It means that for the production week beginning 7-18-16 (orders that are being picked up this week), nationwide availability will be limited to 13% of orders and that the constraint is expected to last for less than 4 weeks.
It also means that in order for your dealer to order a car in Watkins Glen Gray, they must have an allocation that allows that color to be ordered.

Remember that NCM deliveries are generally not scheduled until 2 weeks after the car is built.

That depends on your dealer (how many allocations do they have) and is anything you are ordering on constraint? Smaller dealers may not get an allocation that allows a constrained item. Larger dealers get so many allocations that they will get at least some allocations with the constrained items. Then, it depends on where you are on their list of customers - are there a bunch in front of you? Of course, with a 0% constraint NOBODY can order it for you and have GM accept it.

Ok, so if placed an order this week for a Watkins Glen and my order is at 3000, does that mean my order will not be held up.

If you order in mid-July AND if your order is picked up promptly (i.e. your dealer has allocation and your order isn't affected by constraints), your car will be built mid to late August. That makes the timing just about perfect for a September 12th museum delivery. BTW, the museum is VERY cooperative in safely storing your car until delivery in the event of them receiving it early.

I took delivery of mine 3 1/2 weeks after it was built. They were very accommodating, you'd have to ask them. Obviously they can't hold them for too long, they gave me a delivery window two weeks out after it was built and I had to push it back a week and a half - not a problem.

There is speculation on potential Z performance upgrades. IF there is anything, it could be related to cooling. HP bump unlikely. Cosmetic also unlikely but who knows.
This is all speculation. Mine is based on a few conversations at the Bash and reading waaaayyy to many threads on the topic. But its fun to contemplate.

I am confused. Is the Watkins Glen Grey on restraints. If so, I am at 3000 so does that mean mine is not affected or does it mean i have to wait for 4 weeks. I have a TPW of 7/18/16.
From what I have heard, the Z (widebody and other) parts are needed for initial GS surge production. This is the main reason.
