If you don't believe me, feel free to refer to the 2007 Mustang Dealer Order Guide which is elsewhere on TMS.

That's what you can do when your company is profitable.

I got my conflicting info from a Ford ppt presentation on stangsunleashed. This is a screen capture of slide 66 that shows 59% GTs. http://www.stangsunleashed.com/docs/07.fordjob1.ppt
Reminds me of the Grabber orange issue. Is it metallic or not? Order guide says it is "Grabber Orange Clearcoat Metallic", slide 50 of the ppt says "Grabber Orange Clearcoat".
Is it 38% or 59% GTs?
Order guide seem more authoritative than a ppt slide but I still hope the order guide is wrong and the ppt is right.

On the other hand, if there's one thing that will kill the Challenger AND Camaro, it will be the rising price of gas putting an abrupt end to the retro muscle car fad.
That said, I doubt it will die out for a while - not with the imports introducing all sorts of high performance cars, not the least of which will be the upcoming Nissan GT-R Proto (Skyline).

The information that Five Oh B is not correct regarding total production.

Ford is making about 160,000 - 180,000 Mustangs per year.
If GT-500 was 10% that would mean Ford is making 16,000 to 18,000 GT-500s / year, which we all know is not the case.
What Five Oh B's #s are, is order allocation for his Ford region, not the annual total production mix.
As has been noted elsewhere on TMS, for whatever reason some areas of the US, like the Northeast are getting very few GTs. On the hand it appears that Five Oh B's area is getting a very generous allocation of GTs and GT-500s. He is one lucky Ford salesman.

That's fine but I was not using Five Oh B as a reference. I was using Ford's figures in the ppt above.
I have admitted that you are probably right on the allocation but was just pointing out that there is conflicting info from Ford. The slide is titled "National" order mix. It's not a regional mix on the slide and it shows that 59% of mustangs will be GTs.

Perhaps ISELLFORD could chime in and help us on this?
