I am very disappointed after watching the video. It looks like those of us who oredered SS models may have a long wait. With GM guaranteeing each dealer at least two V6 models for them to sell within the first months that is going to push capacity for the SS back. If I have to wait then I have to wait. I hope Chevrolet/GM goes through the current orders and gives us a realistic (though estimated) delivery timeframe. Our dealers have our deposits interest free. At least give us the better (more accurate) information and expectation times.

You guys are reading this wrong abouth the SS. Here are the facts:
GM's total allocation is over 20K GM was expecting a 50/50 split of V-6/V-8 cars
Total SS pre-orders: 8800
V-6 pre-orders: 1200+
They are still under their SS allocation by 1200 cars.
No reason for SS owners to panic yet.

I think a lot of what we're seeing is that it finally hit people like a brick that not every car is going to be built by April. A lot of people had a totally unreal expectation of when they were going to get their car.

I got these off 5thgen.org..... a few more tidbits.
TRUE HP #'s
L99 = 400 HP
LS3 = 426
Convertible as a 2011 model
Factory may apply more stripes in near future
ALL OFFERED DISCOUNTS WILL BE AVAILABLE FROM DAY 1
Door Sill plates STANDARD on V8's, and available for V6's
SS demand not a big concern, it may or may NOT be a cause for a constraint
Brake calipers are BLACK with CHEVROLET in WHITE, and BREMBO in RED
HERITAGE GRILLE has a bowtie gold badge
1 month delay not a result of Cadence supplier issues - secondary suplliers already up to speed
Rear gears: 327 in V6, and 345 in V8's
Perelli snows recommended for 20" with factory perf tires if in a snowy area

Does this discount statement mean GM incentives, I am assuming? I guess the wait might be a good thing then. I just received a current owner incentive up to $3000 on GM cars/trucks that expires 2/2/09. I would assume the Camaro would fall into the $1000 category, assuming that they still have incentives...which I am about 99.99% sure that they will at that time, since it is end of year for '09s.

I'd love to see it but they're talking about all the pre-orders not being filled until October. That kind of indicates to me there will be no "specials" until at least that time. JMO.

I was going 2 order end of oct.( my favorite month ) but my son wanted me 2 wait. Well, i finally ordered in nov. He kept telling me it would be delayed. Take my time and decide. Give it til '09. He new about this( the car ) way before i did and with the movie i was hooked. I was so thankful for this thread. I would read and learn all about this new car. I would call my dealer and he wouldn't even know about the camaro and i would tell him about the thread and what i found. I helped him learn information he wasn't aware of. Thanx for giving me the inside scoop. Does all this mean we won't get the car we pre-ordered til summer '09 or as late as oct. '09??

It was said that all pre-orders were expected to be filled by the end of October. ** that assumes a dealer didn't accept a pre-order for more than they were allotted. You DO NOT want to be #15 of 12...

Just my opinion...Depends on where you are in your dealers allocation. Are you #1 of 20 (or whatever) or are you #18 of 20? If you're #18 of 20, you're probably waiting until October. #1 of 20, maybe July. BUT, if you're #1 of only 4, you're probably into September...
