Here is my situation-my dealer in Vancouver Canada had an allocation from GM Canada for 12 cars in the 1st round; I was #7 on his list and on 7/19 (my birthday), I placed my order: z51, CRM, 3LT, MSRC, NPP, FAY, CC3. My order hit 1100 on 9/24 and 2500 on 12/17. So 160 days since I gave my order to my dealer I still do not have a TPW. Order tracking is not available for Canadian orders so I checked with Customer Service who acknowledge that my order is in the "system" but do not have any hard data on its status. My dealer gave me an identical answer because all orders here are on "manual" allocation? Has anyone, either in the US or Canada been waiting longer? :canadaflag

You're not even close to my wait. I ordered back on Feb 6 with a forum dealer that was offering MSRP - $1000. I was #24 (placing me about 1/2 way through his first round). Due to constraints on Z51, FAY and C2Z I finally made it to 2000 on Dec 17 and I now have a TPW of 1/13.

I'm in Edmonton, Canada. Ordered on Nov. 17th and have a TPW of Jan 6th. I did order z51 but not FAY or any other constrained options.

Placed my deposit on 03.20.2013 for a Z51 vert, then officially placed order on 09.09 for my Z51 vert plus FAY, I am still at status 1100.
I am hoping for status movement in January with an April target delivery date, if my delivery is past May then my plan B [2015 model] goes into effect.

Similar to my situation. I placed an order down for a convertible the same week it was shown in Geneva. Had the same issue with FAY. I'm hoping for delivery in Feb but....
