Paul thanks for the update. You are right what is a couple more wks to have a perfect car its worth the wait.

Yeah you guys are right, it's just so hard to wait for such a Bad A** car as this! My wife's already tired of hearing me talk about for the last month.

I can relate. My wife hasn't complained but I'm sure she's getting tired of being told about the latest bit of minutia. She doesn't even roll her eyes when I excitedly tell her that the 2011 GT is going to have upsized front brake rotors or has a compression ratio of 11:1.

I wonder if I have any legal right to cancel my order with them and get my deposit back. Seeing as though they cancelled my Retail order and changed it to a stock order. I have no idea what they were thinking.

You can get your money back. BELIEVE ME!! That unit is technically a "Stock" unit and doesn't have your name on it like a "retail" order will be. And if they balk at giving your money back, because they have a car coming in for you, they will have NO PROBLEMS AT ALL selling that car you had ordered. Good luck.

Hey Christen, nothing I didn't expect. Ford is still not scheduling ANY retail V6 or GT orders nationally. They are still only scheduling stock units right now, for quality control. Sure, a retail could be turned into a stock unit, but that won't ensure a car getting here any quicker. That car could end up against a fence while the other cars behind it are moved first. So basically right now, its just a patient waiting game. Several extra weeks for 100% assurance that the cars are perfect is worth it.

A good example of this is the Camaro launch. I'll NEVER get the image of that Yellow SS Camaro that died due to the battery short. The car was only a few days old. If GM had produced a bunch of stock units first and did a thorough quality inspection, alot of the Camaro issues may not have happened.
