It's a different world today. You may have heard with the invention of computers and internet, things move alot faster 
People expect faster results with everything. I'm a younger guy with limited patience

They've offered me a few cars that arrived for cancelled orders and stock but I'd rather wait for the car that I really want.

BTW, the market adjustment alone on the hi-po version will be 20K if you want one right away, so you need to hope that the car is the same price, I guess...
Good luck..

Actually, with the invention of computers and internet, the only thing moving faster is information.. Cars still take time to build, and things still happen.... I mean, really, people wait weeks to get a new smart phone from Apple, or a new X Box, so a couple of months for a car is outrageous?

That said, most ordering a competitor have to wait at least that long for their ships to come in, literally....

It's not an allocation issue, it's a constraint issue. They're submitting orders to GM every week but a fully optioned car like mine remains on the pile.

People that buy another brand because of the GM drama may just not post it here.
It is no longer a Chevrolet. It is now an Allocation by GM. So if you live in some small town with a Chevy dealer that you've done business with for 30 yrs., you are just SOL if you want a C7 unless you want to buy mail order. One of the stupidest most customer alienating systems know to mankind.

Oh well. It's been that way with the Corvette and every other low volume or high demand vehicle from GM, Ford, Chrysler, and the larger foreign manufacturers (Honda - Acura NSX for example) for years. 
It took me 'forever' to receive my '69 Corvette from my small dealer. He had an annual allocation of three cars! I enjoyed my life as I waited.
Or you can go to one of 38 Ferrari dealers, 23 Aston Martin dealers, or (woo-hoo) 189 Porsche dealers across the US! They don't operate with any customer alienating allocation system!

quick order
I ordered a coupe from MacMulkin/Ron and tommy placed the order with the z51 and 3lt package and the only thing i could not receive when placing the order was the clear roof, i went with the painted roof and i ordered it and was accepted within 24 hours and this was October 29th and i was just told that my car was produced November 26th and is now a code 4200 which means that it shipped. This was fast seeing that my original order was from a local dealer that could not get the order accepted after 2 months. IM HAPPY

A Z51 is 53800 $, figured 73795$ starting price for the hi-po model was more then reasonable...Considering we know that there are convertibles coming and the cost of 2lt or 3lt.I don't know their marketing strategy...At this point, the car will debut in 37 days, we'll see.
