Old head with GT500 questions

[Evolvd]

First let me preface, yes I used search and it’s always been a pain trying to find exactly what you’re looking for unless you word it exactly as posted.
That being said, I’m in the market for a GT500 and my local dealer has an unspent allocation so I’m going in tomorrow to talk business.
Here’s my question, I don’t plan on tracking but can I get the Handling package individually? I really only want the wickers and catch can but I cannot find them on Ford Performance or Levittown.
Secondly, I’m torn between three colors, FP Blue, Rapid Red, and Shadow Black. Is Rapid Red similar to Ruby Red? My dealer doesn’t have that color in stock for me to look at in person. I had a ‘16 GT in Ruby and loved that color. Black OTT stripes on it looks sick. Ive also been a fan of Shadow Black and I’d have a local vinyl installer do matte black OTT stripes with red accent like the 350R had.
Thanks in advance for not burying me, I’ve been daydreaming of the GT500 ever since it was announced and now I’m financially sound to afford it!

Of those 3, I like the Rapid red. Beautiful color.

My Rapid Red, no stripes, will be delivered anytime now. I’ll be posting pics on the 2021 orders thread. Possibly as early as tomorrow. I’m not sure about ordering the track pack pieces as stand alone items.

Sorry, I meant to say Handling Package.

Rapid red has replaced Ruby red, and is very close. Black is black and to me is the one thing in life that does not fall into “once you go black, you can’t go back”. To me once you go black (paint) you won’t go back. Your down to the two best colors in my opinion. For me FPB won, good luck on your decision as only you know how that will turn out.

You can get splitters and wicker bill later, you don’t have to spend 18K and get the CFTP to get them.

You said Handling, I incorrectly wrote Track but meant Handling. My mistake.

The wickers are available as a service part and the catch can is offered by FP as well as vendors that carry their hardware.

Thank you for the web link. According to the link it looks like I’d also have to purchase new coil covers for the drain return. I can see where the handling pack price starts to add up.

Only the GT500 comes with the cast aluminum covers. Even Base, non-HP or CFTP cars will have the same covers and they all came with a plug that gets removed for the return fitting. Long story short, you won't need the covers and would be good to go as-is.

Good info, thanks for sharing cause I doubt I'd even figure that out talking to a dealer lol

color is on you
handling package i would skip, as the pieces you want will be available individually, and the OEM oil catchcan is junk compared to what is actually needed, so get a UPR can.

Rapid Red

fishpick can't come to the phone right now... he's actively cloning this car... please leave a message and he will return your calls later...

Damn, I assumed the engineers would’ve designed something to work with their potent engine. Thanks for the info!
