That's what I ordered but tech rather than track. Can't wait!
Awesome! Got any more pics of that combo? I'm finding very few. I'd want track as I, well, track my cars. LOL :D

Look at that horrible body panel fitment on the right rear.
That thing has either been bumped already or they skipped the QC on that bumper/qtr panel fit. Trrbl

Yeah, I don't think it's a good sign that QC will be better on the GT350. And that's an R.
Yeah that is unfortunate.

Just another reason I'm still considering an M4 and the upcoming C63 coupe.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you order a GT350 and it ships with jacked up panels, you don't have to accept delivery. Correct?

I'd bet most of these pre-production cars feature build issues like that.

It would be easy to write if off to pre-production if it weren't for the fact that it's a common issue on lesser models and that those parts are not pre-production parts (as far as I know.) Meaning, those are the same panels that are on any other Mustang. Let's face it, Ford has had this issue (apparently a non-issue for them) for the better part of a decade. My '08 bullitt has a significant alignment problem where the rear bumper cover meets the quarter panel, on one side.

Probably a really good choice.

Some may be able to work with dealers to get the problem fixed. I might not even notice. I'll be busy listening to the Voodoo sing.

The thing is that if that body panel alignment fits within their tolerance for error, then to them it's acceptable. I see many new cars with variances in paint between plastic and metal, fit issues, interior flaws. Manufacturers know every car can't be perfect so they decide on what passes their QC to balance quality and production.
I get that philosophy for high volume sellers, just hoping it's different for this model.
