The dealer says that my GT has been built and is sitting at ramp 5T. So they're still building something this week!

Yes!!! Window sticker showed up today! Now, question: is there any meaning behind the color of the sticker? (i.e. Blue vs yellow). Mine is blue but Ive seen others that are yellow perhaps these delays will give all of us cars with perfect MT82 transmissions.

I spent my lunch looking at satellite photography of the Mustang factory on Google maps. The address is 1 International Drive, Flat Rock, Michigan. All kinds of interesting stuff to see like the place where they load the rail cars and their test track.

It gives a little context to our cars and kills a little time while we're waiting on them.

I meant to say "next week". That is the delay everyone is seeing. Including my candy red GT.

Any citation for this, such as a link or some news article? Deysha from Ford Customer Service just stated earlier today production was rolling again.

Are you trying to April Fool us?

Thanks.

To quote the original article:

"In addition to the Kentucky plant, Ford said it is also idling its Flat Rock, Mich., plant for one week starting Monday. That shutdown is in response to building Mustang inventories. The auto maker had more than 116-days worth of supply at the end of March, far above the 60- to 80-day supply it traditionally keeps."

http://www.marketwatch.com/story/for...nts-2011-04-01

Unfortunately, that appears to be the reason everyone's build date has jumped from 4/4 to 4/11. Let's all hope this is the only production delay we see.

Well look at it this way, it'll give them a chance to build lots of engines next week!

The biggest hold back to getting scheduled will be dealer allocations and commodity issues (missing parts).
