After waiting since December 8th and having to order twice, I finally got my Windveil blue GT last night.
Wow!!, this ride is all that and a bag of chips!!!
I don't own a digital camera, so pictures will have to wait a bit. You can give me the 'TTIWWP'.....
I did have the dealer add the V6 'Mustang' stripes on the side, it really gives the car a nice look in my opinion (others will think differently, of course)
Question: they tell me that I need to change oil at 5000 miles, wouldn't I want to do the 1st change sooner?
Gonna clean and wax it tonight
Thanks for the support through the looong wait!!

I thought the "normal" interval was 3,000 - changed mine at 1500 but alot of folks do it earlier than that for the first one. 5,000 seems way too long for the intial IMO

Ford manual and my salesman both say that since its a synthetic blend to change every 5,000. 
I'm a little over 1,000 now and am wondering when to change myself. (Yes, first oil change at dealer is free.)

Congratulations!!!!! 
I have 1500 miles on mine and I'm on the third oil change.
I'm sure I'll hear about it from those with other opinions but to me . . . oil/filters are cheap insurance during the break-in period.
I'll be switching to full synthetic when the engine tells me it's ready via the improved gas milage that comes when it's finally broken in. Then I'll be changing it every 3000.
Just my .02 . . .
