We can order one starting today, but GM hasn't even informed dealers of the prices.

Still debating whether I want to throw in an order for a Riptide Blue LT-1....

No allocations as of yet, so the dealers are just waiting on GM to get rolling.

Garage 56 Edition is not showing up in the order system yet.

Here's my guess on that one. I think all 56 will be going to Hendrick's dealerships.

After the code was added, it was accepted with 1100 status... It has only taken about 50 phone calls and 7 hours of my life to track down this missing code.

Honestly, your dealer should have known that R6J is required. The order system even tells us that it's required. If I try to submit an order without it, it gives an error and when I click to see what the error is, it says to select R6J. Your dealer needs more order workbench training.

It seems like most Florida dealers need workbench training. I ended up going with an out-of-state dealer that could get an order submitted, as everyone I talked to from Jacksonville to Orlando and in between all got the error and did not know how to address it. (reading is hard folks...)

I was told GM changed the ordering system a few weeks back; maybe that is contributing to the lack of ... understanding of the system.

Yeah my sales guy flat out told me he didn't know how to do it and was waiting for the ordering manager to assist this morning...still waiting on that call to confirm I'm in.

Does the CE of the ZL1 have 285/30 R20 all the way around instead of 305/30 R20 on the rear?

Do it...! It's always easier to spend someone else's cash. . I debated it for a while because Riptide will be the closest to HBM that I have and love. But when it came down to it, I'm getting an A10 instead of an A8, and I already changed out my wheels to the 1LE wheels and also red Brembo calipers. I don't know if you can order a 2SS with the 1LE Wheels. I'm sure you can with the red Brembo calipers. I still like the 16-18 front clip better though then the '19s and up. So I decided to pass. I think it would be cool though to own the last model year.

Does anyone know if Retail Sold Order gets any priority over Retail Stock Order?

You would think. But, it's never that simple with the GM. Here is the process:
A sold order defaults to a priority of 1, stock orders default to a priority of 99. Priority 0 means that the dealer does not want GM to place the order. The dealer can change these numbers as needed.

From GM Authority website:

Allocations – The number of a particular vehicle model a dealer is assigned by GM.

Consensus – The planning and forecasting of vehicles between the dealer and GM. A quantity of vehicles that a dealer requests for a given production period from GM. Based on GM data and constraints they may or may not receive the amount requested.

Constraints – Items that are unavailable for ordering due to plant or supplier issues. This could be a certain option or an entire model of vehicle.

Event code – The status that indicates a certain point in the life cycle of a vechicle.

GM OrderWORKBENCH – The website used for ordering GM vehicles.

Final Allocation by Week Report – This report shows a dealer’s final allocation quantities for the specified production period.

Pass 1 – The preliminary pass of the vehicle order process which looks at only the quantity of preliminary orders that equals the lower of a dealer’s allocation quantity and desired quantity.

PDI – Pre-Delivery Inspection

Preferenced – Order has been sent to one of the GM production management systems

Preliminary order – A vehicle order that has been submitted to GM through the OrderWORKBENCH system. It would have successfully gone through Pass One. These orders have an Event Code of 1100 (Preliminary Order Accepted)

Priority number – Indicates the dealer’s preference for the placement of a preliminary order. The lower the number the higher the priority. A sold order defaults to a priority of 1, stock orders default to a priority of 99. Priority 0 means that the dealer does not want GM to place the order. The dealer can change these numbers as needed.

Sold order – A preliminary order that is placed for a customer

TPP – Target Production Period – The date range used in order to define the effective period for a marketing or allocation constraint. Also the period when a specified number of vehicles is scheduled to be produced, typically a 1-2 week period.

TPW – Target Production Week – The week in which the specified vehicle is expected to be built.

How it all works:

Consensus:

Dealer puts in for requested quantities of different model groups

Dealer allocation quantity changes from “production consensus” to “final allocation” after GM resolves any variances between the approved production volumes and production consensus quantities (needs some verification on the days referenced below)

Final Allocation by Week Report is released mid month on Wednesday

Report shows allocations by week for 2 week timeframe

Allocations are assigned on Thursday each week

Dealers have until the following Tuesday to resolve constraint issues before orders are pulled

Ordering:

Order is configured in GM OrderWORKBENCH

Customer information is assigned to order

Order is checked for constraints

Order number is generated

By default the sold order is given priority number of 1

After consensus and dealer receives allocation they can apply it to an order

If there are no constraints it will be preferenced

If no action is taken the system will pull the lowest priority number order (1-99)

If multiple orders are at the same priority number it will pull the oldest order first (need verification)

As long as there are no constraints it will be preferenced.

If there are constraints the dealer would have to either re-configure the order or allow a non-constrained order through

Order is eventually run through Pass 2, 3 and possibly a 4th optional one that can be used and GM may also use.

That may be the jump since the 2.0 turbo model is discontinued for 2024. That was the entry level Camaro in 2023.
