2020 GT500's Scheduled For Production - Part 1

[dirty-max]

The data dump site said "Arrived Rail" an hour ago and according to my salesman it arrived at 9 this morning but it now says "Passing Arrival" on the dump site so hopefully that isn't a bad thing!

The whole train thing sucks man. Mine has changed so many different times from passing to passing arrival to at junction and has went back to passing. Called FP and they don’t even know where it is. Very irritating.

You need to register with the carrier for the most accurate answer. I did with Norfolk Southern and got more detail than FP or the data dump. It's a pain in the ass but it is possible.

I talked to my dealer he said rail car is detached from the train and sitting in the yard. He is trying to get the off loading expedited.

I’ll look these over when I get a little free time but very interesting, it’s the total build of my car, step by step, with date code and pass and fails.
Dealer gave it to me on delivery

Just also an FYI to anyone ordering the base model with the Handling Package. The gurney flap, According to the dealer once it is installed it’s going to be a pain in the ass to take off. He indicated there is double-sided tape Used for fastening

Interesting.

Interesting.

One could not remove the protective tape over the sticky so it will come off easily. I will more than likely never take it off anyway, I like the looks, but thanks for the heads up buddy.

Doesn't jibe well with the on-off speak in the owner's manual if you are going to follow their recommendation and track/street drive your car.

I really like the looks of the gurney flap and spiltter wickers but I was thinking about removing them for the drag strip.
Thanks for the info regardless.

It makes sense there would be more holding it to the swing then just the 4 little bolts I guess.

I am not sure if any of you will be buying and ESP from you dealer, but just incase you are, here is a link I think you should investigate BEFORE doing the paperwork on your car. Dealers inflate these prices so much to make a profit, its terrible. I always pick my plan and get my price before walking in to sign the papers.

You can buy directly from the website, it's the exact same warranty as offered by the dealership, just A LOT cheaper. I went with the 8yr/60K - 0 deductible option and my dealership even beat Flood Ford's by $50.

Just wanted to pass this along for those who didn't know.

Funny how it’s for on track use not the street once installed how do you remove the gurney flap for street use.

So, I though I would go and take a look at mine. No "tape", just foam, so this can come off at anytime, easily.

I am looking at the instructions now. it does not indicate there is double-sided tape but only screwed down, I’d still check if you’re in doubt
