For sure it can change, a good example is last week when CT4 BW jumped to 20%, that's a pretty significant boost. Even the *very* small dealer I'm connected with got an allocation. I think we're gonna see waves like this going forward. Obviously GM wants to make and sell these cars, they make...

Good point... I got my reds mixed up! Garnet isn't even an option on the V models... redmoved that from the list of constraints. And yes, no constraints on Infrared.

Sorry guys! Was out of town and just got back this afternoon. Constraints have been updated. Looks like percentages slid back slightly for both models for production the week of Jan 31. There's also a new constraint on the Garnet paint color.

Yep, I see the Y26 code on 0% constraint for the V but not the V Blackwing. Might want to have your dealer double check that.

This is correct. A CT5 allocation is a CT5 allocation, from the 2.0L all the way up to the BW. It doesn't matter what trim or options you have on your car in your preliminary order. In your case, there's three levels to this... your dealer 1) has to receive a CT5 allocation, 2) has to receive...

Matt said on a recent podcast that he's been trying to get them both, but they're all booked, he blames Jonny Lieberman and Motor Trend. I'd imagine they'll be driving them soon. My guess is that they're low on the list because he (deservedly) shat all over the CT5-V AWD with all season tires...

Constraint updates! Some good improvements on the CT4 side for late January production, looks like things will truly start to ramp up with 20% of CT4 allocations going to Blackwings. Alas, no change on CT5 from 2 weeks ago. Allocations for the last week of December production given today were...

Thanks! I bought the ND2 earlier this year planned to make it a dedicated track car. You hit the nail on the head with my previous history of high HP cars. On track, as amazing as it was in corners, I couldn't get over the lack of power coming out onto long straights (think turn 11 at Laguna...

Here's my current and a few of my past! (Working for a dealership group is dangerous.) Current: 2018 BMW 440i Past: 2017 ATS-V, 2021 MX-5 Club, 2020 Veloster N, 2018 S4, 2017 Camaro SS 1LE

I had a sunroof in my ATS-V, and lost an inch or two for sure. That was the main reason I didn't order it on my CT4 this time around.

Good news on that front, just shared here: Heated Steering Wheel Situation - Doesn't Affect Blackwings Also, the fleet order guide is a great reference, but it doesn't contain info on constraints. Those are public facing docs that show available standard and optional features down to the...

I took a look at the latest CT4-V and CT5-V Blackwing order guides that were posted last week with updates regarding the heated steering wheel situation, and it looks like the Blackwing models will not be affected. The new option code 00G "Not Equipped with Heated Steering Wheel" is only...

I guess we're not getting constraints or allocations this week. Checked again and nothing is posted... so my prediction from last week of zero allocations (for production Christmas week) so far is true. If it holds, next week (for production New Years week) will be the same, zero allocations...

Just checked for a new constraint report and it looks like they didn't publish one today because of the holiday. I'll check again tomorrow.

Updates for today! Some improvements on the horizon, but very few allocations were given this week for mid-December production (single digits). The next two weeks will likely see no allocations given for production in the 3rd and 4th weeks of December (which correspond to the 2 weeks of 0%...

BOTH Blackwings just grabbed 2 of the 10 spots in Car and Driver's 10Best. https://www.caranddriver.com/features/a38254154/10best-2022/

I had POWWAAH on my ATS-V (as seen in my avatar image)--Jeremy Clarkson's signature line. After I returned the lease, I stuck the plate on my Miata where it was certainly ironic, but I plan on transferring it over to the Blackwing whenever it arrives.

There's that electric blue/natural tan CT5 that's been floating around SoCal. Jonny Lieberman had it last week (they talked about it on Spike's Car Radio), and I believe it was the same car that was in Jason Cammisa's video.

Nope, the whole point of "1100" is that it stays in that status until an allocation is available. If they were to be cancelled based on constraints, then for the past two weeks, everyone in that status would've been cancelled because both BW models were on 0% constraints.

Sure thing. Constraints have no effect on your order once you have an allocation, so if you're past 1100 status, no need to worry about this stuff!
