Some questions about the order process as it pertains to the Shelby GT:
- Does the order in which one receives their “Vehicle Order Confirmation” (VOC) from the dealer, determine the order in which your car will be built? In other words, if I get a VOC before you, will my car be built before yours?
- What happens after one gets their VOC? Speculation on my part is that we wait until the rest of the info is in the CONCEPS order system, we add the rest of the information that is missing, if the order is complete and correct, an invoice is created, you sign a contract, the order is submitted to the factory to get built. Is this close to the process? Am I missing anything?
- What happens if my VOC has an earlier date than yours yet you sign your contract and get your order submitted to the factory before me? Who’s car gets built first?

I went into my dealer today, and this is exactly what we found out as well. He happens to be just as big as if not bigger, Mustang nut then I am, but he was unaware of 54U package in the system - that is until we tried it. Where we became confused was to where the "rest" of the package was hiding at (ie. suspension mods, stripes, engine mods, etc.) that has been confirmed as part of the Shelby GT since its unveiling.
Understandably, some of the "optional" options where no where to be found (S/Cer, brakes, fog lights, etc.) as Shelby is still working on these, but we couldn't understand why the core package wasn't yet showing. We also figured the price given ($2,140) would NOT be the total Shelby GT package price as it only lists some of the smaller mods. It also seems like some options may not be selectable, such as the 'Premier Trim w/Color Accent Package' & 'Comfort Group'. We tried both in the system and both threw an error stating that they could not be ordered. This sucks a bit as I wanted both pacakges - hopefully the system just isn't 100% up to date as of yet...I must say I'm more confused than ever before by what we found out today.
However in the end, my dealer put my order into the system as an "incomplete" order - meaning I'm locked in to today as the order date, the order itself still pending additional information before the car is released for build - which I believe is what Amy was telling us we could now do. Hopefully the options guide is released to dealers soon so we can really sink our teeth into it!

Placed two in the system today and I too am confused on the cost of the package.
Options not available per the email I got:
53b Comfort Group
54G GT app pkg
54c GT/CS (obviously)
63b Premier Trim pkg
It did not say 65a (Heated Seats) wasn't avail, but the order system said it was not applicable with the 54u pkg
Anyone else who ordered the cars notice it says 18" Black wheels?

I talked to him again today with no real updates. Looks like we'll just have to wait for Shelby/Ford to finalize all options/costs before the orders can be fully placed. I am in the CONCEPS system as of 11/13 as a retail order, so from what he tells me, I'm good to go. We shall see what the next few weeks bring, but with thoughts of rims, brakes, SCer's and more on the way, this is shaping up to be my perfect car!

05-1947, I did see it said black 18" wheels in the system...which is why there better be other "options" available soon...else I'll be selling those rims before I even get the car!
Also, my dealer told me in the CONCEPS screen, when he input the 54u package, 3.55 gears showed up on the screen. I'm wondering if this is just "prep" for Shelby to install 3.73's?
Now the question I'd have about the gears is 1.) Are they really NOT installing 3.55s at the factory, but charging us at that time and at SA they will install something else or 2.) Charging us for the 3.55s, install them at the factory, rip them out at SA, and then charge again for other gears.
We'll probably never know, but its a thought I had.
Dealer updated me again this morning, he was able to add SA as a drop ship location for final assembly, but still no further word on the goodies (suspension, engine, drivetrain mods). The package is still coming up as a $2140 package, and only with the mods that were previously mentioned in this thread.
On the lighter side, my dealer seems really worried about the stripes on the car - which is cool that he's just plain worried - but anyway, he was able to add (for trial/error sake), black stripes to a black car, but no where else does it say the car is getting stripes. I wonder when the rest of the options will be in the system...even those announced for the base car back in August! Next week being a holiday...I'm guessing not until late November/early December...

05-1947,
The reason the GT appearance package isn't available is so you can't have a good looking hood scoop. Shelby has to put the A/C Cobra scoop on the Mustang.
65 to 05 had it right about how the pricing will work. The Upfitter Package is simply the minimum options the car needs to start becoming a Shelby GT.
The 54U option is $2140.
Floormat Delete: $0
Spoiler Delete: $0
Seat Side Airbags: $380
3:55 Ltd Slip: $100
18" Alum Wheels: $850
Pony Center Caps: $85
D&D: $750
TOTAL: $2140
Everything that actually makes the car a Shelby GT is extra on top of that.

The following information was posted today in the Shelby Autos Forum...from a Ford Dealer, not a Shelby representative:
http://forum.shelbyautos.com/index.php?showtopic=305
For those customers who are upset with the slow information process, I can say that we just got our first information from Ford. In our monthly KC region newsletter, we got a copied hand out about the Shelby GT. It doesn't say much that I hadn't read on the net, but this is the first time Ford's given us anything since the inital anouncement, so hopefully more info will start to flow soon.
Highlights
Timing: Job #2 12/4/2006
Volume 6,000 units
SAE rated 319 HP
54U Package- Ford content at Mustang Plant
GT/CS based (Fascias/Side scoops)
18" Wheels- White gets Polished aluminum, Black gets new Black aluminum
Side air bags
Tire Inflator kit (ilo spare)
Bright aluminum pedals
Shelby Modifications
FR Power Upgrade package
Cold air intake
Mufflers
Premium fuel calibration
FR Handling Package
Front and rear sway bars
Tuned dampers, springs, bushings
Cross tower brace
FR short throw shifter
Upgraded rear axle (3.55 AT)
Appearance items
Hood pins and hood scoop
Shelby grill insert and pony badge
Shelby racing and body side stripes
Shelby GT Sill palte and floor mats with Shelby logo
Shelby dash plaque, underhood engine plaque
Powered by Ford fender badges.
I'm not happy at all about the black wheels on the black car...I'm not wild about that look, but that's just me.
Anyone with good photoshopping skills that wants to take a cut on the black Shelby GT with the Black Bullitts?

Actually there is some good info in that pack. Facia and scoops put on at the factory is a big plus for Quality, bright pedals and powered by ford badge instead of "GT" very nice touch, that I was not aware about. I am almost ready to order, but with the possible upgrades I might have to seriously consider this car. Does anyone have any idea when pricing is going to be available? Job #2 isn't that far off.
By the way I agree with "65", I would rather have the polished wheels with the black.

Good info here! The black wheels are nasty! The car looks way better with the polished bullits. Black wheels look OK on light colors like yellow and orange, but Black?!?! No thanks! The rest of that car looks great!

I obviously know why you can't get the gt app. pkg, but I was wondering why you could not get heated seats.
