I wonder if this will give us more time to make changes. My father just ordered the same color and stripe combo as mine, minus the RS package. Should I change? We both did Victory red with black stripes. Now I'm thinking if I should swap for cyber gray with silver stripes, silver with black stripes, or inferno orange with black stripes.

Why has the ordering changed?

"Market Adjustments" is just a fancy term for greedy dealers...

Being 1 month off is irrelevant, it's not like it'll be 6 months to a year off. Sadly though, why pay 30k for a Camaro new when you can get a used C6 Corvette for $30k? C6 Corvette > new Camaro even if it is used. Then again if the new Camaro somehow dropped prices of used C5's and C6's I wouldn't argue. 
But that is probably just wishful thinking.

IF that is the case, or ends up being the case, then **** 'em. I REFUSE to pay more then MSRP on ANY car; i just can't justify it. If this is what ends up happening, then i will be keping my 4th Gen and modding that bitch. I mean, christ, the markup on the C6Z was $20K at my local Chey dealer when it came out, they wanted $90K for it. They also have a ZR1, good luck getting one for the MSRP of $115K. My cousin said they want damn near $135K for it with the "adjusted market value tax"...

Anyways, it is cf members vs. settlemire. I guess we will have to wait until March to see who is right.

Read the thread on camaro5 with the post from a dealer named "camaroscotty".
The delay has nothing to do with the Cadence issue.
Rumor has it the V8s will be a long time off and very limited. A few guys on corvetteforum said this back in November. I hope you all like V6s. And market adjustments for the LS3.
What I don't get is if they had 8-10K sold orders for V8s, why aren't they building V8s?
This is more "GM knows best." First the LSA was killed and now the SS is delayed.
The G8 GXP is looking better by the day.

1 month is nothing, im sure those who pre ordered them will get them within the same time frame as planned...maybe a few weeks off or so...but as stated I would rather have the car done right with less of those "first year" bugs then what it would have if it was rushed.

1 month delay is not a big deal. For those looking for answers you need to read the thread started by FbodFather.

It should calm your fears and answer most of your questions.

It doesn't answer any questions.
It doesn't say why there is a delay.
It doesn't say when the V8s will be built other than some who guess that "sometime in April or October at the latest".
All it has is GM nuthuggers stoning people for not understanding GM's apparent change in their ordering/building system.
So even though you ordered an SS you get to wait so the dealer will have a
V6 to demo apparently.
I lost interest in the car as soon as they announced no Z28. I hope it is a success, but with this latest issue, I doubt they build/sell 100k units/year.

We ARE going to provide each dealer with a new Camaro -- for many reasons: We want people to come in and sit in the car -- to drive the car -- to fall in love with the car -- and to order the car of their dreams -- and we're doing it with the V6 car because we KNOW that a large percentage of our enthusiasts want a V8 engine -- so rather than build a 'stock' V8 -- we'll build V6s for stock -- and build V8s to get you your 'sold' order as soon as we can.
