Unhappy Mid-Atlantic people, no Track models?

Well, it's quite obvious how frustrated I am with my missing Z. I continue to see more and more VINs every day MUCH higher than mine (some over a 1000 higher than mine) pop up on dealer inventories in the Mid-Atlantic (especially the DC area). However, I have noticed one thing... none of them are Track models. Anyone else have insight on this?

I believe there's a Track at Eliz. City, NC (or will be delivered tomorrow) It's sold

Well, the dealers don't know anything more than we do... Fact is that NoVA dealers were told that they were guaranteed delivery before the end of Sept. I suppose that the Track models were the last to be delivered (bastards!)

I just searched all dealers in a 100 mile radius of DC, and NO dealers have any track models... Why is the Mid-Atlantic getting screwed?

I spoke with my dealership's (Carmax - Whitemarsh, MD) sales manager last night...she mentioned that they don't expect any of their pre-ordered track models until October. Mine on the other hand is expected today

Andrew, I hope you do get yours today, but I didn't see any on the inventory list. According to ZISME, VINs are released once the ship leaves port... I received my VIN a month ago...

I've had a VIN since August 15th (may have been assigned earlier but that's when I contacted the dealer). I suspect the reason that we are seeing so few track models is simply because they only account for 8% of the cars ordered and because the total number of cars delivered in the Mid Atlantic area has been very small. It's this last factor that I still can't figure out.

Well, it seems that you and I both are in the same situation. I would have thought that our Track Z's would arrive before ones in the midwest and central Canada... Hell, I almost ordered from a dealer in Kansas to avoid the market adjustment scare... maybe I should have, as I'd probably have my car now...
