Unless something changes in the next couple of weeks my car will be the first Boss I see, I heard there was one at a Tampa show but I was not around for that. Nothing else (show) is scheduled down this way for a long time. No biggie I know what I wanted and got what I wanted I have a strange feeling I will not be disappointed.

 

The way it's been going, I might c the boss at the NY car show in April. I can't get anything from FCS or my dealer.

 

I "ordered" mine on April 9th.
I expect it will be a full year before I take delivery.

 

You're doing better than me then. Wheels are here. Brake pads and fluid are here. Watts link is here. Ordering steel braided brake lines this week. Ordering c/c plates this week. I need help!!!!

 

My list so far:
Transmission cooling scoop
Brake ducts
Trackey
iPhone holder (gps)
iPod
Sa2010 helmet
Garage opener

 

I'm going to order the brake cooling kit and Trans cooling scoop, but they're not up yet.

What are you ordering for a garage door opener? I have a quote for the GT premium auto dimming rear view mirror with Homelink and ambient for $450 installed from my dealer, but haven't pulled the trigger yet. I have two garage door openers at home and one at the office so will probably buy it even though it's totally non-performance.

 

Which iPhone holder are you looking at? Any recommendations on the iPhone GPS? My helmet is also out of date and I'll need a new one before I hit the track. The local indoor Kart track does not check the Snell date.

 

Just a simple opener to clip on the visor. GPS app is MotionX. Holder is from ProClip.

 

If you need GPS holders, automatic dimming mirrors, and garage door openers you are totally missing the point of this car.







....

 

Still have to get it into the garage.

 

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

 

Open the door old-school. It's called a "handle". That way you can appreciate the sweet music of the engine while you open the garage.

I'm being sarcastic btw. I'm regurgitating some of the cliches thrown out when I brought up the point about the Boss being unavailable with the EP and other options. (which is why I'm passing on one.) I find it ironic when the '12s are available with built in openers and dimming mirrors and GPS when they could be offered on the Boss, seeing that half the people buying them will end up doing it aftermarket anyways...

 

You should've gone to the Homestead Ford 400 like I did last Nov. Below are some photos I took of the YB Boss.

 

This car represents a cheap track car for me. I was considering cars that were much more expensive until it became available. My DD is a BMW which spoils me with all the goodies. I just need to be able to drive it to the track, have a ball and drive it home.
I don't want a trailer, a crew, or extra wheels and tires.

 

Lol figured you were based on your Surgeon General's warning! It pains me to spend $450 for a non-performance part like a rear view mirror just to get the garage openers. But given the Boss will split time as my daily driver with my GT500, plus be riding on a trailer 1 or 2 weekends a month to track events, I don't want to mess with 3 separate openers. Going into and out of the office garage to see clients several times a day or running errands or go joyride on the weekends means a lot of pulling on the "handle". Not to mention, three openers hanging from the visor is a bit distracting for "spirited" driving .

 

Just received this from my salesman this morning.

the Mustang is in the home stretch, here's what I know, It is finish and at the body shop I think they are putting on the stripe.

:b anana:

 

FYI not to be a killjoy but your salesman may be "misinformed". When Vehicle Visibility says that the vehicle is in the "Body Shop" it means that the body of the car is being welded together. There are a few Bosses I've seen today "in Body Shop". Striping is either done in house or at VPC ( the Vehicle Personalization Center). if the latter the VV record would say Produced then Shipped to VPC.

But yes, it IS making progress....

 

Matt, approximately how many days is the build to ship process?

 

Generally speaking, without knowing AAI's layout. hours or launch procedures, a day to get through body and paint and a day to trim out. This is under the assumption that the vehicle checks out and there are no assmbly repairs needed which could delay release to shipping by hours to a couple of days depending on circumstances ie part availability, repair area backlog etc. When all checjs out the car is released to shipping. Shipping is up in the air as there is no " ok to buy " that I've heard yet; were it normal circumstances shipping could occur right away to a over a week depending on the zone you live and the availability of railcars/ transport trailers. Also in-between production and shipping to your dealer is any trips the car needs to make to VPC.

 

Ps sorry for the typos my fingers aren't dainty enough for speed typing on an iPod lol
