Yikes. My ETA slipped 3 days too. I'll be looking at ~35 days between production and delivery. That seems a lot longer than most.
First I thought they had a back order of the stripes or the CF wing, but I think it has to do with the state you're in. They probably took their time with my car since a train to AZ wouldn't have been available for a while? That's what I tell myself anyways to stay sane lol.

Hopefully you'll have better luck though. The wait will be worth it!:headbang:

Can you describe the difference between driving the R and non-R?
I will bet he can describe the difference between the seats in the tech pack and the R.....Good Lord, you better be 5' 8" and 170 Max...Other than that, its a tight fit:eyebulge:

True. I'm 6'2" and 230. It is a tight fit in the R's Recaro's but it's not uncomfortable at all. At least in my case.

I'm on a diet. The R diet.

5'11" at 185 - I sat in, but didn't drive, an R and thought the seats were perfect for me - snug. I'm hoping it holds true for extended drives.

The last gt500 recaros are just a tad wide so if these are a bit smaller, itll fit perfectly. With how much weight ive lost recently ill have a significant power to weight ratio over the majority;)

I'm 6'2", 185lbs and I think the Recaros fit perfectly fine. Granted, my longest drive has been 2.5 hours but I felt great the whole time.

Got an update - looks like my build date got moved up to 5/23 (today) from 5/26, so that's good. It's been in production since Thursday evening. FP said it will probably be done today or tomorrow then get sent for wing and wheels. They expect it to be ready to ship this week!

Now, nothing....nothing at all...is going to get done at work from now until I get the car....and then maybe a little longer :) (Just kidding, Rick (security guy) - just in case you're logging this!) :)

I am happy for you! I'm a bit frustrated for me, however. I just talked to FP: Mine was built 2 weeks ago yet is still sitting in a lot waiting to go for wheels and wing. ETA remains 6/17.

I wonder if it's a shortage of blue stripes? Maybe they're shuffling mod shop work for cars based on when they'll have a critical mass of other cars to ship to certain geographies?

Just remember your build is 3 days behind mine. I didn't find out it had finished the detail shop and shipped until today. Hopefully Thursday is your lucky day!

My ETA is still 6/23. I suspect you're right on track and you'll find out that it's closer than you think!
