Go from "Unscheduled-Clean" (not even a VIN), to "In Order Processing" to "In Production" to "Awaiting Shipment" to "In Transit" to "Delivered" in a week? Um, highly unlikely. I would email the text of that chat to your salesperson and ask them to verify what the Ford Performance rep claimed...

You can't. You have to use COTUS (and/or the Automatic COTUS Checker tool provided by a list member), call/text the folks at Ford Performance, or call your dealer. From what I've been seeing on this message board, It's been taking most folks (those that placed an order around or after the start...

Well, as one might expect (or maybe not...), modern automotive lubrication is a pretty complex subject (just try seeing how much of this https://cdn.intechopen.com/pdfs/51522.pdf you can get through before your head starts to hurt). But, assuming the higher viscosity oil actually helps, I...

It can be In Order Processing and not yet have a VIN, and then later proceed to have a VIN (and an EDD).

52 years. Loved the car since the day it was introduced in 1964. By the time I was old enough to need a car, Mustangs had fallen to a very low level (a rebodied Pinto). It took a very long time for the quality and design to reach a point that I was ready to buy. The S550 redesign finally made...

But you were asking about the poke (tires extending outward past the bodywork of the wheel well): wondering how he managed to put 325s on the car while you were barely able to fit 305s. That's all I was addressing when I said it was the 30 aspect ratio of the 325s that allowed them to fit...

It's your aspect ratio. The sidewall height of a tire is the section width times the aspect ratio. So your 305/35s have a sidewall height of 305 * .35 = 106.75mm. The 325/30s have a sidewall height of 325 * .30 = 97.5mm. So the radius of your tires is almost 3/8" greater than the 325/30s...

Well, you could get something like a BlackVue. Remote alarm notification, live viewing. Saves event video to the cloud. There's another one that gives you live audio to the dashcam so you can tell the scumbag that the cops have been called. My recommendation: make sure you get video both front...

Many thanks for the clarifications.

Just a note because I see you have the car up on jack stands that are underneath the frame rails. I saw a segment of a TV show - I believe it was a "Goss' Garage" segment on "Motorweek" - where it said that if you are putting your car up on jack stands or blocks to store it for an extended...

OK, then I guess I misinterpreted the following info from the Ford Performance Vehicle Tracking Web page (http://performance.ford.com/enthusiasts/quick-look/2017/08/vehicle-tracking-system.html): "... 1. UNSCHEDULED MATERIAL HOLD · The vehicle order has been uploaded into the...

Yes, but you just as easily could have hit a period like 2007-2009, where the equity markets were down 50%. The safest thing to do is to first build up your 6 month emergency fund in cash (or ladder 6 month CDs or treasuries to get a better return than the pitiful amounts that money markets...

Yeah, but some folks here have said that when they checked (via dealer or Ford Performance chat/call, giving their order # and dealer code) that their order was "unscheduled/clean". The "clean" portion of that is supposed to mean that there is no "material hold" on the order, yet it still took...

If you have a Hobby Lobby near you (https://www.hobbylobby.com/), they should have all manner of such fillings.

Huh. I based my input on a search performed on TireRack.com. I figured: If it's available, Tire Rack will have it. Wrong-O. Thanks for the info.

If you widen your search to 295/30-19 (which will fit fine on the PPL2 wheels), you can get "Performance Winter/Snow Tires" from both Dunlop and Pirelli. But, as far as a single "all-season" tire: I haven't seen one yet.

A couple other members of the forum have also had good luck with the Bridgestones an have recommended them. Another tire to consider is the Continental ExtremeContact Sport. They are offered in 305/30-19. As with the Bridgestones, the Michelins (MPS4S) are probably better overall than the...

From what I've been seeing here, it looks like most folks that have ordered on or after the beginning of June have gotten a VIN within 8-10 weeks. I'd contact your dealer to see what the holdup is. You can also try contacting Ford Performance to see if they have any info (although if your order...

I understand your frustration, but you're (hopefully) 90% of the way there. And if you read a lot of the posts here, you will very likely love it once you drive it. Now, another option is to see if you can find a car you like off another dealer's lot...
