Let's add another Sonic Blue to the mix. My order is in and the waiting begins. How in the world do you guys stand it. I've been all afternoon ever since I received my DORA from Karpro today. I was given priority#19 and told not to expect it until June/July... but I've waited this long so what's a few more months. So I'll make my way to the back of the line and try to be as patient as possible. I think my family, friends & co-workers want me to get my Mustang as much as I do just so I'll shut up about it.
If I wasn't divorced already this definitely would have caused it, so either way it's a win win situation!

Thanks again Karpro & everyone else on TMS for all your valuable information!

Congrats, I see you’ve got the IUP and Sonic Blue (one of my top 3 color choices).

TMS is here for you when you need a fix... and I'm an addict !

Welcome to the club!

Thanks guys... I'm extremely excited about the prospect of owning a new Mustang as it will be my first Mustang and my first manual car. I just learned how to drive a manual this past year on my friends Mazda RX8 and Pontiac FirePigeon as I like to call it!

Is it here yet?

So THAT'S what a DORA looks like! Hope to get one of my own (DORA, that is) this time next month. We'll see about that!

CONGRATULATIONS on your order! Hopefully your wait will be relatively brief.

Definitely Sonic Blue for me. I was hoping Ford was going to come out with a Midnight Blue back when rumors of the 05 were spreading but no luck.
There is a slight mistake on my DORA which Karpro is taking care of. It was ordered with the spoiler and I want mine without. Don't get me wrong I like the Stang either way but the pic below had me sold on not getting the spoiler. I don't recall who's car it actually is but it's on my wallpaper on my PC and my Cell!

Congratulations Mike, and welcome to the forum!

Honestly, I've only been waiting since December 30, but there are two things helping me to keep my sanity during this unbearable wait:

1. This forum
2. My current 95 GT, which is still a great car.

Good luck with your order!

Karpro's a great guy... as you already know.
Congratulations! Welcome to the Mustang club.
From now on anytime you go to buy a car, all you'll have to decide is color and options...
because the rest of your cars will all be Mustangs!
BTW, I'll get out of that line your in as soon as I can. Hopefully in a couple of weeks.

This is a great reminder of why the DORA is so important. One of my clerical people entered the order, check that the pricing matched and submitted. When I got the DORA the next morning (today) I reviewed it, caught the mistake and altered the order. Better to catch the mistake at day one not as the car comes off the truck.

I too ordered a Sonic Blue w/ Spoiler Deleted. I think it is an awesome color. I just can't wait to get it. This is worse than wailting for a baby to be delivered.

I agree! If I was planning on putting stripes then I definitely would have gone with the spoiler. IMO a Mustang w/stripes and no spoiler looks wrong. Stripes and a spoiler go hand in hand. Plus the speeds I plan on driving my baby, a spoiler isn't necessary.
