Finally stopped by the dealership and saw their future inventory. My scheduled production date moved from Jan 24 to Feb 21, delivery Mar 6.

Funny you should ask because I'll be on a business trip to the other side of the planet until the end of February starting pretty soon. Hopefully that'll take my mind off of this darn car! I'll be counting on you guys to document the heck out of the media day that's supposed to occur on the 21st.

My original delivery date was Feb. 5th. It has been bumped back to March 7th now. Maybe the snow will be gone by then!

Just a heads up for those having their Boss built in the first few weeks of production. Once the first ones are built, they get moved to the back of the parking lot and wait for the "OK To Ship". Once that OK is given, the cars at the front of the lot that were just built get shipped first. Those that were built first and were put in the back of the lot get shipped once they get caught up. I've seen it happen every time there are major changes made. So it's usually better if you're in the 3rd or 4th build week and not the first couple.

mysterious ways...

that's something to hope for...

perhaps they should give priority to cars being delivered to sunny climates, where they'll be driven day 1.

after reading the owner's manual supplement, it sounds as if there's really only 100 mile period where you can't use 'full open throttle'....

Well that's a topic all in itself. The infamous break in period. Here's a good read to totally contradict what the owner's manuals say is the "right way" ...

Yea I'd like to get some discussion on this. I used this guy's method on my GT500 as have several other guys I know including BMW owners, Vettes, etc. I've never seen a break-in period written the way it is for the Boss, so I am curious. They've certainly tested this motor thoroughly so maybe following the supplement's recommendations is the way to go?
