My understanding is that they are "batched" by color. Small groups of the same color get built together. Not 100% sure of that info.

Quick question...

What is the ETA start / end date mean?

If production is scheduled for April 4, wouldn't the car be complete that same week?

Thanks!!

The ETA start and end dates are the estimates for "arrival" at the dealer.

That is interesting and would make sense. I'm Oxford white if it matters. I never ever wish a second of my life away but I can't imagine what this forum looks like in another 4-6 weeks.

Mine is white as well. Just got moved to clean last week so maybe it's a bit early to call and ask tomorrow...but I will not be able to resist I hope they don't keep track of who calls when when, lol.

If this is true...I wonder if that is why my yellow R is pushed back so far...I found out today the Build date is 4-21-16 and ETA to dealer (and my hands) 5/20/16... oh well, my birthday is 5/27 so by the time I get all the crap on it.....Clear bra, roll cage, etc......it should be done by my birthday...Memorial week end (put it on your calendars...road trip to Dallas):clap2:

Fellas - I apologize if I missed this - but where are you tracking your cars? Do you call your dealer each time? Currently, that is what I do...I am assuming though, a better way exists. Do tell!

If you change the color again, you would likely get it faster. lol.

LOL very funny !!!.........No I think I like being just 3.4% of all colors....going to be a little more rare...Plus I like the loud color...I have had 3 yellow sports cars...VIPER, Porsche, Ferrari, and now a GT350...I do not have a photo of the 2006 Porsches 997 Turbo, or the 2001 VIPER..but I have a thing for yellow I guess....lol

I don't understand anyone having a "thing" for yellow. :lol:

Call Ford Performance @ 1-800-367-3788 and use Option 1. Ask the rep for a status update. They will want the last 5 digits of your VIN or the Dealer # and order #. Good luck!

Mine is OW also, with OTT stripes. I wouldn't think in today's time that they need to batch colors. I assume modern paint robotics can change color on every car.

I don't care as long as they build it....hurry up already

I'm with you on that. And plus what's the difference in panting an R vs non R? I would think none because they have been pumping them out in all colors.
