Consensus Cycle Begins!!!!!!!!!
I received notice this morning that consensus cycle 1 begins (earlier than I expected). I'm #1 with my dealer (6 MY 15 allocations) and the consensus revealed that he received approval to proceed with the first order.
The cycle closes on Monday at 9 pm EST.
Now we'll see what the constraints are. I'm ordering an M7, so I have at least cleared that hurdle.
I'm interested to hear whether anyone else has received notice to proceed?

Uhhggh. Left a message for him. Do you have your order tracking set up? If so did your status change?
I'm #1 @ a 2 unit dealer so I'm not getting my hopes up. As of now my tracking status has not changed

I am #1 at a dealership and 2-3 at another. The #1 allocation wants to charge me $5k over, but they did just receive the allocation. I think it rather wait for a while than pay over MSRP. Surprised they won't come down. The market seems to be at MSRP for the most part, excepting certain trade areas.

Yup, just spoke to my dealer and they've got their first Z06 allocated today. I'm 2 (of 16) on the list so I only get a shot at it if the first guy passes on it. Although with 3LZ/Z06/A8 package I suspect I'll be passing on the first few weeks as well. It's cool that they started a week early tho.

Thanks Bob!
As I just mentioned over on SF, I did briefly talk with my dealer this morning and will have a chance to talk with him more at length tomorrow. He said that he has been told that the Z06 ordering section should be active by the time the consensus closes Monday night. I will find out more from both he and the district sales manager tomorrow and report back. Of course, as with the allocation delay, anything is possible. At least progress is being made...baby steps.
I'm trying not to get too excited, because I'm expecting some constraints, and am also not too keen on being in the first batch that gets set aside for QA.

I got the call today also that they have a car in the first consensus but don't know the constraints at this time. I am going to tailor my order to what's available without constraints. I usually get a new model each year so I can follow how the members like the Z07 package and the auto. I will order these if available but not optimistic about my chances.

My dealer got their spot and I am #1. I only have until Saturday to finalize the option specs. It's a 7MT without Comp seats so should be built ASAP.
I am panicking a bit as I am not set 100% on what I want. Don't want to lose my spot but it's such a gamble ordering one without seeing them built.

What happens if you are number 1 on your dealers list but have the automatic ordered. Do you lose your place or do they put it in the system and fill the order when the automatics are available.
Does anyone know how this will work?

Dealer would have to order a manual or loose the allocation. Typically they would move you down to the next order spot. If the dealer has only two coming for the model year, that could be quite late. If the dealer has someone else looking for a manual, they would bump them up and build their car first. If nobody is on the list for the manual car the dealer has to order it for stock, or loose it.
