Well she Finally came in. To be honest I got her on Tuesday and have simply been deficient in posting the photos.

Looks great! Was yours not part of the recall?

I actually just checked your vin that you posted earlier and it is under recall. Did you take delivery? Did they fix your seat belts?

Did the dealer inspect or did Ford Engineers inspect? Mine has been sitting at the dealer all week and they say they don't know what to look at or do.

It never reached the dealer before the recall. I was listed as recalled waiting inspection.

Lookin' good sarge! I should be hearing about the GT that I have a tentative hold on that is coming in to Las Vegas sometime next week. I love that Ruby Red, AWESOME!!
Put a little tire dressing on those tires. Not too much though, you don't want them to look like a kid's toy car!

Those tires are the all seasons. Michelin pilot as3. Saving the pirellis for summer. The ruby red is far more impressive in person than a picture could ever convey.

That's the way I feel about SYNC, and the ultimate reason my garage is Ford-less. But fitment issues would be a very close second. Not unique to the Mustang, either.

Well I'm driving out of town tomorrow to pick up the same car I ordered (but with Nav). Same color with PP. Wish me luck. I'm tired of waiting. :-)

I hope I have good luck. I ordered a 2016 back in late October, scheduled to be built the week of the 9th, (This week) and hopefully get the car soon after.

Waiting on a GT premium in Guard with the dark saddle interior and the Performance Package with the silver wheels.

It all worked out. The car in Memphis was beautiful. I drove her home 300 miles and it was great! I will obviously be cancelling my ordered car in the morning.

Good luck to you all. I hope that your cars are delivered soon!

Nice oneeyedgiant!! I'm the last of us three to not take delivery yet. Your 300 mile initial break-in miles, ideal! I'll be doing 400 miles for first time drive if it works out for me next week. Any issues during that long drive home?

Hopefully you will get yours soon. the car really is a lot of fun to drive! the only "issue" with the car that I noticed was that the headlight switch module to the left of the steering wheel has a slight rattle to it. I noticed it as soon as a got on the highway. I pushed on it and the rattle stopped but it came back a few mins later. Not a big deal but I hate rattles. I have a feeling there are going to eventually be more considering how stiff the suspension is. Overall it is amazing. My wife just got a brand new Audi A4 and when she saw my car she was instantly jealous. :-)

That's great you got yours too. 300 coming home on one and 400 soon to be on yours. I will hit 417 when I get home after work. I suppose for a little bit at least we should all be near the same miles.
