ERL (Although not so evil anymore) has me down for the 25th still.
I'll have to take her out to dinner or something once I get my pony.
I'm gonna tell her I'll take her out to dinner, but then I'm gonna keep postponing for 4-5 months. Never can tell when there will be a shortage of chicken...or pasta...

From other posts I've seen here on the forum, the last 6 digits of your VIN is simply the sequence number, not the order it was built. I've also seen other posts that the factory lumps like units together for assembly - e.g., all IUPs; all ICAPS; all manuals; etc. Therefore, the cars aren't built in the order of their VINs.

The GT I ordered was produced April 11; moved to the shipping yard April 13 and is supposed to be here May 2. For those of you with April 25 build dates, that gives some idea of shipping times.

Dealer just called with the VIN#, but said the build is now 5/2. :bang:
This is about as concrete as it gets!

I think at least a couple times a week. Usually late Thursday Night/Friday morning and possible Tuesday sometime.

I ordered 3/29. Dealer changed one of their stock orders for me.

Just called, ERL told me that "As of 3/31 your unit is scheduled to be built week of 4/25.

That means it should be here mid May!!!! :banana2: :banana2:

Raymond, Brian - Me TOO! 'Locked in .. week of 4/25' I think ERL needs a date check though - 'as of April 26th'??? I wasn't sure I heard that right until I saw your posts. Hey at this point we don't care, just keep those production lines running and BUILD OUR CARS ! :worship:

Someone opined that the date that it tells you ("as of ____") is the date that the car will actually be produced. I wonder if there is any truth to this. If so, mine would be produced next Wed, April 27th. What other reasons could there be that some of us say "as of the 26th" and mine says "as of the 27th"?
