Maybe someone can post the current constraints?
It pays to dig a little deeper...
First, does your dealer have a current allocation, did he submit your order to that allocation, or is he just entering your order into the GM system and is making a suggestion?
Only when an allocation becomes available is an order possibly going to get picked up. Orders that fit within the percentages of the constraints will be picked up. Your dealer can then adjust your order to fit if you agree.
When my dealers allocation came up they asked for my order. I was familiar with the constraints thanks to this forum. Several constraints could have affected my order. Painted roof, CFZ painted ground effects, A8, and cf dash were a few. The most constrained item was the CFZ without the Z07 package at 25%. They placed two orders, one with and one without. Luckily, the one with the option was picked up.
You don't get paid to run their business but you probably should. Unfortunately, you need to understand where they are in the ordering process to know if they BS'ing you or not.
If you are forced to pass on CFZ don't feel bad. The aftermarket offers equivalent products at a lower price. Win-win. You also can always buy GM items at a discount through forum vendors.
