it was a joke.... no body caught it though.

 

As it was stated, the car is not his (testing it for GM), so the contest is on!

 

These are some serious bragging rights.....Cant wait to see who wins??....Would be fun to compare the time difference between the 1st American to get one vs. 1st Canadian!!!

 

some sort of driver feedback program i bet.

 

I was going to buy one of the first ones they had at my dealership, but I decided to get a work truck instead, & get a 2009 SS/TC Coupe in October (Or a helluva good deal on a 08).

 

I'm thinking I will put up a prize.... First LNF Cobalt gets a Stage Kit....

 

usually the coastal cities are the first to get the new cars, but i still haven't seen one (looking in the lot of my former employer who was selling like 3 ss s/c's a month) i imagine they would be among one of the first dealers to get one (around here anyway)

Has anyone heard of an ss t/c sitting on a dealers lot somewhere?
I saw an ss t/c HHR already.. it was pretty nice i guess, but i just dont really like the HHR bodystyle. plus he wouldnt race me so he got -5 points.

that would be mighty cool of you.

 

Yea, a stage kit would be pretty sweet!

 

Id rather wait for an '09 with the reconfigurable performance display...increased MPG (35) and let Gm work out some of the kinks first!!! Also hoping for the black graphite wheels as an option for '09...

 

Stage kit for a SS/TC??? well maybe one of these days. so i guess that means I was just kidding...

 

Damn you! Make up something like a stage kit..... LOL

 

actually they have developed a 290whp stage kit for the LNF.. and they have it on some weird 1 seater red solstice(look it up on youtube). wether or not it comes to the cobalt market.. i dont know. but, it is out there.

 

Sorry, couldn't help it,

yes there are rumors. but I can't talk about it.

 

told ya so..

what if it's somebody not on the site and we get them to join?
some sort of finders fee/prize maybe?

 

No, I've checked with 5 dealers in Buffalo, New York area and they all have done a nationwide search and alll claim that no dealer has received a Turbo as of yet. Got them all doing daily searches. Gotta make work for it.

 

Orders were accepted at Lordstown last week, right? Normally 8 weeks for build (timeframe for my 05 SS/SC) so delivery should be second week in June?

 

This is the current info. from another thread in here from someone who actually either knows an employee or works in the factory.

Yes that is correct about 67 a day and 402 per week with over 4500 orders. As of now there are no special customer orders you can't buy a vehicle without a vin, just can't so all of these orders are from the dealer and i believe that is the way the production management sees it, the dealer buys the vehicle first then you buy it once the dealer has an invoice and a production status of 3800 which means the vehicle has been made. my ss/tc at the moment is at status 3300 which means it has a date set that it will be made.

So, they have 4500 orders already and at a rate of 402 Turbo builds per week that would put any orders recently submitted 11 weeks out. So, it all depends on how early you got your order in. I asked others in this forum to list the order dates as well as the dealers ifo. on the build date of their CobaltSS.

 

Though not sure if orders are being accepted right now. Though they are kicking ass on getting these cars made, gotta give it to them, even with the american axle strike and low stock being caused because of the ss sedan they are doing a good job.

 

CobaltSS/TC,
You said they are kicking ass there in Lordstown. Did they ramp up production and increase daily output further since your last post???

 

No they didn't increase production numbers, but all i am saying is they went from making 2-4 pilot cars a day to 1 in 100, to 1 in 45 to 1 in 15 in what 2 weeks, that is impressive they are really working hard. Hopefully i will get another update today or this weekend though.

 

no orders being accepted at dealerships anymore....... they cant even get invoices on them

 

^^ any proof of this.. because you can order then....

 

they have one at the chevy dealer by where i work but its still wraped up in the back the tech that works their said that its a white one

 

tech lied!! white isn't available in 08!
