The salesman I dealt with was very easy to work with - gave me the order workbench without me asking, was a quick and easy negotiation, and I felt confident the car was coming. These guys seem to move a lot of Camaros and Corvettes, they had a number on the lot, and the sales guy was driving a 50th SS.

I ordered on 7/29, the car is still in 1100 status. I asked him about it last week and he said that it wasn't an issue, and that the build process only takes 2-3 weeks, and we're still 100% good for a 6-8 week delivery schedule at this point.

It is tricky, because in a vacuum, I would feel totally at ease that everything is fine. However, people in here are saying if it's still at 1100 after a week, that you are in trouble. Not sure what to think - I don't want to create a scene or cancel my order prematurely. My inclination is to wait, and I don't feel at all that they have given me the run around - I was given the order workbench without asking, they verified all the options with me at the time of order, and had me verify on the workbench print out, and they were seemingly realistic about the timeframe. My gut tells me 2 weeks after order is too soon to be concerned.. thoughts?

So go ask them the question I posted above in post #11......a workbench @ 1100 is toilet paper, until the workbench says 2000, you are nowhere.
