But for CF looks like they need multiple suppliers.

The Z51 option is so cheap and appealing that they should have known most people would want it. spending 60k on a car whats another measly 2.8k. I am impatient and want my car therefor I will not give them the benefit of the doubt, I feel they dropped the ball on this. They were taking orders since way back, they should have surveyed the dealers for what options were ordered and planned accordingly. If it is purely do to suppliers not being able to produce quality parts in a timely manner, then they should go elsewhere.

just my 2 cents

Can't disagree with that... vendors/suppliers qualification, and forecasting & meeting targeted production was way off the mark. I'd hold parties accountable if this was under my watch.

The good news, although there is still an ongoing Z51 constraint, is all the performance-oriented goodies you get for $2800 bills.
Broken down in 8 subcategories, it's approx $350 for each subcat:
1) electronic limited slip differential
2) larger slotted F&R brake discs w/ black calipers
3) dry-sump oil system
4) upgraded dampers and stabilizer bars & suspension bits
5) upraded & forged Z51-specific wheels + tires
6) aero package incl. spoiler
7) performance-oriented trans gear ratios
8) functional quarter vents for cooling trans and e-diff

Sum up all those.... plus add the chassis geometry & engineered tuning to maximize the whole Z51 package is priceless. Well figuratively it's still 28 Benjamins which is a hell of a deal. Utilize it or not, it's still a no-brainer for many hence the constraints.

I have the Z51 package and Iam at 3400 could there still be constraint on me.

This is good news for you; you likely surpassed all contraints in order to get a 'scheduled for production' status. I doubt it will be further delayed but as you know we can't be 100% sure what happens in BG. If your 3400 status started today, I'd give it a few weeks until it's finally bayed and awaiting to be shipped to your dealer. But do check often weekly since a VIN # is imminent. Congrats and you'll enjoy it soon I hope!

"Utilize it or not, it's still a no-brainer for many hence the constraints"......Chevy obviously didn't think it was a no-brainer for some no-brain reason
