i called ford yesterday about my order that i placed 10/25 black GT with IUP and a spoiler i asked the ford rep about the spoiler problem they told me that is was just a nasty rumor that got started and there is no such thing??? I also talked to them about my DORA and told them i havent seen anything yet they got my dealer information and my information and told me that my car is CURRENTLY being built without any material holds. The guy also said that right now they are running about from order to delivery on average of 12 weeks. They told me that my DORA would be at my dealer next week with my VIN etc. So hopefully this is good news ...and maybe answers some questions about the spoiler.

the guy on the phone directly told me that there is no spoiler problem at all for any time i am just telling you what the Ford Rep said to me. As far as the DORA and my dealer not informing me of anything i took it in my own hands and called ford directly. I gave them my dealer address and when i ordered and what i ordered like i said I placed my order on 10/25 and was told that i would not even see my car till February or later and wouldnt receive my DORA till at least January,

Like Karpo said, your DORA was available within a few days of the dealer placing your order.
Sounds like he didn't place your order when you ordered it.

yeah he did i also asked Ford Rep about that he said IN SOME cases the DORA doesnt show up for a month, so i asked them when it showed my order and they said 10/25....so this can answer some questions about some ppl not recieving there DORA and such.

thanx trying too....one thing for sure is not all dealers (i know mine for sure) will keep on top of things for us stang nuts. My dealer isnt very agressive at all in the mean time i am going nuts. I dont mind waiting for my car its just the not knowing anything that kills me. But hopefully like i said if the ford rep wasnt b.s.ing me that they are running on average of 12 weeks

That means GT orders must be running over 50% when the original projections were 32%. No wonder they are running short of 5-speeds.
We may not have all the shortage facts (and Ford is not forthcoming with them), but I think everyone can agree this has been one very big marketing projection fumble.

Mazda set production at 80% I4 and 20% V6. Demand was over 40% V6. You couldn't beg borrow or steal a V6 MT for many months. Then they ran out of V6 (17") rims.
The Mazda USA Pres was replaced and the screw-up was rumored to be the major factor.

Hey 05 Gray GT, when did you order and which dealership? We are trying to keep an eye on how others orders are being pulled/built as a loose gauge to reference ours. We ordered 11/6 at Extreme Ford in Overland Park.

I ordered mine from Olathe Ford on 9/17. I think they have put a number of there own stock before mine because I'm paying $500 over invoice.Kind of put me off but that's ok it will be in the garage most of the winter. I would love to have it now but I feel I'm getting a good deal on the car.I used to live in Denver and it seemed like the Ford dealers out there that would deal with you were few and far between.I went in to Olathe Ford with the price I would pay and they didn't even try to B.S. me .In Denver I would go to buy a car and I would get the same old story. They would ask how I got my numbers and try and tell me they were wrong.I got thrown out of Courtesy Ford in 1994 over price.Went down the road and got what I wanted. Sorry I'm rambling on here.

If they would offer a variation of the IUP that just eliminated the MY COLOR part of the pkg., then I would go for it......but I won't give up any of the other features associated with the IUP. 
It'll be interesting at a later date to see the entire production #'s for 2005, and see just how many Stang's have the My Color.

Unfortunately, Ford Does Not offer IUP w/out My Color. They have an interior sport appearance package, but you don't get the dash/scuff plate trim, etc. It's eithr IUP w/MyColor, or no IUP.

It's just a gimmick and it will be cut back and then eventually not offered by '07.

I just hope this doesn't turn out to be a hinderance for anyone that experiences problems with it.....and what I mean here is the expense of having repair work done on what was a short supply item (after the warranty of course).

B) Hmmmmm I ordered Spoiler Delete in and they installed a spoiler at the factory anyway. Now that we have it, glad they made a mistake. 
Guess I took someones spoiler. Sorry. but it looks good
