Why is Chevy so hush hush about pricing???? If it wasn't gonna be a substantial increase, I think they would have released the details. I think a lot of people will be a little disappointed when the price is released.

They always wait on all newer models...nothing new here, has nothing to do with how they will or will not increase the prices.

Expect at least one but more likely two rounds of orders pulled (2000) before pricing is released. Chevy's actual customers, the dealers, are going to order what they are allowed (allocated) at the beginning of a model year. They are not going to forego any allocations because the price is unknown. As in everything regarding the vehicle ordering process, there is at least one exception but I do not expect GM to make that mistake again.

I know it has advancements and tech, etc, etc., etc., but to me it's getting too expensive and I'm sure the 1SS will have a starting MSRP, my guess of $36,749 ......

I agree, but I don't see a 1SS getting close (base price) at all to 40K. I'm thinking 36,000 tops, although I used 36,500 as my figure in a previous post above as a worst case scenario. But even at 36K, Chevy now really has to offer notably better performance, or content (or both) than the base Mustang GT at just over 32K offers.

Also I read a thought provoking post a while back from a member outlining various reasons that Chevrolet could be saving money in the 6th gen's production versus gen 5. That combined with the above reasoning, makes me feel like we could see 1SS prices for the 16 model, very close to the 15 model. The 2SS on the other hand, I feel may jump higher than the 1SS does, due to just how loaded the 2016 2SS comes compared to the 2015 2SS.

That said, it won't take but 2 or 3 performance/mechanical options to push the 1SS into 40K territory for sure.

THIS. What is happening now is completely typical for new generation models.

I think you outlined this elsewhere, but how long does each "round" take? A few weeks?

[SSport16]

Isn't allocation given out every 2 weeks? I think every other Thursday? I could be wrong, please someone correct me if I am wrong.

Im pretty sure i have read him say 1 round is 1 week.

[laborsmith]

When things get going a consensus takes place every two weeks and a consensus is what I refer to as a round but after the first consensus (which looks like it will start August 13) it will usually be three or four weeks to the second.

The dealer ordering process takes place every week once things get going. The two are separate but tied together. In the consensus portion dealers are told how many of each vehicle line they can expect to order over the coming two weeks and what the constraints are for that consensus period.

Say a dealer is given 10 Camaro allocations in a consensus. In the first week he might be allowed to use four and the second week six. The dealer builds the four then is told if all four will pass through or if a constraint applies. The dealer than does builds adjusting for the constraints. This all starts on Thursday, with a pass taking place each day. There are three passes to complete the ordering process, than Tuesday everything is locked and that night the data is downloaded and Wednesday every dealer can see the results.

This process happens for each vehicle line, truck or auto.

In case you are wondering, this is a simplified version of what happens.

A round is a consensus period, there is normally a consensus period every two weeks, but at the beginning of a new model run there may be no more than two or three rounds in the two months leading up to the start of regular production.

The above is based on my outside looking in observations and any clarifying is welcome.

I think you might just get your wish on this one. We'll see. It will be close.

A no option 1SS out the door for $35K after those discounts...I can see that happening for sure.
