Earl more than fills the vacuum of information my dealer provided on my order. He relieved a LOT of angst in waiting. Heās a selfless member of the community and cannot be recognized enough. Thanks Snoop!
I thought you might all enjoy the social media post my PPE installer posted a couple of months ago. Nothing like some GT500 eye-candy to bring a smile to a face. I only wish I had a high-res version of the videoā¦..

Iām coming up on 8 weeks of taking delivery of my GT 500. I received my owners goody box about 4 weeks in m, but havenāt seen anything on registering for a Track Attack session. Do I need to reach out to Ford Performance to get an invite?
Thanks all for the insight. I donāt have an issue paying a dealer to do the work If thatās what was supposed to happen. Some communications from my dealer before hand would have been useful.
As much as Iād like to take a crack at the install myself, without a lift I suspect it would be a...
Thanks all! I get it all done at a closer dealer to me. I have no access to a lift and donāt have any experience with doing my own work. Best for me to leave to the pros.
Yep, Iām referring to the front splitter. Iāll reach out to Ford Performance and get proof that it should have been installed. I am on the fence about making the hour drive to go back there when they are so clueless that this should have been done. Not sure I really want them messing around...
I had my BIG day yesterday and took delivery of my GT500! Itās been quite a journey to get to this point, but incredibly worth it. My order went in on 1/12 and weāre just over six month to taking delivery. The toughest part of the wait was seeing my car being fully built in mid-April and just...
My delivery date was pushed out on the Ford tracking site from 5/10 to 5/25. This is despite my car being shipped on 4/22. Iām calling BS on the tracking site estimates. I canāt imagine any reason for my car to sit on a rail car for over a month. I hope Iām not being overly optimistic, but this...
Thanks all! This is great info. At the prices being discussed, it really is a no brainer. Especially considering how much Iāll be spending on PPF.
I appreciate the info of Flood Ford. That will give me a solid alternative and some negotiating leverage for the dreaded visit to the finance...
How many of yāall are purchasing the extended warranties on their GT500s? Iām inclined not to purchase as it will be a low mileage car for me, but Iām a bit concerned with future repair costs given all the engineering thatās in this car.
WooHooo and Congrats Fishpick! Super excited for you.
Our cars are just a couple of days apart coming out of the factory. What was your delivery ETA to your dealer? Iām currently at 21 days and hoping Iāll be sooner.
Well this is pretty troubling. Iām on day eight of being āin productionā. I checked today and looked like I had hit ābuiltā. Just to be sure, I refreshed the page and I went back to āin productionā. I thought I had imagined the whole thing but I am now not so sure. Crazy system and pretty...
Woot Woot! My car originally scheduled for production for the week of 4/5 just hit Production! So awesome to see them ahead of schedule.
Does anyone know if Ford ships via rail or truck when delivering to upstate New York?
Wow, I didnāt realize there may be a wait for PPF/ceramic. I better check in with the shops around me.
Iām trying to time the sale of my 94 Cobra before my car arrives. I have a build week of 4/5, but nothing further yet. Iām not too hopeful of getting much of a heads-up and Iām past due...
