[QUOTE="AllFlash, post: 76918, member: 2168"] [b]You Truly Gotta Hate The GM Order System! - 2015 Corvette Z06 On Order[/b] Sorry GM lovers...morning vent and it has been coming for some time. It wasn't bad enough the work that went into actually finding a Z06 allocation or the up and down process all become well accustomed to, but the newest process I am experiencing is absolute crap. With an original build date of 6 Apr, and at 3000, my order was set back to 11 May as a result of an unexpected (and apparently rare) supplier constraint of the Spectra rims. Having very tight GM contacts, I went through all the hoops to actually get the rims changed (after all they were nice enough to tell me that was the only hold up), and they tell me that the order cannot be changed, regardless. I would have to wait it out. So now, I have a 11 May build date and find out through some tight sources that, believe it or not, the Spectra RIMS are truly on a slow boat from China with an expected arrival date of 25 May. This means that the build will be pushed back again to at least 25 May with no opportunity of a change in rims. All the while, we are now experiencing what is called a CF production shortage and body color roofs are under constraint, along with CFV ground effects. These really shouldn't affect me (as I am at 3000 and apparently approved) but I just learned of someone on another site who is in the same predicament (at 3000) and was told he would have to change to a clear roof to have the order carry on.... YET WE CANNOT CHANGE AN ORDER!?!?!?!? Sorry to rant and congrats to those who are out of this horrid order cycle but GM needs to really get a grip. Absolutely unbelievable and, although it will no doubt make me appreciate my car much more in the end, right now I absolutely despise GM and all that it stands for. MY wife's Honduran Condo is soooo much closer right now. To think, the possibility that I may be told that, if I want my car, it will have to be made up of left over available parts (and not my choice allocation) is entirely possible. Lucky I never ordered in yellow as it is no longer available as well... yellow... Really? They call that a model year buildout which really means they never had enough for the orders at hand.
