Welcome, and congrats on your new Mustang. Your order is identical to mine!
I can't help by wonder. I noticed your order date was a month after mine, but you will be getting your car a full month ahead of me!!!
I wish someone could tell me why the Ford ordering process is so F***** unfair!

I'm not very happy either. I ordered 4/26, and my ETA is 8/14. Car will be built 7/29. The total wait time for my GT will be ~105 days 
And I don't mean to sound like a total downer. I'm very excited to (eventually) get my new awesome Mustang. It just helps to vent on this forum to people who understand and are going through the same order related pains. Thank you for listening.

BTW, what priority was your order?

Well, our cars are probably sitting on the lot looking sharp after being finished up on 06/28.
Hopefully, just a few more weeks now. I've already built a small parts bin that will going on it. Picked up some used GT500 quad mufflers, got a CAI and SCT tuner ready for the new bama tune. Ordering a new shift **** today. And getting my dealership to order the GT500 rear diffuser.

I'm thinking the borla type-s catback (for the sound) and then some springs/shocks/struts.
Then when I burn though the tires I'll figure out what what rims. Probably 275s all around.

Yeah I suppose we should just "buck up" and quit bringing down the morale of this thread...whining isn't going to get our cars here any sooner. It is just a little disappointing, though, when you are told 6-8 weeks(8 being the "in case of issues" number) and then it takes 12 or more...but I'm with you SOOO excited for it to get here. I have parts waiting to be installed.
BTW, what priority was your order?

Ditto. I ordered mine 5/14 and still don't even have a VIN, I have seen identical Mustangs biult, I think even the same color. The good ole boy system needs to be abolished and replaced with a more streamlined first come first serve process IMHO. My 8-12 weeks isn't even going to be close as it looks. Not sure I will stick it out, it depends on the new rebates and my deliovery ETA. I don't need a summer car in the winter. FORD is missing the boat on this one.

The weather finally cleared up here in Michigan so Lyla got her first bath and a couple coats of Zaino. I wouldn't let the dealer detail her so she had been dirty since I picked her up the other day. She was happy to be cleaned up and to get out of the garage and stretch her legs today.

I understand the delivery process as for the most part they are filling up trains and trucks to minimize transportation costs. The whole priority of building and such is @#$%. At least you have a biult car , mine isn't even in line yet to be built.

This is old news and I'm sure most of you have seen it, but this is the reason the plant is shutting down for a month, which I hadn't read yet.
http://www.detroitnews.com/article/2...0102/305290009
Also, If your car is built, shouldn't it still ship? Or do they not do any shipments while the plant is closed as well?
I would think dealers should have been aware of this and able to inform customers BEFORE they ordered.
...but the question remains, would I not have ordered at the time I did, had I known about this...tough choice as I'm ready to switch cars, but I may have waited until next summer to make a purchase. Of course I had asked about GT500's when I ordered and they said they couldn't even make an order for those at the time, so I feel really bad for anyone who was set on one of them.

If you look back in this thread, you will see that information about the intended Flat Rock plant idle was published back in the spring, meaning several months back. Also, the question about whether completed cars will still ship during this July plant idle was answered in the affirmative. Our dealer was aware of this and told us to anticipate 8-12 weeks between date of order and an ETA. We ordered 6/5, have a 7/29 blend date, and an ETA of 8/23.

..I am fortunate, as My order has proceeded fairly quickly, but my dealer advised a few days ago that the production date will not be until the first week of August. I'm just hoping the modifications to the Flat Rock plant do not introduce any delays as any new processes come on line. Time will tell.
Picked it up a few hours ago !!! The long wait was worth it !!! I ordered on 4/11 and it finally showed up late yesterday.
My dealer honored the agreed upon $500 below invoice price and they also honored my $750 coupon which had expired on 5/8, on top of the $1500 rebate in my region.
Also, a huge Thank You to Deysha for all the updates along the way !!!

Hello everyone! I've been doing a lot of reading on this forum for the past couple of months, very helpful info throughout! I haven't had a car in years, much less a fast one, lol. I've been holding out for a long time, but finally broke down and ordered a GT. I had a '98 Cobra a decade ago, loved it but thought I was done with cars.
The weather finally cleared up here in Michigan so Lyla got her first bath and a couple coats of Zaino. I wouldn't let the dealer detail her so she had been dirty since I picked her up the other day. She was happy to be cleaned up and to get out of the garage and stretch her legs today.

Hello all, first time posting here. Just wanted to add mine to the list, '14 GHIG base GT with Brembo's. Ordered 5/28/13 but haven't heard anything from my dealer. Hope it gets here soon I have a beefcake special paxton, longtubes & orx, SVE drifts, sportline springs, gt500 spoiler and flowmaster American thunder axle backs waiting to go on and it's about to drive me crazy.
