Looks like we'll be on the same time line.

Depending on your dealer's allocation, you won't see that VIN until probably mid-May.

Congrats on your purchase.

Thanks to all for the warm welcoming! A buddy of mine purchased/ordered his Camaro from the same dealership in the Los Angeles area...and he got it in less than 4 weeks. I'm not trying to get my hopes up...but I am planning for an end of April birthday celebration....I guess we'll see. It's like being a kid waiting to go to Disneyland the night before...NO SLEEP!

I ordered a coupe in mid feb. I was driving it by the end of the first week in march.

03/09/2011 - (5000) Vehicle has been delivered to dealer.
03/07/2011 - (6000) Vehicle delivered to customer or dealer has completed customer paperwork

Took about 15 days to get a vin (at 3800 status) After that it all really depends on where you are located in relation to the Oshawa plant. Fortunately I live within trucking distance of Oshawa so my wait time was short. As mentioned before, coupes are rolling out pretty fast. I'm betting the Vert's will be moving quicker too now that the first production run is out.

Again, congrats, use the forum to keep you busy while you wait

Just to share as well since I can't sleep and I'm BORED:
I also have a 1SS (welcome to the club btw )
Great choice, I have the hurst short throw shifter and it makes a huge difference in the way the car drives. Shifts are short and crisp, virtually zero slop. I drove a 2SS with the stock shifter and I HATED the thing.

I was also pleasantly surprised at how nice the cloth interior actually is. While the plastic door inserts on the 2SS are sharp, the cloth inserts in the 1SS are very nice looking, it gives the interior a warm feeling. A friend of mine who accompanied me on a test drive of a 2SS last summer said he preferred the looks of the cloth door inserts over the plastic, although the ABL in the doors is VERY cool that's about the only thing I miss.

The BA sound system is nice. It's a little light on bass, but the clarity is stellar. Fiddle around with the sound settings and you can tune it to the type of music you like. I listen to a lot of different stuff, and I find that I do have to change the settings sometimes to get an optimal sound, though that is likely possible for any sound system. Keep in mind too that depending on what you are using i.e. (cd player/xm/aux) They each have a separate sound setting that you will have to tune.

At the end of it all though, at least for the first few hundred miles, I am willing to wager that your favorite station will be the sound of your car's engine. This car sounds beast even with the stock exhaust.

I could probably go on for hours about how much I love my 1SS, but as it is I've already given you about two paragraphs of input that you didn't even ask for

SO! Have fun waiting, and post up some pics of that beast when you get it!!! CONGRATULATIONS

Got an Update! My vehicle has been "queued for production". Everything seems to be moving right along.

@ Stone Cold Nutz: Yea, I saw a video of the Hurst shifter and it looks pretty awesome. The BA audio system was clear as hell too! And from what I heard when I was at the dealership (had a chance to play with a Camaro), it's plenty of audio for my use....and trust me, I am finding plenty of things to do on this site that will keep me entertained for the time being. I'm just happy to be part of the family now...
Thanks for the congrats...and I'll def be uploading plenty of pics upon delivery.

04/02/11: Dealership ordered
04/08/11: Queued for production.
