Bit more power is well and good but that is simply a by-product of technology advancement. I do not judge that as an extra per se - its a nice bonus though don't get me wrong.
If people look at power bump as an $$ worthy extra then you could judge a new design as an extra when its not - its...
I'll go against the forum grain and state that the two extras, digi dash and the exhaust, can't really be judged as 5.5K more over a RRP for a MY17.
62K for a stocky MY18 drive-away will be what I'd suspect skilled negotiators would be paying.
Current cycle, MY2016 car, deliveries are just rolling on from Dec to Aug/Sept. 31 March was just a BS date Ford nominated.
I believe next order cycle will involve MY2017 cars, so I can't see deliveries between Sept and Dec.
Test drove both the STI and the SSV. Didn't like either one,just didn't have that crazy rush of power. I might just buy a new Kwaka H2, supercharged sportsbike beast, something to entertain myself while I wait.
I'm already fed up, this winter is killing me, having no car. No idea really, if I'll wait that long. Depends what other new cars get launched over the next 12 mths.
I just watched a few GT350 videos...............BIG mistake.
With all these delays for the regular GT I'm really thinking just keeping my powder dry for the eventual, hopefully hopefully, RHD GT350. 2017ish I'm thinking is possible, please Ford bring it down under.
There must be an issue with some sub component delivery if this is happening. Maybe engine making plants are struggling. I wouldn't think making 10,000 cars for EU, UK, us and Japs /Chinese/Russians is that much of an ask for the assembly plant
Ordered in April and was originally advised delivery Q2 2016. If this gets pushed to August/Sept 2016 I'll probably be forced to buy something in the meantime. There is sweet FA chance me being without a car for two winters in a row.
On all those US exhaust images the connecting mid pipe looks symmetrical, left to right, so even if the mirror image it I can't see it affecting the connection point. UK owners will check it for us soon.
