Default So when's the first cars getting delivered?

Anyone taking delivery by the end of the month? If so, when are you going to the track?

End of the month would be a stretch.....maybe.
No cars will be transported out of the assembly lot until late next week.
Reason being... they need to build enough of them to fill up some trucks full before it pays off to start delivering them.

But, early April, we'll start seeing them around.
...maybe even the last couple days of this month yet. We shall see!

Mine is being built this week!

Yep!

I was on the fence between Red Jewel Tintcoat and Cyber Gray Metallic.
When Cyber Gray Metallic got delayed, that was an incentive for me to change.

Made the final decision from a coin toss. Yes literally.

The red jewel is a great looking color.

Congrats! So exciting. I remember calling the dealer literally every day when my LS1 Camaro was scheduled for delivery... seems so long ago... "sniff"

So you got any parts lined up for it? Airbox/lid? Window tint? Catback?

Is the orange on the site actually how it is going to look? Or is it going to look more red?

Wrong place to ask I know...but I have to know!!!

Go look at the color at a dealership. Make sure to go on both a sunny and cloudy day as its literally TWO different colors. In the clouds its like SOM. In the sun its almost a Hugger Orange color. Its pretty different.

So it isn't that nearly practically another shade of red color people were complaining about?

No, its not really red either. Its a very different color.

Scroll over that thread to get an idea. However, you CAN NOT get a good picture of this color. Youll need to head to a dealership to get an idea of it.

I just followed an orange one through my neighborhood. it was probably a dealership car and we have a huge dealership in town. i've seen quite a few around lately... granted im in flint, mi where GM presence and company cars are heavy.
