The margins on Camaros are much thinner. COSTCO can get you something, but how much depends on when you take delivery so you don't know if they and GM settle on incentives until the month of your delivery.
They only give you one authorization number and one dealer, but if for some reason it does not work out, let's say the dealer is nit honest about their allocation, you can request to cancel that authorization and have them move you to another authorized dealer. It is not easy for the because they only accept dealers with very high customer satisfaction scores so they will try to work out your issue with the dealer first.
COSTCO has nothing to do with your deposit so make sure 1) it is fully refundable 2) you pay with a credit card so you have the credit card company on your side if things go South and 3) you escalate to the dealers GM if you find the sales rep or sales management are not being truthful. Demand to know their allocation. If they don't have allocation, call them every Tuesday morning and ask if they got allocation and are going to match you to it. Then trade out dealers when you have had enough lies.
