Is it too late to change I have a Ruby Red 350 on order with a black roof, convenience package and no stripe. I have a VIN and a date to be built sometime in the week of 9/19. Two questions, is it too late to add stripes?? Still unsure about this? Of those that have RR cars, how many...

Wow... a dealer and rep that did what the promised. I cancelled an order with a dealer across the country because the never got back to me with an estimated quarter that the car would be built. My local dealer had an allocation but would not take an order until he had the ok from the rep. I...

An autocross event sounds great and I would encourage that. I would also suggest that it is a different exercise running on a road course track. You will not be pressured, in fact, you will be shown how to safely point faster drivers around you. Remember that since people are grouped with the...

The clubs that I mentioned all work pretty much the same way. The exception might be COM. Attendees are assigned to run groups based on their experience, such as novice 0 - a small number of HPDEs), intermediate and advanced. Usually there is a run group for the instructors to give them some...

I forgot to add one more to my list of local clubs. If my memory is correct, COM, corvettes of Massachusetts also used to do a number of days at NHIS. I just went to their home page and it looks like they now have an event at Watkins Glen as well.

Hi I instructed for the BMW CCA, Ferrari and other clubs around here for many years. If you want to have a bunch of track days the NJ Chapter used to have a lot of days at Lime Rock in CT. which is a small but fun track. The Genesee Chapter of the BMW CCA used to run lots of weekend track days...

What I have learned to this point that is relevant to this comes mostly from small to mid-size dealers. Larger dealers may be different. All of the small dealers that I have been in contact with have said they were promised one 350. Having an allocation of 1 says nothing about when the...

2017 350 Allocation 2.5k ADM This thread did not exist when I posted in another topic. In short. I have had a deposit on a 2017 allocation with 2.5K ADM. My local dealer has a commitment from his rep that we can get one built in Sept/October. So I put a deposit down on that. If any one...

GT350 Slot Available I have had a deposit with a dealer for a couple of months with 2.5K ADM. They still have not gotten back to me with when they think they will be allowed by the district rep to have the order pulled for production. In the mean time my local dealer has a confirmed build spot...

Just to add to this a bit. Someone mentioned good brake pads. I may be a bit out of date but track pads can really help here in terms of avoiding brake problems (on and off the track). The trade off generally is more noise which does not matter on the track, but can be annoying on the street...

This is too late to help if what you have are warped rotors, but for the future, I used to tell students when i was instructing to stay off the brakes (or use them very lightly) the last lap, to let things cool down. I don't know the configuration of the emergency brake on this car (still...

While I have a GT350 (non R) on order - exactly the same color combo as yours - no stripe, I agree with the no AC, etc option. For a track car, weight is the enemy. I bought a new M3 Lightweight, one of about 85 brought into the U.S. in 1995 and it did not have AC - it did not even have a radio...

Thanks for this. My guess - perhaps wishful thinking - is that someone at ford must say build so many of this or so many of these during some period of time to optimize efficiency. That does not mean that folks like me on UMH, will see anything, especially if the order has been placed but the...

I don't know what this means. Does it mean something like Ford corporate said build a big batch of gt350's?

I just checked. I have the documentation that acknowledged the agreed price and receipt of the deposit. It did not say not refundable. So, if I decide to cancel I will ask for it back.

I put $500 down and feel like I am in a similar state. I suspect they would want to keep my deposit as well. The sales person told me it was not refundable after they took the money. A local dealer has said that over the next week or two they will be going to a 'wholesale' and will be told...

I had thought about doing something like this myself but I decided to pull the trigger when I came across a chance to order one the way I wanted with $2500 ADM. It is still on unscheduled material hold and I don't know when it will be produced. I don't think anyone here knows, but I have...

Thanks for the info, one of the reasons I opted not to get stripes was a concern for maintenance. I have not heard of Prima Hydro, so i will check it out. I have used Griot's products a lot and find them a good middle ground between silly expensive products an basic low-price ones.

Beautiful, exactly what I ordered. RR with Black roof and no stripes. I got the convenience package. What did you use for wax, looks good in the picture. Also did you let the dealer do the prep?

Thanks very much. I don't have a VIN yet. I asked the question because I will have to keep at my dealer and calling ford performance to find out my status. The dealer is not really interested and has not returned my call. I think the only way I will find out is by calling ford performance...
