2016 white gt premium with performance package
I pick up my 2016 gt premium tomorrow in Savannah. It came from a different dealership to mine so it was driven from NC. Is there any way for me to know the top speed reached on my car when i pick it up so i can know if the guy who drove it dogged it out or not on the way here? Thanks.

As somebody who works in the car business, if they had somebody drive it they were likely old retirees or they had somebody go get it with a car hauler. They arent going to send some 18 yo kid to bring your 400+ hp car back. Granted those same old people wrecked the car I was supposed to buy on the way back to the dealership so I had to wait another week before I got my car:frusty:

Just make sure you inspect the car before you take delivery. Check for chips in the glass, paint, rims, tires, etc. My car was driven over 200 miles to the SC dealer after locating the color/options combo in Georgia. I know people who work at the dealership and they are very careful when transporting cars but you never know.

I had the same thoughts when I bought my E92 M3.

It got transferred between dealerships since the car I wanted was located about a 3 hour drive away. They arranged for a driver to bring the car over, and then once it arrived I had to wait a further week for them to do another PPI before handover.

There is no way you can know if the driver had a bit of fun, but in all likelihood he will have driven responsibly. I wouldn't worry.

Actually, you want the guy to give it some pulls...You don't want the car to be driving the same constant speed (typically highway) during break-in.

Don't worry, He/She wont break your car, they just get to drive it before you do. You'll get over it real quick once you are behind the steering wheel.

I also came from 2006 GT Convertible Mustang, and believe me you will simply be think its a spaceship compared to old car.

I also had supercharged 2006 Saleen which was pretty well sorted car but very old compared to the new mustang----Happy Days-- you will smile everytime you get into it. I have 33,000 miles on my 2015 GT and I still love it every day

I don't think there is a way to tell, but if there is, it would be in the Navigation info screen. Some of my old cars had the top speed reach hidden inside the nav info menus. I wouldn't worry about someone driving your car, even if it is a kid. These cars get dogged on all the time at the dealership, so yours will just have a few more miles on it.

I'm sure these transporters drive Mustangs all the time. I wouldn't stress it too much! If anything, he is doing some break-in time so you don't have to!
