Order Accepted
Just got a call from my local dealer…GM has accepted my order (even with a painted roof) with an expected TPW the latter part of Oct.!!
Got a color change in just in time: Went from Shark Gray/Kalahari to Blade Silver/Jet Black.
Think I'm excited? I already have Lloyd's Mats (floor & cargo) and a solid plate frame in hand and a new iPod Nano is on its way to me.
It will be a happy Thanksgiving!!

Grats. It's nice your dealer called you. I always have to keep calling them for updates which they never know. I was told 4 weeks till I get the car, but it's been almost 8 weeks now and still not at the dealership. Least chevy.com tells me the car is sitting and waiting to be picked up for delivery though no one can tell me when that would happen. I did get a laugh when I told them I could track a 5 buck package at the post office but can't seem to track a 60k car.

After I just bashed the dealer saying i've been waiting for 8 weeks, they just called me tonight and said it was ready to pick up. They just need to put the spoiler on the car so tomorrow I get mine. Yours is coming olympic!

I ordered mine with a "glass" roof but GM apparently just missed it. Car is on the truck with color matched roof according to the invoice. Dealer is ordering the glass. I mentioned that I was surprised as the color matched is on allocation. He told me that color matched is not and hasn't been on allocation.
What do you folks make of that?

Regarding your order, while anything is possible I highly doubt that GM made a mistake on your build. What's much more likely is that the dealer entered your order incorrectly and that GM built your car exactly as the dealer entered. it.

Another commonly ordered option, the Z51 package has been and remains constrained at 55%. So out of every 100 vettes off the line, only 55 can be Z51s. Much better than last year, when it was as low as 25% or occasionally 0.
As mentioned, your dealer screwed up the order, and it was one of the 35% that was allocated to receive solid painted roofs. Just my $0.02 worth, but I would keep the painted roof, and make the dealer sell you a transparent one at cost, to make up for their screw-up. Even if you don't use the extra roof much, it adds to the resale value down the line.
