Ordered March 23, delivered June 3, and I got it for X plan.

Oh man is this thing a blast! It's surely a lot different than driving a classic or the 96 GT for that matter, but wow. Comfortable, damn fast for a stock car, and I have no words for how great it looks. I need to get the 66 back together (5.0/T-5 swap in progress) so I can do a photoshoot of them together.

So far I have a little over 100 miles on it, and it'll scratch into 3rd gear even with the traction control on.

I don't have updated pics of it with the new coat of red on the clipers, but here it is at the dealer getting prepped:

Great looking car. Mine was also built on the 23rd and I picked it up Friday afternoon. What a blast to drive.

Congrats.....

What kind of paint did you use on the calipers? I had considered painting my calipers also.

Got it at Autozone. It was cheap, easy, and took maybe an hour. A couple notes: wait until the brakes are nice and cool, and get a better brush than the POS that's included in the kit.

It was somewhere in the neighborhood of $27,700 before TTL. I didn't look at the sticker to see what it said, but I know it was a lot more than that.
