Finally!

Jake,
Any word on the adjustable strut mounts?
Can you take a picture of the top of shock tower and see if yours looks the same as this one, looking for the alignment pin pointed out by the yellow arrow.



@Tob

Congrats that looks amazing

Snoop, something tells me his won't have it. Ford has yet to add them to the Handling Package as much as the flyer they distributed to dealers made it sound like we'd be seeing them by now included with that option (along with CFTP cars).

I figured that Jakes' car was one of the latest to get delivered and it will at least let us know one way or the other.

Hopefully I will have confirmation on the CFTP cars tomorrow, one of the other members is taking delivery of his tomorrow and with any luck I will get a picture or 2.

Why no air/oil separator?

Did not let the dealer install anything. Everything should be in the trunk.

Good to know, I thought they installed the separator on the CFTP cars at the plant.

I will be back from vacation tomorrow and will get some pics !
The dealer prepped the car today and installed the front and rear pieces.

Unpacked and prepped the snake yesterday. Removed all stickers and factory packaging, documented, detailed and installed front splitter and wickers. Today I do fine tune paint corrections before I take it in for PPF on Thursday.

Well done. His hose is pinched.

Micah, I don't know if you are aware of it but there have been dozens (my own count is up to ~40) and likely hundreds of '20 GT500's that are being delivered with a severely constricted coolant hose. From the GT500's that Ford sent to the Ford Racing School to numerous forum members that went out and verified they had the issue too - all had this problem. Flat Rock isn't interested in mitigating the issue. I know, I tried to talk to them about it.

Nobody is holding back the hose when the engine is put into position on the assembly line. It is this hose I have the arrow pointing to from a cropped snippet of the photo you uploaded.



There is a pointed fastener that runs forward through the firewall that is piercing the protective sheathing and can/will penetrate the hose itself between the firewall and the rear corner of the supercharger. It is what is holding your hose over to the right. You will need to pull the strut tower brace in order to access it. Once released, it will drop way down and then sit in the cradle designed for it. Here is an example of another recently delivered car with the same issue. You'll need to shine lights on it (like in the photo) to get a clear view. His hose is actually sitting in the cradle (most are not, such as yours).




This video explains everything very well.

Man, that is a pinched hose for sure.

WHat size is the exhaust beyond the x pipe?

I have the car getting ppf and wanted to check the hose out to be safe. Thank you very much for pointing out the obvious and fix for the issue. Will check this out this weekend.

Here ya go! @Tob @Snoopy49
