So what? A viper ACR, Porsche 911 GT2, Corvette C6 ZR1 all do better times than the GTR. Heck Car and Driver got a WRX STI to do a 7:55 and that car is what 1/10 the price? A CTS-V has done sub 8s there. Im not saying its a garbage car, Im just saying its ALL launch control, turn that little computer off and see how well it does.

Huh? Gtr is under or right at 100k. if you know where they are selling sti's for 10k please do tell.

Point of the whole thing though is that the Gtr and the gt mustang are two completely different cars.
I have a mag article that ran the Shelby, the z06 and the Gtr and the Gtr whipped up on them in every aspect.

The dash panels are darker on the 401A. The seats are the same structurally, only difference, instead of the rolled covers, it has the smooth cover with the "tuxedo" stripe down the middle in either Grabber Blue or Cashmere on Dark Charcoal.

If it was me, I'd get the 401A. You also get the nicer shifter ball as well, and nicer door panels with material and a pony emblem in them. For $395, its well worth it.

+100 on that dude!! A standard oil change service on the car is several hundred dollars!! No more $39.99 Works Special at the Ford dealer with a GT. I also heard the trans fluid is $100 a quart, and adding that up for a flush is EXPENSIVE!!

He can get this car if he wants. Its an impressive car. I was in one. Extremely fast, but very digital. It can make a horrid driver like Schumacher due to all the gizmos!!

Every aspect? Thats rather vague. Like I said, I never said its a junk car, just that its a digital car and god help you if your warranty runs out, similar to a M3, you are gonna pay out the *** for upkeep and maint.

You should definitely speak to your dealer, ThrustangFiveO. You should also order another brochure to see if it comes with the offer and a later date.

Picked up my Red Candy this evening and it was worth the wait.
Thanks again
Wooooo Hooooo!!! Congrats, john_688!! I can't wait to see the pics!

Deysha so I guess the next logical question is, if people with the track pack change the order to a brembo and rear diff and lose the two coolers, will the orders get scheduled then?

Hmm... looks like my build date was pushed back (listed at 31st now)...oddly still says ETA March 29th... though I guess I'm not that familiar with this system so it's possible it doesn't even mean anything

Aw man im probably no different then. I ordered 2/4. Best we can do is call daily. Maybe someone with access to the commodities report (Jeff, Brian) could give us the weekly update on the status of the track pack?
