OK but not all 17k were about minute by minute tracking updates.
Besides, most of the time is spent making sure stuff is in the house to build. The build itself was done in less than one day.

The GODS like the rest of us mere mortals have forsaken Dodge, to atone we MUST rip the 6.2L heart out of a Camaro and leave it at the peak of the highest mountain in our land.

Weren't there issues with the design of the exhaust headers during development? Just a guess but maybe there are still issues. The fact that the headers are made by a German company (Benteler Automotive) means there could also be an issue with shipping, but that might also be a smokescreen (literally). Maybe someone on the line saw a way to make installation easier/quicker if the headers were tweaked a bit.

My wife is from Iceland.
And now you know why I love Iceland.
P.S. I already asked her to call home and have them turn off the volcano (but I think they're punishing the Brits for calling them terrorists due to their bank failures).

I think the most annoying thing about all of this has been my sales rep. I originally tried to order a 2010 in December but they cancelled my order since the plant was already getting ready for the 2011s. Then we tried shopping around for 2011s but I wanted everything in it (including a glass roof). I surfed around with the Ford vehicle locater and saw that it was hard to find black, no racing stripe, V6 with a glass roof. I wanted it fully loaded but would consider doing the rest after market. Then I found out what he meant by after market. Then he proceeded to tell me how 'people don't order mustangs with x or y in them'. And I mentioned that that was amusing since the only thing I found hard to find was the roof.
Eventually I ordered a 2011, and he promised it would be done in April at the latest. I took that with a grain of salt but he used it as a selling point since I'd be sharing a car with my boyfriend till then. (My car was taken out by a tree in a storm.) He says nothing about possible delays, even runs my credit through all the banks way back in Feb... for whatever reason. He even lets me set up my insurance a few weeks ago. And, he even lets me sit down with the finance guy last week who finally is so pissed I'm more informed than him (and that I brought my father) he tells me 'bah, who knows when you'll get this car, it could be months, I never know. Call me sometime next week, maybe I'll work on the financing, I get so busy I forget about people'. ...What? Mind you this is After he hard pulled my credit once again, for a car that hasn't even touched ground.
And that's not even the half of it. So, I could care less about delays at the Ford plant. What irritates the crap out of me is how all of this has gone done as a whole.
I am not adding this to get pity, or flamed. This forum has given me more information to fight my dealer, and that is what has been actually helpful. My dealer has tried every bull **** move in the book, and from these forums and the internet I have had the papers with me to keep him quiet. Hell, he almost sent me on my way saying he would need a vin number and all this crap, when I handed him my window sticker. Then he proceeded to tell me he couldn't find it on the sheet. I asked him if he needed me to read it for him....
I mean Really.

Thanks Stinger!

What are the plans for it? Do you think the mods will be similar to the 2010 or is the engine that much different?
I have one comming as well and need to put a serious butt stomping on a 2010 Grand Sport. I would like to run low 11's.
