I like how when talking about the front splitter, jay asked if it was plastic or CF. when he told it was plastic jay said that was good cause it would be cheap to replace. He was never corrected with the $12000 cost of that plastic splitter.

$12000? I can't recall the exact price but I thought the R splitter is in the low $2000 price range.... that's how much I heard when I asked at the part dept. The non-R's splitter is close to $500.

He was referring to the splitter - you're thinking the CF wing. I did think it was funny because Jay was like, "It's a Ford so the parts are pretty cheap". Wait till he needs a splitter, lol.

when leno is driving his face always looks like its his first time driving looool
To me it's incredible how relaxed he always looks. He'll be out there driving a 900 HP supercar, giving it gas around a corner and he's almost asleep. Impressive. My eyes would be bulging!

I'm sure they just gave it to him.

It's advertisement for a small price.
He said in the video that he wrote out a check for it. Unless that was just an expression, I would assume he paid MSRP. Ford probably gave him a shot at a 2015 due to his status.

"I rarely play the radio" - Jay Leno

Interesting he didn't choose the radio delete.
Interesting he got the electronics pack in the R. He probably wanted AC. I know I'd have to have AC.

First thing I would do, if I had an "R".
Same here.

Did anyone that got a 15 R pay an ADM? I figure Ford would interject since it was only for the upper echelon customers.

Gotta love Jay, he really is a car guy. Uncombed hair and all :lol
Comparing it to a Ferrari is quite a compliment. I'm sure the coachwork isn't up to snuff with the prancing horse but it IS an exotic of sorts.

Very nice video...

Couple of things I got from that video:

1) No VooDoo in any other Ford product,
2) Jay said '15, '16 and '17... Sounds like those are the years.
