I'd find something pretty close anywhere in the country and just get it shipped...

The ideal color would be Riverside Blue Metallic. I'm also partial to Satin Steel Metallic or Shadow Gray Metallic. But I seem to ALWAYS buy silver/gray cars.
I think the dealer was trying to say whatever they had to, in an effort to get me to buy the Rapid Blue. The other dealer is great and it's where I bought my truck earlier this year. But they are pretty strictly focused on trucks/SUV's, so I don't think they have a good sense of actual wait times on a Camaro. Maybe an in person visit to discuss things would make it more clear.
I'm not opposed to having one shipped in. I've just never done something like that because I've seen/heard horror stories of cars getting damaged in transit and since you already made the purchase, you're SOL and have to deal with it yourself. With a custom order, I can at least inspect the car at the dealer, before signing the final paperwork. But maybe my mindset on that is skewed.

Then I looked at the color, and clicked "Cancel". I'm perfectly ok with waiting for the one that I specifically ordered. I am going to wait until March (dealership said 3 months) and then I may just say fuggedaboutit.

Yep. That's the one!
They didn't put up much of a fuss about getting rid of the markup. My guess is they're realizing they are going to have a tough time selling it in that color, unless they find the perfect buyer. I'm really not that picky and I flat out told them if it was Satin Steel Metallic, Shadow Gray Metallic, Riverside Blue Metallic, or even Red Hot, I'd have already signed the paperwork. It's a shame.
If the realistic wait time is really 3-4 months, then I'm happy to place an order.
