I'd like to point the guy to the right place and ask him what it says. Is it also possible that allocations have not yet opened up to dealers in different areas (such as Minnesota)?

I have not seen anything to indicate allocations are distributed based on region, with exceptions such as the Spark EV or the Volt, which allocations are based on other demands, such as the California demand regarding no emissions. For the Camaro, no such restrictions apply.
Consensus is every two weeks and a dealer can not be certain what future consensuses may offer. They can guess but you already suspected that, but can not know for sure.
It comes down to trust. If you believe your dealer will be upfront and will treat you right, than stay with him. It is hard to find such a dealer but if you have found one, waiting an extra few weeks would be worth it. If you are uncertain, place your order with Becky Doyle and you will know you have found one. You can take delivery here in Michigan, she can help arrange a courtesy delivery to a dealer near you, or she can arrange to have one of the Rodgers Chevrolet haulers drop your order off in your driveway.
