V8's on Constraint ?

I was just notified by my dealer that I was a lucky one that my car ,I have ordered, was the last V8 he will be getting for a while.

He said that GM has placed a constraint on V8's in an attempt to move some 6 cylinders. He has several allocations left but V8's are on Hold...So he says.

"it was good timing. we got lucky and got our white for stock, zieglers sliver, sliver wheel ,orange leather going to his house in arizona and your yellow one before the v8s went on restriction last week. they want to push some 6 cyls."

Doesn't really matter to me, mine was shipped last week... but I am curious if anybody has heard the same thing or did I just miss it somewhere.

Just curious...

Boy, wouldn't that be sweet!

The SS constraint means that there are 2182 SS cars able to be built in this week's ordering cycle. These cars get spread out nationally to dealer's weekly allocation. For example, I was allocated 3 Camaros this week and can input 3 SS orders. Everyones numbers will be different and depend on sales volume and a bit of luck

Your dealer is wrong - Just clarifying this for anyone who stumbles into this thread.

From reading these forums for long enough, I'll agree with almost anything Scotty says

I think carguy has lost any credibility he may have had on this board.
