Progress of 2008 Turbo
 

I was told today the factory has accepted my order for production and has picked it to be made. I will hopefully have a vin soon, so those of you who are trying to get a grill can use this vin, also the invoice will be in soon so i can give all pricing from wholesale to gms to supplier. Any one else now their status?

Yea...

I'll pick one up at a dealership when they hit the floors.

We have identical cars on order!

The Canadian cars are being built in May and June :(

SWEET!! i will get pics for you when i get it, it is being made on April 7th, so i should have it at the end of April.

nice

YOU LUCKY SOB!!!!! - You better watch out...I may just hunt you down and steel that car!! :guns::guns::guns:
Check my sig, I'm going to order the same thing! (except I don't want the black on black, a little too plain for my taste).

first day of production for the vehicles, you should feel good knowing the workers will take extra long on your car (although they won't have the system down yet)

my ss/tc is also ordered and iwas told it would be put into production april 7th as well. i was told to expect it to hit the dealer either the last week of april or 1st week of may. i wouldn't expect there to be any issues with car even though its gonna be from the first batch built. i'm sure they worked out the kinks of the process while they were finishing up the testers. and if anything can you say class-action lawsuit?

Not really, thats what a warranty is for. When you look at warranty data by month the first few months of a new engine always have the highest frequency and cost. However, those problems will likely manifest themselves in under 5yrs/100k mi so you will be covered.

Yeah they said they are making sellable units as of march 31st and have been practing pretty sure there won't be any problems and as far as engine issue cause the LNF has been out for a while now. But like it was said that is what warranty is for. And i am a service tech so i wouldn't be happy to be fixing my own car!

Any chance you will be taking it to PIR this summer?

I work across the street from a chevy dealer and i want the new TC soo bad. But im still in college and wont have money for a while.

It would be cool to see one in person and especially see it racing.

you know i would love to, i have wanted to go to PIR but haven't had the chance to actually race something since my camaro. So i probably will.

You should go. If you do send me a message on here if u can find me, and let me know.

I have only raced once. I have an 83 celica. Its pretty fun.

Will do. hey my dealer ordered another cobalt ss/tc a couple days ago, so when it gets in i'll let you know

Wut dealership is that?

should def take it to PIR....im sure me and the club will eventually get there! lol.

i was told here by a canadian dealer that they are getting them in 6 weeks!

Russ chevrolet

I just called my dealership & they said 30 days until they get 3 SS/TC's in.

The guy I was talking to was going to pick up 1, and I'm picking up another...

They are getting 2 Blacks, & 1 Silver.

So i was talking to my sales manager today and he checked the status of my car, and he said gm told him that it won't be built until MAY 26th!!!!!!! I ordered my car on march 13th and it was accepted on that date. They are saying they have to much demand for the amount of supplies at the factory so the they aren't producing as many. All i can say is that if a dealer gets one of these cars soon they will not go for MSRP. Ohh and just a reminder i got a target production date of april 7th thru the 13th, now it is may 26th.:thumbsdow:thumbsdow:thumbsdow

mine has a target production week of 4/21/2008. MSRP:$24,685.00 GMS: $22,683.03 <---My price. Cant wait.

yeah "target" production, mine was april 7th through the 13th, and look at it now lol.

well it was 4/28/08 so it seems to be making progress..... im checking GMdealerworld everyday looking for a vin. Until then I have a feeling American Axle is going to screw us..

Yeah i was tracking on dealerworld as well but decided to call gm and they can tell you a date it will be built because it just told me event code 3000 (accepted by production) and i got the date, it will never update until they actually build it i believe. so i would give dealerworld a call they can tell you.

i'm gonna stop by my dealership in the next few days to get an update. when the dealer can provide you with a vin# then you are talking business.
