Thanks guy's I got really lucky on this one. There was only 19 ordered at the dealer before me, and they are getting 5 a month starting in may. So I'm due in late june or july. I hope it is a rare combo.

On a side note, I haven't been following the car for about a year cause of all the drama with it. But when I saw it all come together I was so impressed. The intereior IMO is amazing, and they gave it plenty of power, and kept it affordable. Couldn't believe that.

No.....I could have payed 5,000 over sticker to get it in on the first batch, or 3,000 for the second batch. I guess the dealer is getting about 5 cars a month, and mine will be july hopefully.

a dealer in san jose,ca said that they were charging $2,000 mark up on their camaro's. they said unless they couldn't sell them later down the year, they'd sell it at the MSRP. I refused to order one. Then he offered only a $1,000 mark up. Still refused.
