Hi everybody, this is my first and only forum I have ever joined. So go easy on me. I have been reading this forum for a couple months though, and I finally ordered my GT/CS. I went with Black, Black/Dove, 3.55, IUP, Charcoal dash, and the manual. I kept it pretty simple, this isn't my daily driver, just my "pleasure vehicle" as my insurance company calls it. As with others I that I've read, I may be in for a long wait. Two dealerships both said it would be a long wait because of the wheels. One told me that they come on only 8% of the Mustangs. But there is snow on the ground here in Iowa so I am not too concerned....yet.
Any helpful hints or pointers are welcome. Thanks!

Expect about 8 week for your car. The wait is the worst part

Welcome and Congrats! I too am waiting for my gt/cs. Ordered on Dec.28th and still no vin and production date
. Was told monday its because of shortage on 18" polished wheels also. Right now im very upset with ford, I cant believe there not building cars because of a set of wheels. Its hard to be patient when you know this is why your cars on hold. I went with vista blue vert ,iup charcoal,app. package,cloth top,and all other options except shaker 1000.Post back if you get any info. Until then all we can do is hope.

I just talked to my buddy that works at the Ford dealership here in town. He said they just got a set of the 18" wheels in for a customer. So he decided to check on ordering more and found out that there are 120 in the warehouses right now. 25 alone in Chicago. But for some reason there is a hold on them on new cars.

I do have a couple of questions for you-
Has your car been serialized and given a VIN yet? If your car is still 'clean and unscheduled' maybe you can change your wheel choice and get the car built and go aftermarket for new wheels.
I have 18" deep-dish chrome bullitts on my car and IMHO they look alot better then the 18" polished wheels Ford offers.

I drive my GT/CS as a daily driver and I have to admit that the traction control works awesome in the snow. I've got a stick and if you start in second you can mat it and the computer takes over everything. You would swear it was just like auto-pilot.
Cheers!
