So it begins!
Well, I took the plunge and ordered a 2008 Crystal Red, 1lt, Auto this afternoon from Classic Chevrolet in Grapevine, TX. Grapevine has a pretty good allocation so hopefully it won't take too long. The exact car I wanted was actaully at Bankston in Dallas (the only one in the Nation), but they would not honor supplier pricing.

Well, as of right now, 1lt's are on national constraint. There are zero for the country. That could change tomorrow, when the constraint list comes out, though. But if not, you may have to wait awhile, or jump up to a 2LT.

Congratulations!
I change my mind every week it seems, but my favorite choice of this week if I were ordering a new 08 and if I lived in the US (we can't get 1LT cars up here, our base model is equipped with all the 3LT stuff), would be a Crystal Red 1LT coupe, automatic with 2.73s, transparent roof and the base wheels.
Did you order the 2.73 axle ratio for yours? It's definitely $395 well spent!

I wouldn't worry about that, the constraints change every week, so chances are good that the next time they announce the next round of constraints (which is pretty soon I think) you'll be free and clear and everything you want will be ok. It's all good!

They took my certificate on mine that I ordered.
BTW update....after showing another forum members picutre of his CR with Cashmere interior, my wife commented how she liked it. So I have changed my order to a 2LT with the Cashmere interior.
Now it is no longer a constraintmobile. Hopefully that will speed things up.
