Placed my order on April fool's day yet its not a joke:headbang:

Ingot Silver
Manual
No parking sensor
3.15 gears.

Meanwhile, got some mods ready:
A pair of GT front brakes
AnarchyMotive Shift Knob
Deciding between rtr tech7 vs mrr350
No 3.55 gears? You won't regret it...

Good options, but think about adding
1. spare tire.....the standard inflation kit it crap
2. spoiler delete....cleaner lines and no holes if you decide to get after market spoiler.

Don't listen to the EB/GT crowd, you are making the payments not them. Get the car you want!

I DD'd a manual 2001 mustang for 12 years (225k miles) before trading it in on the 16. Miss driving stick on open roads, but very glad i got the auto when stuck in traffic. Have almost 10k miles on my 2016 V6 and have not regretted it one day. Finally broke my habit of kicking the floor boards trying to push in the non-existent clutch.
When ordering, the dealer actually told me that V6s have no spoiler by default

It requires the 051A package which is 1000 bucks. I am getting a set of aftermarket wheels anyways so i figured its not worth it for me. If it is an individual option I would get it in a heartbeat

I didn't know that! When I had put together a V6 order originally it always was with the 051A, but I always assumed you could get 3.55s anyway. I guess not. Getting it done later is pricey and risky as it's very difficult to get the gears set correctly, plus it would need a tune by default. You gotta pick and choose your things. The manual V6 I got some seat time in with the 3.15s was decent, but was a lot of fun with 3.55s. It really lets you get into the powerband of the 3.7 better.

Its in production now! I got an estimated delivery date at june 23rd but since its being produced now, I hope it arrives earlier.

Also, this order process is so worth it lol. The opportunity of buying something that is "made to order" is so rare these days and during the wait period, you can get all the mods you want which is another plus.

I am so excited and can't wait to pick it up as my first car now!

Glad to see your car order is moving along. I didn't think I was getting mine until the end in may. And I have had it for over a week now. So yours may still show within a week or so. :D

Good luck. It will be here before ya know it. But the wait is killer. :headbonk:
