Did you get a vin and date yet?

The only car I was able to find at MSRP was my LS so I ended up jumping on it. However, like many of you, my car is still unscheduled despite being 2Q car and I have a sneaking suspicion that I won't see it until late summer. Track season is beginning and I have no car to drive and I'm absolutely going crazy waiting.

Should I start hunting for the car I originally wanted or just wait for the rarer, more sought after car?

I feel like I'm waiting simply because I know it was pure luck that I even found an LS allocation. I figure the resale will be higher and for how I will use it (weekends and HPDEs), it makes more sense but I really am in love with the Competition Orange and $4000 in cost difference buys a lot of track time.

I'm still not 100% but I'll let you know if I pass on my LS allocation. You're welcome to it.

Put R-comps on it and it almost certainly is so I didn't want to wait and am putting the extra 5k into race rubber, pads and track time. I'm not feeling any regrets at all, even though I initially thought I'd feel like I "settled".
