Congrats! I was just looking at my window sticker it looks like my Race Red was also a special order.

Congrats on your purchase! While the Hellcat is a unique experience, I think the GT350 offers a total drivers experience that is hard to match for the price.

After months of searching to find my the exact color combo at an MSRP deal, my beautiful new GT350 arrived last night. Sad to see the Hellcat go, but I can only accommodate 1 garage queen. This was a tough decision. The Hellcat motor is absolutely incredible, but the looks/sound and overall driving experience of the GT350 won me over. :ford:

Anyone know why some window stickers say "special order" and others do not? Also, my car already had the oil filter wrench with it. Thought those were mailed to new owners??

Do you miss the "press you to the seats" power/acceleration?

What a beautiful car. I didn't move over from a hellcat but I did move over from a scat pack Challenger. Congratulations!

The Hellcat - "press you to the seat" acceleration will be sorely missed. So many great vehicles coming out lately (I need a bigger barn and bank account).

Everyone on here follow the break in process? So hard to hold back

Very nice. Congrats! Will you track it? Are there any road courses in the area? We had vacationed in Tempe & south this pass winter. Looking forward to it again.
Bring the ride, and lets find a nice road course (shoot me a PM next time in town).

Yes on planning to track it. Met a GT350 owner at cars and coffee this past weekend that mentioned Shelby days in Vegas.

Only break in process is no WOT for first 100, no track first 1000. Otherwise let 'er rip.

I would keep it below 6000 RPM and do not use cruise control or keep the same speed for long periods of time. If on the highway, I'd shift between 6th and 5th regularly. This is not what Ford says but I've been doing my cars this way for years. I'd do this for the first 500 miles at least.
