Just in time to begin the modding before getting out of town.
Hope the roller coaster ride was not too anxiety provoking.

Cool. I did not know RS orders could be accepted. Please keep s updated as your order progresses.

Now did they just write it down awaiting the time the system would accept it, or was the order accepted?
If it was accepted they would give you an offcial printout with an order confirmation number.

Some dealers will not give you the print out but all can give you the six character alphanumeric order number once the order is entered. My standard when ordering is the dealer gets a deposit when I get the order number.
An order can be entered anytime IF the computer is allowed to accept it. When the computer was allowed to accept ZL1 orders on a Saturday, four or five hundred orders of the ZL1 suddenly had order numbers. Talk about pent up demand!
But I can not emphasize how important it is to get that order number. Of course that is just the beginning of a e-ticket ride for adults with all the ups and downs that implies.
Enjoy the trip. At the end I know you will agree it was worth it!
And if you follow this or similar threads, do not be surprised if you know more about the retail order process than your dealer. I firmly believe there are not many more than a dozen or two dealers comfortable with it and I would not be surprised to learn there may yet be dealers who have never done a retail sold order.

It was worth the LONG wait. I am so glad I held out for the white hatch. This is my first turbo. It really is a stunter when the t/c is off and WOT is on.
Build thread coming soon.

Sounds like the RS Sonic was built on the GM Autobook, which is a several page document and in one version the salesperson checks off the selected options on the computer. There is another step that needs to be done, but can not be done until the GM computer will accept, and that step generates the Order # and that Order # is printed on the GM Order Workbench, a two page document.
Please keep us updated.

Figured out the RS Sonic was built on the GM GlobalConnect, which includes pricing (the Autobook does not for preorders), so I am wondering why the person in charge of orders did not go ahead and generate the Order #.
A possible answer is there is no allocation for the RS so no Order # can be generated.

Let's hope mine is dropped off early on. It can't take that long from Michigan to Minnesota.

I have pricing for the RS. If you can't locate the post, PM me and I'll send you numbers.

Cool! What is your status now? Seems you were looking at a Aug 20 TPW.

I didn't get a gmcconnects update, but Vanessa was nice enough to look in on mine and my date is the 20th.
Pretty crazy, I ordered the afternoon of June 16, Sonic must be popular this year.

3400 and still looking at August 20th as the TPW. So far still on schedule. Getting excited, but not too excited until I see it with own eyes.

I think jennie421 ordered the first day she could and yours was a couple of days later; I am also thinking she went through one of the smaller dealers.
