Well, as some of you know, my order got cancelled, so I ended up buying a Camaro 2SS 1LE. I went into TireRack.com and shopped for tires based on the make, model, trim, and year, and BAM! Continental and Michelin Ultra-High Performance All Season tires came right up ;-) So much easier!

No. I did not have a VIN. Just got the order confirmation email, then nothing for a month, then the cancellation notice. Yes... You are correct... The Camaro is something of a man cave. I had one in the past, and got used to it. Just need to max the seat height and stretch the neck ;-)

Yes sir. 700A, HP. I dreamed too big, and was subsequently crushed :-/

I have been 'chip-shortaged', to coin a new verb. Got word today that my order has been cancelled. In my case, rather than queueing up a 2022 order, I decided to pull the trigger on my runner up, a Camaro 2SS 1LE, which is actually more performant than the Mach 1, though the driving dynamics are...

I wonder if my 9 day head start will make a difference ;-) It's like the Olympics over here. Who knows, perhaps milliseconds make a difference, in terms of reserving parts!

WOW. I ordered an HP on 08/10 and I fully expect to have my order dropped as well. Would I have bought a non-HP model if I had known about this supply chain SNAFU? I am not sure.

Thanks for that. My primary goal is use a single set of tires that perform well in the summer and winter, with no expectation of driving it in the snow, as well as no expectation of track testing it. This car won't be my daily driver, especially in NJ, but I would hate to garage it for the...

Yep. So 275, 285 should be perfect for 10.5, 11.0. I wonder why they call out 40mm profile specifically? I was looking at 35mm.

Thanks! You don't think the 40s would cause a rubbing issue? Also, yes, I was also thinking about squaring off the configuration, because it would actually improve handling in some ways, but I really like that staggered look.

Yes sir. Both Ford Performance and American Muscle positively confirmed that the 255mm, 275mm tire recommendation was for the HP package with the 10.5", 11" wheels. I figure that going wider can't hurt. As for the 305 Cooper tires that someone mentioned, those tires got pretty bad reviews on...

Yes sir. I think that is why the Ford Performance folks recommend 255/40R19 and 275/40R19, i.e. the 40mm profile enables a bit of stretch to the wider rims. I am opting for a wider-then-recommended tire with a less than recommend profile to try and split the difference. Somehow, Ford seems to...

Love this thread. I bought the handling package primarily for the wheels and handling upgrades, but I have no plans to take it to the track nor max it out on the street, so the factory tires themselves hold no allure for me. As I have no interest in preserving the factory tires, I also have no...

Wow. So. I’ve seen other posts referencing post-March order dates where the car has already been built or shipped. What possible explanation can there be for that? Seems wrong relative to the folks that already have orders in the queue.

I know, right? I ordered mine on 08/10 and, after cruising this thread, fully expect to have to switch to (i.e. re-order) a 2022 :-/

Nice! Thanks for that. I am already locked into the Mach 1, assuming that Ford can actually fulfill my order, but, to your point, I feel a lot better about the decision now ;-)

Agree. Ford filled a GT350 gap with a less than GT350 car for a GT350 (ish) price. It is just another betrayal by Ford. Leaving that aside and dealing with the present, I feel like the choices for someone who wants a manual transmission are: spend $5k more to get a ZL1, spend $10k less and get a...

They need to switch to a streaming model :cool:

This is a fascinating thread, primarily because it tries to objectify subjective things ;-) I mean, if we were all looking for speed, we would just buy a Tesla and be done with it. But we are not. We are looking for the experience. I personally do not really care if the Mach 1 is slower than the...

Yeah. I thought I might in the bubble of the 2021 to 2022 cutover. At this point, a 2022 model make more sense anyway. Thanks man!
