Purchasing GT or Mach 1 this weekend!

[Mspider]

Drove a 10AT today but just want to experience the V8 with a standard.


That's the next decision to be made but just comes down to flights, timing and availability. I shared the cost because it is a factor in the event I can't get away. We are approaching Holidays and I have a 3 and a 5 year old that also demand my attention. Part of it is putting 500 miles on tires I'll be trying to sell.

You could also trailer it home with your truck. That`s what I will be doing when my 2023 is ready for pickup. I just don`t want to deal with shipping company and problems that could happen.

For the money listed, I would get the Mach. The Tremec is a great transmission and the additional coolers are nice as well.
A few other items are the chassis specific number, the Track Atack, and owners kit( if that’s of any relevance)
Either way they both are great cars, and should put a smile on your face. Good
Luck!

The Track Attack is worth $1700, what it cost for the second day at the driving school first day free. Plus you get to drive your same car and abuse it like you (me) never would on the street! Rev match, no lift shifting and launch control are all demonstrated in the Mach. Great fun!

I think I've settled on driving it home. Going to get new tires put on, pack up the Cup2s, wrap it in track tape, visit some friends and head home! Don't want to deal with anxiety of the shipping companies and this gets it safely in my garage faster.

No, I agree. You will have plenty of time to enjoy your new car on the magnificent roads of NH. Buy the way are you planning to putting PPF on at least the front clip? I would highly recommend it.

Had my front bumper and hood done with PPF. Debugging after trip to Charlotte (for Trackattact) found 2 chips in the PPF. Did not chip the paint. My windshield already took a rock too. 3500 miles, roads really suck anymore!

I did get a quote for it from the same person doing ceramic. Was quoted about 1500 for ceramic including the clay bar/paint correction stuff from anything remaining from the rail car trip. Quoted another ~$1,500 to do PPF which was front and some of the quarter panels if I recall correctly. But, will discuss with him when I get the vehicle into his shop more.

I spent over $3000 for both. Also paid to pull wheels to coat the total rim and brake caliper. Brake dust comes off with a garden hose.

If you are doing the second day. Its even more fun than the first with 2 sessions solo, passing allowed! Get the upgrade tires, alot more grip saved my ass several times. I still managed to get sideways and run off the track . lol

I got mine 4% under invoice from them, so they hope the orders that get left behind they ll score big.

I paid -5% below MSRP in April. You dont know what the dealer paid the Motor Company they showed me a printed "invoice" that could have been anything they wanted to show me. You dont know if they paid MSRP, remember the destination and delivery charge are in there too. I did pay $700 for dealer installed lojack. MSRP was $58,740, I paid $55,999. BTW they did have a dealer sticker with +$5,000 charge for "Market Adjustment" lol

I ordered mine so I know the invoice price, according to Ford (-%4 after that), no add ons, no market adjustment. Did they get any other incentives, Don t know, don t care....almost 5K off MSRP if I remember, but a 7 month wait!!

sorry for the last post I responded to. don t want to derail the Oper s original thoughts. Great color, you ll love it, chapman was pretty easy as I had most paperwork done before I arrived. They even sent a car to my hotel to get me. Post it up when you get it home!!!

Well, that is a better deal. Even more so if invoice price does not include destination and delivery $1200. Mine was sitting on the showroom floor, drove it home. However no chance to change my mind. lol My wifes Lincoln took 4 months I thought that was long.
