Went from 3400 to 3000

[Treadstone]

Well this makes no sense at all. Had a tpw of 7/20. Got bumped to 8/3. Now I'm not even scheduled for production anymore. So I've been at 3000 for over 50 days.

Does anyone understand this at all?

Looks like I'm the last 5/27 guy to get out of 3000. I'm gonna call my dealer today maybe they can find out what's going on.

Man I thought we were supposed to progress up through this not go backwards lol

[homerlex]

That really sux. Good luck. I hope it works out and they build your car soon!

I've given up on getting it by august. A waitimg return call from dealer

To everyone who has ordered an LS3 and has noticed your order has retracted, it's because you are on restraint this week. Expect no new movement for the next few days.

Well dealer says im still at TPW 7/20. Man this is crazy.
I'm just gonna delete this bookmark from my lappy and "fugettaboutit"

I've been sitting at 3000 since 5/27. Was at 3300 then 3400.
I'm gonna go off what he says since he can see the event history.

I'm at the stage where if it gets built great, if not more waiting. But it kills me seeing all these MN6s still built while they say others aren't being built.

guys, no disrespect to you folks who ordered a manual transmission, but this is exactly why i went with an automatic. You normally get fewer problems upfront with it and the resale value is usually higher once u decide to unload it. I know the gearheads want the excitement of a 6 speed, but right now there is no excitement in waiting on a transmission that may or may not be up to par. I am so glad i got the automatic and of course my wife does.
i used to love to drive manual but it got old waiting in traffic and wearing out your left foot holding in the clutch..

Dude, I really don't think this has to do with the MN6/LS3. There are plenty of LS3's still scheduled for production this week and the next.

You could not have foreseen the Tremec issue. And the same could be said "this is why I bought a manual, b/c the automatics are severely underproducing"

No disrespect but i would never own this type of car and buy an automatic, no offense but me personally i would not. Tremec is proven and there can be bad batches of anything in this world. I'm not ever selling mine unless i trade up for a Z/28 and then I still might not so i could care less of resale value. Have you read about all the slow ass automatics that are out there, while I'm sure they will be fixed in due time, I would never pay $1000 extra for 26 less hp.

If the camaro had a corvette automatic/paddle shift I'd probably go for it right now.

[light-my-firebyrd]

1st, there's nothing 'slow' about the automatics...
i rode in one of our member's cars a few weeks ago and it was super fast.
2nd, when it comes time to resale, automatics bring more on average, so i'm not worried about my 'slow' car when it comes.

Not sure how the Vette tranny is set-up but if it's like the M3 then yeah - I am all over computer controlled clutches in a manual transmission.
