Anyway, just a thought... Mine is a 2SS 1LE but you can see my timeline in my signature. I didn't get any options that have been constrained though, like the PDR... Just a sunroof.

Oh, and don't let any place sell you over MSRP... Almost all of the dealerships trying to give me a hard sell about paying 2K or more over MSRP have since called me back ready to sell at MSRP. That includes a brand new ZL1 in California. I think they smell what's coming, because production picked up dramatically the last few weeks...

Thanks, I started looking around and found one that just popped up. Picked it up for MSRP, going to pick it up tomorrow.

Canceled my $1000 deposit at the other dealership.

You rock, hope you'll have a successful day tomorrow. Best of all, you'll have her half broken in on that drive, assuming you managed to find a new car and not a used one.

Please post some pics once that Camaro is yours

Yep, got a brand new 2022 1LE in white with a manual transmission. Has 11 miles on it.

Thats awesome!! I try doing that every so often and due to me wanting a manual trans ZL1 1LE it seems to be hard to find one in inventory.

I sent an email to the dealer to follow up on my concerns. I asked all those questions at the time of order and was told they had 3 Camaro allocations and 1 of those for a ZL1 and there were no constraints with my order. I'll see what they say.

The dealer got back to me and just as I thought they didn't have an allocation for a ZL1 and lied. Found a Rapid blue ZL1 in Michigan that accepted supplier pricing so I put a deposit down and will finish up the paperwork tomorrow and have it shipped.

Looks sharp

All you need now is a set of black lug nuts

MightyBobo · 12-14-2021, 11:06 PM

Gosh I wish it was that easy to find the car I ordered lol. Was literally almost ready to drive 2700 miles to get one, then my order got accepted.

These McGard lug nuts are the best I've seen and had: https://mcgard.com/product/black-bul...f-4-lug-nuts-2

If you want locking lugs, here is the matching counterpart product: https://mcgard.com/product/black-con...ks-and-1-key-2

So with comments posted about placing a dealer order and allocation how can the dealership actually show you on the system they do other than taking their word for it. Our large dealership said they will have allocation soon and at that time we plan on going to dealer and input order. In our case SS cars with summer only tires will not be accepted until early in the new year with late spring delivery…so we were told. We reside in Canada… thx
