I found the following when searching around to get a better understanding of the ordering process. This was written for trucks but the same process applies to cars. It's a bit tedious reading but it definitely answered a lot of questions for me!
This is lengthy and was written about trucks, but...
Okay, WTF?
How long does it take the factory to release a late built dealer stock order car to shipping?
COTUS says 3-5 days. That's a bit optimistic.
If it doesn't get released by the factory to shipping in over 2 weeks, my guess is it's another QC hold issue, which surprises my for a 9-24-14...
FYI...when the Ford build and price no longer show a vehicle as "dealer ordered", it means it is now "in transit" to the dealer. I have verified this with 4 cars I've been watching.
Probably going to go with FRPP as soon as they come out with their performance pack which is a CAT back and a tune with full Ford Warranty. Had it on my '13. Sounded good and was good for 16 HP bump. Mufflers was actually GT500 (I cross checked the part numbers).
