I take it since no status codes have moved to 3400 that production will not start on 5 AUG. Status codes should change the week prior to production correct?

Could change to 3400 as late as the Friday before the week of production. It is all tentative anyway.

Plus not everyone checking their status. I haven't checked since I got to 3300 in June
Also not everyone on here.. so we can't say no one at 3400

rumors are stirring that there is a problem with altitude adjustments. AFM and direct injection is a pain for software. No hard facts but that is the talk going around. Seems that GM would come out weekly for a update after all the preorder excitement that has started. Don't understand why they don't whats the secret.

I love rumors. Especially as there is usually no basis in fact. Makes them all the better.

I along with several others have said regular production will start August 5, 2013. As far as I can tell, we are still in July so August 5 should be several days away, unless the calendar changed and no one has bothered to tell me.

Now the Premiere Editions may have some effect, but I am pretty sure each will count as a regular production even though they will have their own VIN series.

Does not mean there will not be a delay in start, but until August 5 has come and gone we can not say.

Status changes bounce forward and back as a matter of fact, whether a vehicle has been in production for years or has yet to start production. We are noticing only because the internet is more open, not because the Stingray start is so out of step with what is normal.

As I may have said, ordering a new vehicle is a true adult e-ride and ordering a Stingray has to be the ultimate e-ride. It is a roller coaster in the truest sense of the term and I am pleased to be a watcher as the ride hurtles toward its end.

Agree with you its a hell of a ride. I will hold you to the Aug 5 date but I have this hunch it will pass us by. The altitude issue is a real issue and GM is working hard to correct it. Seems as if it wasn't seen in the trucks due to gearing. Oh well lets hope Aug 5 is it. I want it more than anyone. Just GM needs to give more updates to the progress. I would be the first one to be proud they corrected a issue before sending out the car. Hell in 2007 I had three trans. put in my Z06 thanks to a development issue with transmission venting.

Don't see why that should hold up physical production, being as some say (GM not confirmed) there is a QC hold on the first produced. If in fact there is a software problem, they can reflash the ECM while on hold when the problem is solved. IF in fact there is any problem at all.

Excellent point. Not something I had thought of. Of course they would still produce to not fall behind, if anything, they'll just hold all the cars until they figure it out, and then reflash them once a solution is found, or they decide there's actually not a problem.

Finally 3300 now the wait for production dates. Thank You Becky for all the checkin.
Can you please check status of order QZTFS8 on Friday 8-2. Just checking to see if TPW dates are starting yet that is if 8-5 is really going to be the first week of production TPW's should be starting. Again we all thank you Becky.
