Is it this week or next week the STS will be off constraint? I can't remember one week just bleeds into the next for me now...

Product Updates:
21st CENTURY SPORTS CAR PRODUCTION UNDERWAY – SHIPPING TO START SOON

Last of the Camaro Early Ordering Welcome Kits to be mailed soon
The final batch of Camaro Welcome Kits will be mailed to customers in early April. If you have a customer who submitted a Camaro order under the Early Ordering Activity and did not receive or found their kit was damaged, let us know using the “contact us” feature on the Camaro channel of Chevylaunch.com. Please include customer‟s name, address, and order number when submitting an inquiry; and remember, it takes approximately 45 days to process a request. The final day to submit an inquiry will be Thursday, April 30, 2009.
Constraint Updates:
Hurst Short Throw Shifter (LPO code VYV)
Since start of production, the LPO Short Throw Shifter (code VYV) has been constrained as Chevrolet prepares to move the Hurst Shifter into the plant as a Regular Production Option.
The Hurst Shifter RPO is still a couple weeks away from introduction. In the interim, all Camaro orders with the LPO VYV were placed on “error pending” status. This status requires dealers to review and correct the order by removing the VYV option code Once the code is removed, the order will return to its normal “on hand” status and be eligible to be placed into production. Should your customer choose to wait for the Hurst Shifter, leave VYV on the order, and any orders that remain with VYV after the new "Factory Installed RPO" code is issued will have the VYV LPO code replaced with the new RPO code.
Cyber Gray Metallic Paint (RPO code GBV)
This should be the last week the Cyber Gray Metallic (RPO code: GBV) will be on constraint. Pending validation approval, Cyber Gray Metallic will be available for order submission.
High Wing Spoiler (LPO code 5V5)
The LPO / Dealer-installed accessory High Wing Spoiler (LPO code: 5V5) remains on full constraint.

Where are you getting this 3rd quarter stuff?

Rothnak · 04-07-2009, 09:41 PM

That is great news! Factory installed and coming soon!!!

Many thanks for the update!

UCI CamaroFan · 04-07-2009, 09:58 PM

Does anybody know if there is going to be that "Hurst Equipped" emblem if the shifter is installed in the factory?

No factory installed emblem, but you can easily get them on Ebay...

Rothnak · 04-07-2009, 10:02 PM

Do we know what it will look like?

tjbusa · 04-07-2009, 10:06 PM

the emblem or the shifter?

Rothnak · 04-07-2009, 10:08 PM

Oh sorry, the shifter itself overall. Compared to stock?

tjbusa · 04-07-2009, 10:33 PM

They appear to be close in heights to stock, the Hurst has white or black knobs

Rothnak · 04-07-2009, 10:38 PM

Interesting thanks. That pic is from that LS7 Camaro concept right? Do you think we'll be able to choose from white or black? I'm sure it would be easy to switch out later.

Are the throws going to be really noticeably shorter or just a little? I've always driven with stock shifter so I have nothing to gauge by.

Thanks!

tjbusa · 04-07-2009, 10:52 PM

In the 4th generation, it was a big difference, in the 5th not so much. I've seen pics of both color knobs and who knows... like you say , they are easy to switch out.

JMAN311 · 04-07-2009, 10:53 PM

It's going to use the stock leather shifter ball. the one in that pic was only black cause it was in the camaro black concept car.

blazzin1 · 04-07-2009, 10:56 PM

If you do a search of the many threads on here about the shifter, it has been confirmed several times that you will keep your stock (leather-wrapped or whatever) knob when ordering the STS. I know the pictures don't convey that, but the info came from a very reliable source from what I've been told. Of course you can always get a black or white knob after-market if you wish.
