I hope this is just a one time bad judgement call on GM's part and won't happen again. Money is money. And I get it, they want people drawing a crowd. But still, I work hard for my money just like they do. And my $5K is just as huge a chunk of change as anyone else's money is. I could see if they offered a limited amount of early deliveries to people for a small fee and made it available for anyone to purchase. But that wasn't the case. And if they're playing these stupid little games with these little boys who have time to sit around talking in broken sentences and trying to look cool for their fans then that is an outrage. Like I said, if this is a one off thing then fine. But it better not become a habit. They better remember, they just might push me from looking to order a Z06 to looking elsewhere. I don't play second fiddle to people.

Sorry for the rant. I got pissed off when I saw that kid bragging about getting his 2nd C8 while some of us have no updates at all and ordered before he did. Burns me up.

There were a number of pi$$ed of people on M6G when SpeedPhenom got his GT500 before a number of people who placed early orders. Accused Ford of favoring YTers over loyal customers. Turned out not to be the case. The GT500 CFTP that SpeedPhenom ordered has still not been built. He simply cycle-dialed a bunch of dealers and wound up traveling from California to Michigan to buy a dealer’s stock unit. I don’t know if this pertains to StreetSpeed’s situation or not, but I imagine that could very well be the place. When GM said all the 2020s were sold out, I’m pretty sure they meant in terms of from factory to dealer. Some dealers may have ordered multiple cars for lot stock. If StreetSpeed has a relationship with one of these dealers they probably let him know ahead of time when their car(s) would come in and gave him first shot at it.
