Time between order accepted and target production week?

About 10 weeks from order entered to status 3100.

Then it appears that my order went from status 3100 to 3800 in a matter of days.

What did I give up to get my C7

I gave up my 2010 Camaro 1LS. Hated to see it go, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much it was worth.
