I thought so also, went for the lighter one on the hope of being easier to keep looking clean. I love high gloss black, but man are they hard to keep clean, but they sure look great when they are

Oh great, spend 10 times more and probably wait 10 times longer. Wonder if they had a meeting to settle on 499.

I thought all the stripes were dealer applied or did they change that?

After that it went down hill fast, after 6 weeks I asked for status, they had none, later I called the GM Customer Service who let me know I needed an Order number, that took 4 months to get from my dealer. Finally I start getting status and an TPW and now my date is sliding.

I guess there is still more about the "system" I don't know about, I see most in the 3800 tracking thread with orders places 6-8 weeks ago with steady TPW, steady progression through the codes, no such luck on mine.

I can only guess that my order is some kind of "standby" or placeholder in case a slot opens or some such thing, I thought at 3000 it would be clear sailing, so this was not real welcome news.

Given that I have no clue what will happen next, like 9/21 rolls up and it is 10/21, 11/21... I am not sure I have many options, start from scratch for another Camaro from another dealer, but I don't see how that buys me anything but the risk of the same thing happening. The other option is to get something else and just wait until the Camaro is available off the lot a couple of years from now and decide then.

Sometimes you just have to know when to fold'em
