Special ordered

With people posting about having problems with their cars while still being new, it got me wondering. Are the guys/gals having these problems, people who have ordered their cars and had to wait for it to be built, or did they just get it off the lot.

I ordered my 06' SS/SC, have mods done and have no issues whatsoever.

I got mine off the lot, although it was a lot 4 hours away, so you can kind of say it was sort of special ordered. =P

Special ordered mine. Took around 2 months from time of order to when I took delivery.

Off the lot, but I lucked out because they'd just received it that day. And I lucked out with the G85 package, Onstar, etc.

Dealer was about 30 minutes away.

Made me wonder if knowing it was a special order that the builders took more care, or if it was destined for a dealer , they kind of threw it together (so to speak)

I doubt the builders have any clue where the car is going or to whom it is going to. Its not a Z06.

Maybe someone that works at a plant can chime in on this???
