When will the car be available to the general public? (Non-Pre Order)
 

I've been wondering, when will we see it hit the dealers lots?

Also is there any advantage to pre-ordering other than getting it sooner?

For those who Pre-Order, are you paying the full amount $30K + upfront for the car or how does that work?

Sold orders are basically being built first, with all dealers at least getting 2 cars initially (1 sold order and the other a V6 inventory/lot car). Most of us here are only putting a deposit down, generally $500 - $1000, or some are putting nothing down at all. It depends on the dealer. I myself put a $1000 fully refundable deposit down and have the option of backing out even when the car is delivered to the dealer and on their lot.

Yeah, I'm really trying to be paitent but I'm in desperate need of a new car and unsure if I can hold out till March yet I don't want to end up with payments on a car I don't want, prohibitting me from owning a Camaro for another 5 years :(

just buy a cheap honda beater and sell it for more later this year if you don't want it after getting your new camaro.
