Some of the sold orders for the 2022 Chevy Camaro ZL1 1LE will be moved over to the 2023 model year as a result of supplier constraints, GM Authority has learned.
This change concerns units of the Camaro ZL1 ordered with the 1LE Extreme Track Performance Package (RPO code A1Z). This package adds $7,500 to the price of the Camaro, and includes the following content (relevant RPO codes in parentheses):
- Performance Suspension with DSSV dampers (FEA)
- Red brake calipers
- Satin Black hood wrap (DSM)
- Exposed Carbon Fiber weave hood insert (CFW)
- Exposed Carbon Fiber weave rear spoiler (T42)
- Low-gloss Black outside rearview mirrors
- Dark tail lamps
- Front dive planes
- Unique front splitter with lower DRL deleted
- 305/30R19 front and 325/30R19 rear, blackwall, summer-only tires (R60)
- 19-inch front and 19-inch rear low gloss Black-painted forged aluminum wheels (PKJ)
- Rear fixed seat (A62)
- Specific gear ratios when six-speed manual transmission is ordered
Specifically, the decision to postpone some Camaro ZL1 orders to the 2023 model year stems from the unavailability of the T42 exposed Carbon Fiber weave rear spoiler. As previously stated, this is due to a supplier constraint.
Back in August of last year, several features became unavailable or constrained on the 2022 Camaro at startup, including the aforementioned 1LE Extreme Track Performance Package. Currently, the Camaro is being built without the Rear Park Assist feature (RPO code UD7) until further notice. The Performance Data Recorder system (RPO code UQT) is also unavailable to order, thanks to the ongoing global microchip shortage, which experts say could continue well into 2022.
Production of the Chevy Camaro ZL1 for the 2023 model year is expected to begin on June 6th, 2022, as GM Authority exclusively reported back in November of last year. Hopefully, by that time, the supplier constraints will be sorted out, and customers with a pending order for a Camaro ZL1 will soon receive their vehicles.

Does this effect orders already accepted by GM or just orders accepted by dealers?
Call GM Ed!
Still no answers on the 2LT convertible we ordered back on September 1st, 2021
Got mine 2 weeks back love it but the salt has it in the garage waiting for a big rain to wash the roads.
When did you order? Ordered mine 8-6-21.
I ordered mine in September 2021 and recently learned it will now ne a 2023 model. Still no idea when I will see my Camaro.
Ordered ZL1 convertible in October still word.
Maybe be a 2023 instead??Canadian order.
We ordered our ZL1 convertible May 2021 and GM still hasn’t picked up our order. Canadian as well.
When can I place an order for a 2023 Camaro
Call GM Mike!
I belive its around June 6th
Gee what a surprise, GM at it’s finest! Might as well write off the 22’s and head straight to the 23’s on every model?
Folks Marry Barra is working hard behind the supply Issues let’s trust what she’s has done for the company and customers. 😎
I hope your joking?
Or wait for the EV version 😆 that might happen faster
Let’s see we need nickel from Russia and Batteries from China. While Biden talk in the basement about U.S. supplies. Will GM ever learn to stay in America. I’m sure everybody has money for an EV that get FALSE mileage per charge.
And now neon from Ukraine….
ordered a 22 1SS way back in the beginning of january, still hasn’t even been built yet or started to be built. Haven’t heard much to be honest.
Order 2021 carmaro 2ss still haven’t got it ordered first week of February
Ok, I will never miss it. The car is not in tune with the times anyway. Economy is in folks. That’s all…
Anybody have any suggestions how to find out anything about my ’22 3LT convertible order I placed on August 5th, ’21? I have an order number; dealer been saying Its “in production” since October. Anyone have a name, or phone number to call where I can find out something??? I don’t know what else to do but keep pestering dealer… ’bout ready to give up! Any help appreciated.
You won’t have one till next year I ordered 2ss Jan 21 still nothing
Camaro6 website can find info. Got to have order# or Vin#.
Whats your order number or status at?
Same here….Ordered a 2022 RS 2LT Convertible Set. 1st 2021 !!!!! Absolutely no answers. 😡
You won’t have one till next year I ordered 2ss Jan 21 still nothing
I ordered my 2022 2lt six cylinder convertible in late June; no word on any dealer allocation yet. Just promises to look into it and never hearing back from the dealer. At this point I will demand my deposit back if they are unable to produce the car and finally admit it’s never coming. I assume after June 6 no more 2022s will be produced.
My dealer called today.
Wild Cherry not available. (The only color I really loved)
Zl1 1lE is ‘constrained’ for ordering.
I changed the color and he resubmitted. He then said in a few days he can confirm the order was accepted.
What time frame am I looking at for delivery?
Hi SwissMarc,
I agree, Wild Cherry is a great color. I had a z51 Corvette that was painted that color.
It got a lot of looks.
I wish I had a answer for your question but GM is keeping a lid on any information.
Good luck.
Funny enough I ordered a 22 Zl1 at end of oct never got accepted stayed at 1100 status which means it wasn’t matched with an allocation nor accepted from gm it just simply means the order was submitted. So now I gotta re order in June for a 23 and satin steel was discontinued aswell as the cherry and gotta re pick a color. Its crazy
Well, I guess I might as well pile on.
I originally was going to order a ’21 2SS. This was June 6th 2021 but salesman talked me into waiting for a 2022. I am still waiting ten plus months later. I was told by the dealership that if they didn’t hear from GM about my ’22 by April 6th it would most likely be rolled over to a 2023. Supposedly, on April 6th orders can be taken for 2023’s. I wouldn’t hold my breath.
I don’t even have a allocation number yet.
I feel your frustration guys.
I’m ok with my order of a 22 convertible back on August being changed to a 2023 in April. I would just like ANY kind of acknowledgement of an actual order and projected build date.
Gents, if the above info is correct with a 2023 model order date opening in a week or two, does that mean the website also is updated? How does that normally work? I’d be curious to see if there will be new colors or options.
Fwiw my dealer (great guy) has kept my order from last week in play and will order a 2023 when that window opens.
Ordered on September 2021 got it last week April 5 2022. The things that are missing is back up Monitor in PDR system. It’s a zl1 1le manual. And they were having problems with the paint cherry tint coat red.
I ordered a Zl1 1le 3/2/2021
Still hasn’t been built.
Doubt I’ll ever see it
Good luck to anyone who has ordered one
Still sitting at 1100
Trying to order ZL1 conv dealer says can’t get it in. Is gm taking orders??
order placed for a 2022 Zl1 1LE and paid deposit on March 23. Salesman called April 14th and said needed to switch build to a 2023. GM accepted build April 15th. Estimated delivery is Nov 15th. currently no image of 2023 and no pricing. (this is disturbing)
I finally said, “enough is enough”. After waiting for a year and not given a allocation number, I canceled my order. I originally ordered a 2021 2SS. Dealer soon changed it to a 2022 months ago. Then recently was changed to a 2023. When asked what options or changes the 2023 offered, the dealership didn’t have a answer. Then I asked “how much longer will I have to wait”?Again, no answer. Like Chris, no pictures, no pricing, no help. The bright side is, I saved myself 60k plus. 🙂
Ordered my 2022 2ss convertible camero in November of 2021. The dealer says it was accepted but still no allocation. Production of 2023 starts tomorrow? Where’s my car ?
2023 production moved out to June 17
