Default ZR1 color constraint?

Hey Guys. Just curious to see if anyone else is having issues with ordering the Watkins Glen Gray Metallic for the ZR1?
Placed an order for my customer about 3 months ago and we had allocation for this unit. I'm now being told that the color is not available for 2019
Just checking to see if i'm the only one who has this issue.

As was mine, however the allocation has not come up, that is what many people FAIL to get. My allocation may show up quarter 3 or 4, depending if there are any constraints AT THAT time could have to change things.

An order being placed and accepted at 1100 status is unfortunately worth as much as your buying a Powerball ticket today for one that was drawn yesterday. 1100 status only means an order was placed into GM’s computer system with the initial info filled in properly. 1100 does not mean GM acceptance even though in many lists of order codes it does state, “Preliminary Acceptance” — kind of like the lottery machine accepted your $ 1 but similarly does not mean you will win anything.

Only when an order is at status 2000 does GM accept it and commit to building that vehicle.

Jay, the replacement color looks great too. It's very close to WGG.

Holy poor decisions!!!
WGG was the current number 3 seller on C7's when they dropped it. Main color
w/ Orange at the reveal on the 2019 ZR!
Actually best new color for years. IMO plus same with many others

So what do you do? You change it for another color?
But at same time you leave color's that are NOT selling well.
Seems you add the new color and leave WGG.

Take some excitement away from the purchase for folks wanting to spend 145k?

Hard to figure out just what they are thinking about?
