Reading the press release I get the distinct feeling Ford has taken a page out of the Porsche playbook. Differential cooler and track pack are optional. Leather seats and touch screen, optional. So for ~$60k you don't get the stuff that's standard in a GT premium. Of course the old-school...
Howdy from Montgomery. Ordered mine from my hometown dealer Paul Murrey Ford in Kaufman (east of Dallas). Love dealing with them, and I highly recommend them. Now I'm just waiting for my vert to be built.

The requirement of a deposit is a dealership decision. I placed my order with no deposit, but I've ordered several from them in the past. Now that I think about it, when I ordered my first GT vert back in 1999 they didn't ask for a deposit back then either.
Ordered mine Nov 1st. Build date is anticipated to be the week of Dec 8th. I'm hopeful to have it for Christmas. My dealer ordered it "retail" with "priority 10" if that makes a difference to anyone.
That said if you order now I would expect January at the earliest due to Christmas break...
"Active anti-theft" showed up on my order as a no-charge item. I did not order the enhanced security package but it looks like at least a portion of it is now free on convertibles as "wheel locking kit" is listed as well ($0).
I won't know for sure until it arrives, but my estimated build date is the week of Dec 8th. Will let you know, a locking center console would make it safer to park with the top down.
Placed my order on November 1st. Now the waiting game begins.

Placed my order on November 1st for a GT Premium convertible. Should I be able to see it in COTUS already? How long should it take for my order to show up on the COTUS web site?
