I grew up in Murrysville and now live in Forest Hills. Both east of down town. I also did not really want to get the car until spring, but I wanted to get the order in asap after hearing some guys waiting months to get their order. I never really considered shortages on materials. Well, hopefully we'll all have ours by the beginning of May.

 

No way? Haha so you know where Hermitage is then?

 

Sent mine, let me know if you don't see it.

 

I contacted my dealer. Build date for the car I ordered was 2/7/13. The dealer told me that it was supposed to arrive last Saturday 2-16-13. He can't tell me where it is. I pm'd Deysha, haven't heard back. Does anyone have any other advise on how I can find out where the car is? I don't want to keep bugging Deysha.

 

Insist that your dealer provide the rail car number on which your car is being transported. There is a posting earlier in this thread that details how to use a voice response system with CSX (all rail cars leave Flat Rock on CSX, even though they may be switched to a BNSF train if headed west). You call the number and respond to the prompts and get an automated voice message that tells you where the rail car is.
That aside, Deysha is cool and put up with my bugging her until I was able to follow the car myself. Even then she was still providing updates. I am really excited about getting my car, but I'll miss these exchanges with Deysha. She's a wonderful lady who represents Ford well.

 

Deysha dear Please tell me some good News, You guy's are killing me, I'm still waiting for ford to get it rolling from the dealer, 2 months and still not in the line yet, AHHHHHHHH.

 

I would have no idea where to begin on my first impressions. This is my first 2-door coupe, my first V-8, my first "sports car" and first "expensive car".

I'll start with my gripes first just to get those out of the way. I am used to sitting in either a hatch back or a truck, so visibility is an issue right now. I'm not the tallest guy so seeing what i want over the hood (i.e. the front of the car) or out the back/side windows is a little unnerving when switching lanes and backing up right now. I also am having a hard time finding a comfortable position in the drivers seat. My gas/brake leg is getting fatigued while driving... like i have to hold them in the correct location. Clutch leg is fine... i am just chalking it up to finding that "sweet spot" in the seat adjustment.

As far as the rest, I am amazed. The look, feel, smell, and sound just sitting in the cockpit is amazing. I am also finding myself shifting too soon just because i am not used to the sound of this monster. 4krpm is not the rev limit... though it is for right now because i wet myself when i go beyond that. I know a lot of people knock the basic sound system, but i think it sounds amazing. Coupled with the touch-screen/nav system i can't see myself wanting to upgrade any time soon. I guess that carries on to the rest of the car too. Why upgrade the performance when i can't even handle what it has right now? Once i find the limits i will go from there. There is just too much to describe other than "Andrew likey, Andrew likey!!"

**edit**

One more gripe, i have a hard time getting the car into 3rd until the RPMs drop some. I have "missed" the gear several times where i have just had to hold the clutch in and attempt multiple times. I never seemed to have this problem on my VW GTI which was a 6-speed in this exact configuration. Also shifting into reverse is crunchy. I'll give it time to break in some before i consider trying an aftermarket shifter.

 

I feel the same way as you do. Ordered 1/7/13 and still nothing!! Not scheduled. There are about 50 2014 Mustang GT at dealers within 100 miles of me. I am about to search the local inventory and just buy one of those. The factory order process makes little sense to me and I am worn out with the whole process. Almost like a bad omen from the start.

 

You ordered 1/7/2014?

 

This is only an educated guess, but I am guessing that your dealer has no allocations for Mustangs in the near future. That seems to be a key issue. If he has no allocation, Ford won't build one for him. I would go back to my dealer and insist that they tell you about their allocations for Mustangs. The only other thing that comes to mind is the possibility that there is something in your order that Ford does not have - what my dealer called a commodity constraint. Ford won't schedule it if they don't have the parts to build it. Lean on your dealer to get the straight scoop. Good luck.

 

Well gentleman, my mustang is being born today! Lets hope all those fabulous workers had a very relaxing non eventful weekend and are well rested today!

 

Joey - Your car doesn't get built from start to finish in one day, so I hope they all got a good night's sleep all last week, just to be safe.

 

This waiting is unbearable. I sent in my PM Deysha let me know something so I dont go insane lol!

 

Some new pics... need to go do a real photo shoot.

 

^ Wow! Nice pop on that paint!

 

Actually I think it does, mine had a set day and the evening of said day it was waiting for a train. Could be wrong.....

 

I understood that the build date is the date they finish building it. Mine had a 2/11 build date and the status on 2/6 showed in the body shop.

 

Hello Deysha,

Sent you my order details.

Thanks,
Steve

 

Looks AWESOME Sieran! Seeing that paint POP in the sun is something I can't wait to do!

Update your sig with the delivery date and fix the color name!
