No call yesterday so I'm pretty sure that "no new" is "bad news" in this case.

I got a call from my dealer, thinking I was going to be offered a 'go' if I dropped 1 or more of my constrained options. I was wrong, I was offered a Z-51 confirmed convertible order slot. I am still going to hold out for my coupe.

I wonder if the painted roof constraint is a marketing ploy to get buyers on the constraint list to switch to the transparent roof??
Just a thought. But then again there are constraints on just about everything carbon fiber.
