Stopped by my local dealer Ford of Pompano Beach FL to check on the status of our Ingot GT Prem and there was a Black Ecoboost with 20's. This was the first time we got to see the 20's in person. I also very carefully scrutinized the cars fit and finish. Btw, our build sheet will be ready early next week and following the trail begins; he estimated 6/7 weeks. The Sales Mgr Jeff Suppo has been great so far and is personally handling our transaction. He loved my wife GS Fsport and said it looked brand new (and it does).
1) The 20's are stunning and pictures (at least mine lol) don't do them justice.
2) The tires are ZR rated 265/35's (99Y) summer P Zeros
3) The wheels are certainly not black, not even the insets are black. The lighting for this particular pic was in the shade so they look much darker than what they are. Ford should never rep'd these as black.
4) The 20's make the car look more expensive than it really is.
5) The panel fit was spot on
6) The paint had quite a bit of orange peel, perhaps maybe a bit too much even for a Ford but the car was black so maybe not.
7) This car is made for black....Henry would be happy.
8) We also saw a deep impact blue in the sun and although quite nice, it didn't look anywhere's near as good as in pics. In my opinion, you want a car to look better in the flesh than in pics. I think the Barrett Jackson lighting spoiled us.
We also inquired about a 50th LE. The mgr said Ford built 4 extra cars beyond the 1964 in the event a car is damaged during production. He said if all goes well the additional 4 cars will be for display purposes only or something to that effect.
I asked about the rumored HP increase and he truthfully said he could not confirm this.
