For example I included zl1s just in case he wants to upgrade

FYI... You can include 2022 and 2023 model years by using year=2022,2023 in the link.

The most important thing to look for is the highest volume camaro dealer in your area. Allocations are based on sales volume as I wasted three months waiting on my closest dealer to get an allocation due to a separate issue.. I agree with asking about where your priority are in the order queue if you were to place an order.

My allocation issue is here https://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=608593.

Being more directly focused on the desired features, there are a total of five cars that meet baseline criteria - V8, not a ZL1, 6 Speed Manual, MRC, NPP, Convertible. If you drop the MRC requirement, the total goes up to 15. Focus on 2SS trim only, and you lose two more cars from the list. And that covers 2022 AND 2023 model years.

There's basically nothing out there...

It is early in the MY. Thinking unloading using the truck DD, which is a very nice DD. Then just keep looking. A sharkskin came in a bit away but no silver and no MRC

I think ordering is really the only option. My guess is there isn't going to be much that dealers will order for stock on a final MY car unless they have a proven track record of selling them quick.

Yep and with the shitshow the way it is -for whatever- reason- I am in no hurry to get screwed.

I still say you should order a ZL1 convertible, there will not be another chance, those are very rare and will probably be in high demand by the time you're ready to sell.

I agree. Go for the ZL1 vert. I wish I had. I’m happy with my 21 2SS vert, but now that I have owned it for just over one year, I would have preferred the ZL1

[FarmerFran]

I do not have 20 grand sitting around for a ZL1, if someone wants to send me $20,000.00 USD I will gladly buy a ZL1

Id go with a call to the the DC Chevy guy that is doing a lot of the leg work in that orders status thread. I've got a good sales person at James-Martin that took over my order I had with Joe when he passed away, seems pretty knowledegable and uses the vinview and tracks my car though I still ping the order status thread, too.

One major piece of advice: Have EXTREME patience.

Your car might show up in 6 weeks. It might show up in 6 months. Or longer.

BINGO

Not being in a hurry really helps your plan/situation. We started the real search NOV 2021 with a local dealer manager whose name was given by a co-worker before I retired. He locked in a SOLD ORDER & gave me the number immediately as we knew it would be a while before anything actually happened. We're not a large town, & the dealer probably sells many more pickups/suv s compared to Camaros. About April 2022, manager contacted me & advised he had figured a way to get our 2SS through a friend of his that works another dealer 100 miles away. I think they agreed to swap out an allocation kind of deal. Our 2SS was built first week of June 2022, & arrived our dealer Aug 8, 2022.

One thing I told myself, was no way was I going to pay a premium above MSRP! MSRPs are high enough now days. If you don't have someone close, that you really trust to be 100% honest, then the suggestions about going with DCChevy that is really helping everyone out. My plan years ago was to go with Becky/Joe when the time came if local didn't pan out, but things changed over the last couple of years. GOOD LUCK!!

By the way, I get your comment about the ZL1. As much as I'd love one, just cannot justify the higher price for our intended use.
