    brake warranty ?

    It shouldn't be covered under warranty since you were racing it around. Your dealer might honor it, but Ford would not pay them for it.

    Waiting On Your 2006 Order?

    A dealer trade will get you your car ASAP if they can pull it off. Where's this dealer out of by the way?

    Ford/Dealership troubles

    Contact dealers are big time dealerships. Mainly found in populous/city areas. They get monthly allocation, depending on the size, they may see two GTs a month. Select stores are small, found in rural areas, they may see two Mustangs the whole year, and both probably are V6s.

    Kzinti is gone!

    Who is this guy? Did he work for Ford? If so, he might have been let go last week.

    Waiting On Your 2006 Order?

    DUDE! YES IT DOES! 99 means DO NOT BUILD! In fact anything 99 doesn't make it on an order report. While I was interning at Ford, one job I did was schedule units to be built for small dealers. Basically I'd pull a report, the order bank, and it would list every order and their priority codes...

    What are you guys talking about? The Mustang already is a hybrid, it burns gas and rubber! :banana:

    Ford/Dealership troubles

    What polkthug said. Also, ask if they're a contact or select dealer. If they're select, good luck, you could be waiting a very very long time. If they're contact, find out what their allocation is for the month of October and if anyone else is waiting for GTs. Also, do you have 18" wheels on...

    Visited with my Dealer Friday

    Your dealer is correct on telling you he has no hard info yet. Very good for him and you. From my internship experience, Ford dealers out there will have some very ugly issues when they realize they can't deliver on promises they've already made. You can believe me or not, but I have...

    Best tire pressure for dragstrip passes?

    Hi all, I'm heading back to the strip, second trip in 'Stang, Thursday night. I remember reading in Car & Driver, in an older issue, that they got some better times by playing with the tire pressure a bit and their best at XX PSI. I want to say it was like 28 or so? But anyways, what would you...

    Pics Of the NEW GT500!!

    That's really weird. It's not company policy to ship an individual vehicle, much less exposed to the elements. Where was this snapped at? The only thing I can think of from my stint was if a magazine or some other reviewer is requesting it and the timing was very short to ship it out. It does...

    Waiting On Your 2006 Order?

    Those 18" wheels are what's holding you up. I interned with Ford and I have very good ties with my extended family that work in various aspects of the company. I heard from my brother that anything 3 months and older were to be looked into, verify that the orders are legit, and the customer is...

    GT500 under $40k MSRP guaranteed!

    Oh man that is so funny to hear how that got hosed. The dealer put himself into a position he can't deliver on, he will back out and this guy will be pissed. MSRP is not going to be under $40K. A dealer can't dictate that, they can sell it for that, but they can't dictate it. Oh man this is...

    Doing 58 in a 40

    Sorry about your frustration. But being alert is everything, detector or not. I've actaully been driving the past few weeks without just fine. I did once get pulled over, but that was because of my own stupidity. I decided to pull out of a wedding and do a burnout, the guy I pulled in front of...
