Rental car or borrowing a car seems like a perfectly acceptable way to get reliable transportation. Having a new Mustang GT is an emotional experience, hence why I didn't understand if the goal is to have the enjoyment of that vehicle that a totally different car would be chosen instead.

The emotional investment will be worth the wait. I just saw a 2013 GT coupe in deep impact blue with the optional 19" wheels that looked great in person. Every day you get in that car, you will not regret your purchase.

Hopefully it will. I definitely understand the frustration of not knowing. You have ordered a desirable option combination. It's worth the wait. In my many years of car buying, the ups and downs of passionate ownership can be a challenge. Good luck!

 

I rent a lot of cars for my military trips and it seems to me that would get uber expensive relatively quickly, but I could be mistaken.

I dont think the wait is because everyone ordered this desirable option (track pack)....from what I have been told Ford had to build all the BOSS's the first quarter of the year so they didnt have the BOSS parts to put in for the track packs...Commodities show they have the parts, but still most of us didnt get a build date last week, only maybe 2?

 

I order a black premium gt manual with reacors and track pack

 

I ordered by Boss in mid February and I still don't have a schedule date or VIN so I don't think the Boss builds are holding up the track packs.

Visited the dealer this weekend and I was told the Boss order was on hold with no reason why.

I guess it happens when it happens...

 

It could be certainly in your situation.

Unclear phraseology on my part - by desirable I meant "something special to you" on the GT. I have seen the discussion surrounding the parts going first to the Boss production. Hopefully all you track pack people will be set soon. Best of luck!!

 

On another thread someone from Canada already received their new stang. And he confirmed it did have them.

The CDN trim already has all the comfort group stuff included.
But they should at least mentioned it in the guide. Probably forgot.

 

I agree. Well put man. I can wait for sure

 

Deysha, any news on what is going on with the Bosses?? Are they still in Michigan or on trains by now?

 

Oh ok yes that makes sense. What I really wanted was the brembos and a rear diff change. The track pack had that and additional cooler goodies for around $350, I dont think I could do those two things that cheap. However, it wasnt make or break for me, especially since I can get the two major components seperately in other packages.

 

There hasn't been anything at all yet on my retail ordered Boss.

 

Hey Deysha, any update on my order? I sent you a PM last week.

 

I just saw my new DIB Mustang on Alcatraz running the streets of San Francisco.

 

It might have a few scratches

 

Hi all: I'm new to the forum. Thanks to everyone who's posted; I've learned more about the 2013 'stang here than anyplace else (including the dealerships I've visited, but from what I've read that's not unusual). I'm ready to order a 2013 (Sterling Gray Metallic, glass roof, track pack, pedestal spoiler, electronics package -- a little begrudgingly on that last one but I know I'll regret it if I skip it) but I have one question before I do. Without a 2013 brochure, I'm having a hard time determining the interior color/trim options for my combination. I had planned to order the 401A package for the upgraded trim (with "color accented seats"), but what I really want is the Charcoal Black Leather with Lava Red Inserts (just like what's pictured on page 19 of the 2012 brochure above "V6 Premium") but I remember reading that, although that was an option in 2012, it may not be for 2013.

So my question is basically this: What exactly are the interior color/trim options for a GT Premium Coupe in SGM, both with and without the 401A package? I couldn't figure it out from the order guide either... Please feel free to direct me to an accurate resource for the info.

Thanks!

 

Have you tried the build and price section on the www.ford.com site?

 

The last time I tried I had some browser issues that kept me from completing the process, but I'll give it a go again; thanks!

 

Okay; what had me confused was the term "accent" on the 2013 Ordering Guide compared with the 2012 Brochure. If I understand correctly, for a non-Recaro, non-C/S GT Premium I can get 400A with monochromatic leather or 401A with "racing stripes" (as pictured in the 2012 brochure). In other words, there are no more colored "inserts" (the entire cushion surface between the side bolsters) available as pictured in the 2012 brochure -- just the "racing stripe". And in Charcoal Black Leather the only options are Grabber Blue and Cashmere for the racing stripe. Is that correct?

I think I was relying on the 2012 brochure too much, but I wasn't expecting the options with SGM and 401A to be so limiting. Any further feedback is certainly appreciated; thanks!

 

Welcome Fred!

 

Congrats and welcome! Very similar to what i ordered. I ordered 2 monthes ago and have heard nothing. Wouldnt be surprised if you get a VIN and build date before me too.

 

If you don't want to wait, why not check local dealer allocation and just buy one off of the lot? If you were willing to change your order, maybe you can compromise on a few options and have it in 2-3 weeks? I know there is a Track Pack car here in the KC area...I am sure there will be one close to you.
