The fun wait begins!

I've been dreaming about owning a Camaro for 30+ years. Right or wrong, I prioritized other obligations ahead of a "for fun" vehicle. I have worked hard the past 2 1/2 years to get things to a point where getting a Camaro would be doable, hoping to make this a reality before they ended 6th gen production. It would be better for me if I could wait another 8 months or so, however, as we all know, 8 months from now will be too late...so it's "now or never".

I took the advice from many on this forum about how best to "pick" a dealer to optimize the chances of getting an allocation in a timely manner. I was able to find a dealer which moves quite a few Camaros that would honor GMS pricing and NOT require any dealer add-ons. I pulled the trigger on an order for a 2SS coupe on 4/19 and I am happy to share that as of today the order is at 3000 status with a TPW of 5/29.

I am SO excited!



I've been a long time lurker on this forum and have read through hundreds of threads. I want to thank the members of this forum who have shared their information, opinions, insight and guidance. I have found the volume of information available to be invaluable as I have investigated & planned my trim selection, aftermarket mods, etc.



Over the years I have considered all 3 NA V8 trims (LT1, 1SS, 2SS). I really wanted the 2SS but it seemed those allocations were harder to come by in recent months which is why I considered the other trims. I decided it was 2SS or bust so I was bracing for a long wait on getting an allocation (if ever). I'm glad I rolled the dice.

I know that with the shipping delays, etc., it will more than likely be quite a few months before the car arrives.

However, now that I know the order has been picked up by GM, my perspective is this:

The long (30+ year) wait is over...the fun wait begins!
