Spoke with Noah @ FP (first call). Asked about my base GT500 vin#0578 that's been in limbo since 10/28. He tells me its waiting on the vinyl stripes and might get finished in 1-2 weeks. ??? I asked how other cars that were finished and shipped in November got thru faster. He couldn't answer that. I am just guessing, but if it really is stripes, it could be the stripes were not well done the first time and now the car waits to get back in line for the mod shop. (Noah did say that mod shop was the next step for the car).

Grats to those shipping and received - those of use still waiting are looking forward to your pictures and reviews.

Friends & Family are more important than cars, so I will try to keep all this in focus. Merry Christmas!

Awesome!!
Curious about how its produced, but still needs/needed OTP stripes from mod shop..
When the car rolls off the assembly line, it's status changes to Produced. If it requires further mods (vinyl stripes, CF wheels, CF wing) it goes to the Mod Shop. After the Mod Shop, if it gets painted stripes it is sent to Penske. Once it is considered built, the status changes to Released Awaiting Shipment.

The cars built in Oct required additional updates that are time consuming, before they go to the Mod Shop. If the car requires Painted stripes, it is sent to Penske after the Mod Shop (CFTP), Base cars with painted stripes also go to Penske.

The cars built in Nov had all the updates incorporated on the assembly line, so the only additional time was for stripes.

I wonder how chassis number is determined?
It means that Wayne's was the 233rd 2020 Production GT500 to roll off the assembly line.
