I found another dealer today that said they have a Black on Red coming in 3 weeks. The sales guy showed me his computer and it said that the car was already built. He said it could be here sooner than 3 weeks as well.
I'm going to slap down a deposit on this car as well and pickup up whichever one comes first. The deposit was only $500 and it's refundable so if I change my mind I've got nothing to lose.
If the other one does get built on June 13 it would probably take a few weeks to get here anyway.

I raced down there because 4 other people said they were coming to test drive the vehicle.
Well I got there first and 'purchased' the vehicle so that they can trade it for the Black on Red. I loved the look of disappointment on the other people's faces
I also took the Black on Yellow 'Bumble Bee' out for a test drive. I think the sales guy **** himself halfway throught the test drive. When I parked the car all you could smell was brake and clutch
Anyway, it turned out that the other dealer had already sold the Black on Red so there was nothing to trade with
So instead they placed a factory order and put the "Bumble Bee" back up for sale. They have only received one of their 5 allocated SS's so far. Mine is scheduled to be built on June 13. The sales guy told me he used to date a girl at the GM order office (or whatever it was called) so he called her and tried to move it up to the first build day - something like June 7. She said she would try. I sure hope this guy was good in the sack 
I'm wondering if I should try selling my car ('95 Talon) now in anticipation of my delivery date or if I should wait in case I get screwed like some other people. I don't want to end up driving a bloody rental car for 2 months.

Over all, this car is the best i've owned or driven. All my Honda/Acura ricer buddies agree.
Good luck
