I guess now I understand why everybody keeps talking about how much Ford needs to fix their shit ordering/build scheduling process...

It took 2 months to go from Unscheduled-Clean to Scheduled? wtf? Can anybody else with experience confirm is this is normal? My order was supposedly pulled on Thursday, so I hope things go a bit quicker than that...

Ehhh, while the Fiesta ST certainly is highly regarded across several markets, it and the Focus are pretty far from "taking over" the hot hatch market. It just seems that way because they're basically the only ones we get in the US other than the GTI. The overseas offerings from Peugeot...

Still waiting for mine to be built, but I'm 26.

My understanding is that it's actually the opposite. LiPo batteries or small AGM batteries work well in applications where the car is frequently driven, consistently charging the battery, but you can run into issues with parasitic draw when the car sits for an extended period of time (more than...

Plastidip, perhaps?

Nah, I decided to wait for the M2 CSL/GTS to come out, then re-consider hopping back into a BMW. For now I'm just waiting for the dealer that promised me MSRP to get their allocation. I figure driving a GT350 for a few years while waiting for the M2 CSL and Mk V Supra to come out shouldn't be...

Except, you know, the Ford website... where it's listed as a Mustang variant/trim level. Honestly, I kinda get where you're coming from, but it's still extremely pedantic.

The seats are actually fairly subjective, based on body type. I personally find the Recaros more comfortable; I'm actually a bit too skinny for the tech pack seats, so I find the bolsters lacking in support. I DO wish that the Recaros had active ventilation, however...

The weight of the car probably isn't helping; most of the other cars with Cup2s from the factory (that I can think of off the top of my head) are several hundred pounds lighter than the GT350, so the tires probably last a big longer. There's also a big V8 loading down the fronts, as compared to...

I'm not sure what would bother me more: the paint defect, or the fact that the body line doesn't match up...

If you don't mind, could you send me the info on the one you found in Ohio? That's relatively local to me...

I was okay with it... until I saw the pictures from the side.

Must be nice to be able to buy whatever you want with money stolen from your customers...

I apologize for snapping at you; I'm just salty as hell over this bullshit after contacting 50+ dealers and not being able to find a single allocation at MSRP. It absolutely baffles me how I am unable to purchase a vehicle with a planned production run of over 10,000 units at the manufacturer's...

We get it, you work for a dealer and are upset that people are continuously calling out the scummy business tactics of you and your peers.

You and me both...

I appreciate the offer, but I'm really only interested in a 2017 so I can get the electronics pack. The optioning situation with the 2016s is really unfortunate, as it seems like there are enough sitting around out there now that it wouldn't be too difficult to negotiate an MSRP deal...

The latter... kinda. They currently don't have any allocations, but for MY2016, they ended up getting several "leftover" allocations that allowed for 2 customer-ordered cars sitting in the system to be built. I'm apparently 3rd in line to see if the same ends up happening for MY2017. I'm not...

Whelp, just found out today that my "hopeful" order is actually 3rd in line, so my chances just went from bad to worse. Who would've thought that it could be so difficult to spend $60k?
