Great news, that we have confirmation that the Z06 "ordering window" (consensus, DOSP*) will be open this Thursday!
Good luck to all in the running to get their Z06 7-speed manual trans coupe accepted.
D.O.S.P mean "dealer order submission process," and for those who haven't seen this (put together by "mjw930), here is what a Thursday through Tuesday DOSP involves. Thanks Mark.
DOSP (Dealer Order Submission Process) is the order cycle (most often weekly, but often not on new models, nor beginning of a new model year). On Thursday dealers can place orders for units allocated to them. Orders must be placed by 9PM Eastern Time Saturday.
The weekly process consists of 4 stages.
1. Constraints Distribution - Dealers are informed on constraints to review before placing orders.
2. Dealer Order Submission - Dealers can order on Thursday, Friday or no later than midnight on Saturday. (You can submit orders earlier but you don't know the contraints. A constraint is a limit placed on a specific build configuration.)
3. The 4-Pass Process - GM will attempt to place each dealers orders on Mondays using a 4-Pass process. (At this point a dealer may get more or less than was allocated if they asked.)
4. Dealer Review-You can review your placed orders for changes or replacements until Tuesday at 9pm ET. That's when the orders are sent for production.

GM moves orders from 1100 to 2000 on the Tuesday after the dealer is given that specific allocation. How quickly you move from A to B completely depends on the dealer's allocation. If the dealer had an allocation and also enough allocation for every specific constrained option when you placed the order, your order will move to at least status 2000, usually by the day after the DOSP closes. If the dealer was not yet assigned an allocation matching your order, you will continue to be at 1100 until he/she does. The length of time depends completely on allocations and your priority on that dealer's internal priority list. Of course constraints on an item that one is not willing to compromise on, also will mean remaining at status 1100.
