Yeah!! My GT is finally here

My dealer called this afternoon and said my GT was off loaded the rail car and on its way by auto transporter. I went over to the lot after work and just missed them unloading it. The car is pretty dirty from sitting at ramp 51, ramp 5P, rail car, and finally sitting at East Brookfield off load facility for almost 2 weeks it was still a great sight to see.
Sales guy got the key to check things out. Had 17 miles on the odometer, and at idle it has a sweeeeeet sounding note, like a muffled growl. Compared to my 93 with Bassani's, this 5.0 its just plain quiet..... until you get into the throttle. Then the growl gets real loud, the heads start to turn and you can't help but smile.

Prepping and cleaning will be tomorrow while I'm at work. Right after work, I'll take delivery!!!

ordered 1/22
built 4/15
delivered 5/27

Yup, it's like a land slide, starts out slowly and starts to pick up momentum and then suddenly the whole side of the mountain starts tumbling down.

17 miles? WTF?

I told my salesman that NOBODY drives it. Instructed him to not even fill it up with gas.

Seems like the ones that were on hold are showing up with a few miles on them so they were probably driven at AAI for whatever they were being held for.

Perfect, absolutely perfect! Finally someone has 3.55 gears!!

I am excited for you! I hope you are not disappointed by it, sure seems like many people are doing much complaining about the new cars. I will gladly take them off of your hands......








That's what I thought.

Congrats!!! I'm a person that never buys used unless I have to (i.e. buying a Lightning in 2009) and IMO 17 miles is nothing. I usually buy my cars as model year leftovers and they sometimes have ~100 miles on them (like to dump those savings right into mods, yeah!!!) and never had a problem yet Enjoy your new ride!

I downloaded the window sticker and zoomed in and noticed the highway mpg is rated from 21-31 mpg. This is great. More power, better mileage, smoother ride, quieter ride. Way to go Ford.

My friends growing up would tear on a car just running up and getting gas for it. They would have a blast with this new GT. That's just how it is.
