It did take a while to finally get an allocation, but none of those delays were on them (most were due to plant closures) and they never tried to misrepresent the situation.

Patience my friend! You will be happy you waited when you finally get it.

I'm praying for patience at this time myself. My ZLE acquisition started last year, March 2021, with dealer #1. Constraints and no allocation for my 2021 order so I moved to dealer #2 in June 2021. Pushed to 2022 model and Chevy finally accepted order in Nov. 2021. Per their Chevrolet rep., dealer told me I had to remove the PDR option if I wanted this allocation. I removed PDR to get the car built (Vivid orange M6 ZLE) in Dec 2021. 1LE component constraints moved production to Jan. 2022 and the car was finally built on 1/31/2022. The car has been sitting in the Camaro factory Lansing parking lot for a month now with an estimated delivery date pushed to March 29. Order status changed to DELAYED yesterday reportedly for a "QC hold" per Chevy rep. (I think the 1LE tires are the issue after sitting in subfreezing MI weather for a month.) No estimated delivery date available now.

I share this "adventure" partly out of frustration and to provide those of you with Camaro orders some inspiration to hang in there. Your acquisition process cannot possibly be worse than mine. Note the dealer(s) and salesmen have been very gracious with their time and providing order information (Thanks JoeP@TeamBeckyD too!.) My mother always says "patience is a virtue."
