Downside if you drive it hard and you were wrong about that being okay:reduced engine power, potential long term reliability issues.. Dowwnside if you break it in softly and it was actually unessissary: a little delayed gratification. Seems an easy choice to me.

> OP have you experience this slight whining noise when reving the engine while parked or when starting off from a stop? Say shifting from 1-3 and this would happen between 1400 to 2000 rpm? No, nothing like that, though the noise from the seat cooling briefly confused me when I got in the car...

- It’s very loud. I’m glad I went for the active exhaust, I don’t think I’d want the car without it. - It’s fun. It makes travel an event. It’s not just A -> B, it’s fun. - The fun tech, the digital dash, are all becoming the new normal for me quickly. Still glad I have it though. - The...

I have one, I can confirm it is Pirelli P Zero Nero A/S.

Well Duke, it was a long wait but my car has arrived and your script made that wait better. Despite all my obsessive cotus checking it was your script that delivered the news first for every cotus event. Thanks for making my 16 week wait tolerable.

The issue with the “Theft deterrent” has been resolved, the dealer took it off my invoice. The salesman sent me some pics. I pick it up on Sunday.

I am quite annoyed to report that my dealer added $300 for "Theft Protection" to my invoice despite me explicitly instructing him that I wanted no dealer installed options. I think I may say fuck it and buy some other GT off of someone else's lot. I'm willing to wait for months for the car I...

COTUS now says my car is delivered. I’ll be picking it up next Sunday.

New EDD: Jan 20 :doh:

For a week my EDD has been Jan 11. On Jan 9 COTUS was showing 0 days to go, and Jan 11. On Jan 10 my EDD vanished, as did the countdown. Today is Jan 11, I too sent an email and got a response within 5 minutes telling me my salesman is out for the day. I would be hopping up and down but I...

That’s pretty much what I did with my order. I emailed all my local dealers and said I’m buying a gt with these specific options and I’m shopping for a dealer. I got 4 replies. I only communicated in email, and the low price won (x plan + current incentives at delivery). This was back in...

It’s $2,000 in Austin!

My EDD was 1/10 when my car was in production, then 1/5 after a few days of waiting for transit, which I assume means they had then scheduled the cars movement. Then, about a week later as the weather turned cold it was moved to 1/9 and 72 hours later 1/11- which I assume is weather related...

My car just moved to “in transit” today but the EDD slipped back 4 days, so I’ll be out of country when it gets here. Bugger.

The owners manual says the A10 takes a few hundred miles to calibrate to your driving style, so the hunting people report on testers may in part be that. I can’t quote it exactly but to paraphrase ‘it will be a little wired at first’.

My car history is 2 Audi’s, a Porsche, 2 BMWs. I have an 18 GT on order. The German value proposition is low right now and blind badge loyalty is just foolish.

I also just got bumped up, from 1/11 to 1/5- Just in time for me to pick it up!

Hi, When I nogotiated my car on order the salesman noted that I’d get any current incentives from Ford at the time of delivery. I thought little of this as I was preordering a new model and didn’t expect anything. However, I just noticed for has an offer of $500 cash back on Premium GTs...

I just wanted to thank you again for writing this. I really appreciate it.

I disagree. I’ve lived in the Pacific Northwest almost a decade, our winter is about 3 months of 42 degrees and rain every day. That’s not the same as ice or snow, yet I can tell you from personal experience that summer only sport tires are much less effective then that video may lead you to...
