2020 GT500's Scheduled For Production - Part 1

[Jmeo]

You guys looking to modify it, or keeping it stock, powerwise?

I have no plans either way at this point, besides throwing it on my lift and staring at its undercarriage

Why, what are you thinking?

I have noticed that on cars shipped by truck (convoy). Fkranger (1074) car was just delivered by truck and "20" was in "transitDate". I have no idea what it means.

My car got an "18" on 11/19 and its been the same since. I believe its a "supposed to be" number, and had proven unreliable.

JUST RECEIVED A CALL FROM MY DEALERSHIP...

GSM called Detroit to determine the status of my and another GT500 order. He was told that they would not ship until February/March of 2020. Ford would not say why but this is consistent with the October Produced/In Production CFTP vehicles. None have gone to Penske as none have been released by the FRAP. Our guess is that it has something to do with one or more issues with the CF Wheels, CF Splitter, CF Wing, Sport Cup2 tires and/or chassis strength due to the Rear Seat Delete. Who knows at this point? Calibration updates have been completed and all other aspects of the car is otherwise same as the Base model.

To bad for the other Shelby ordered at it has a pre-paid appointment for a wide-body upgrade in early January. Ford asked for my phone number to personally call me with an apology. Frustrated by the inconsistent message as received from Ford Performance.

I will wait and discontinue posting potential misinformation as I am getting significantly different messaging from all levels at Ford. A higher level of patience is in order for this incredible car. Will appreciate it that much more...

Frustrated, but still happy to be in the game!!!

I can not blame your frustration. This just keeps getting crazier. I wish you the best, and to prove the man wrong

My date changed yesterday on the very bottom it now says 12/2/19 so hoping my car is about to be released!

If your last status update was produced, then I bet you will see a change to received, awaiting shipping.

Looks like that date change might hold some truth after all!!!

I firmly believe it does, it proved so for me..... and now you.

Again, this is for cars that do NOT need the quality update/October/Early November builds.

I noticed the data dump website still shows "produced" but I assume maybe it just hasn't updated yet.

It will take 24-ish hours for it to update.

Sometimes you just can't beat a motivated member

But the babies got to dance.

If the problem is sourcing carbon fiber parts, then wouldn't there be issues with the GT350R too? Any news on that? I know they are two different cars, but are there issues there too?

I just noticed my window sticker says "CONVOY" im guess that means it wont go on a train, and the whole trip will be by truck?

So much for trying to stay ahead of @SNOOPY, the guy is always a step ahead of the tracking system I'm trying to use... I have no doubt that he was a spy in a previous life!

Thanks again for all you do to keep us in the know!
