Done.

Thanks for the feedback I won't be ordering the Shaker Pro or the car cover.

Your welcome man. And regarding the car cover, I haven't even taken it out of the box, nor will I. I've read to many things on here that it's a pretty cheap cover that does not have the nice microfiber inside (or something else that's smooth).

Between Shaker Pro and the car cover, it looks like we saved you almost $1700! :banana:

I don't think the order banks are open for the 14 yet, I know your dealer can input it into the system, but the 500 is not a Job 1, so not sure when it will be able to take the order. I am also waiting for order bank to open.

Order banks opened Nov 12th. Lots of people have already ordered 2014 GT500's and have received their Vehicle Order Confirmation sheets. Scheduling doesn't start until Dec 17th.

Like snoopy said- the order banks have been open for over a week now.

It won't be built til late march at the earliest- but you can order one now.

Update;
I called SVT yesterday and they confirmed receiving my order on 11/9. The guy I spoke to was very friendly and he took the time to read all my options back to me. No scheduled build date yet. As others have said scheduling can be very random, but mostly due to the dealers allocation and the availability of certain options. I'm not in a huge hurry due to the weather around here but it's good to know I'm in the system.:banana:

Glad to hear that SVT can confirm your order, but it makes me wonder why no schedule date yet? I ordered my 2014 a month after you did (from a very small dealer with NO pull) and the car is being built on 3/11, with an estimated delivery date of 3/29. Have had my VIN for around two weeks already, IIRC. :shrug:

Just like last year. There is no rhyme or reason to scheduling

The person I spoke to mentioned that options selected can influence scheduling. This does seem reasonable.

My car came in Saturday 4/20. :banana:
Here's a summary of the time line;
Ordered 11/09/12
Scheduled 4/1/13
Production 4/3/13
At rail yard 4/9/13
Shipped as of 4/11/13
Dealer ETA 4/20/13
I have to admit that based on past delivery histories on here I didn't expect my car until early May. I picked the car up Monday, delivery went smooth. Car came off the transport with 9.2 miles on it and wasn't even very dirty. I'll post pics as soon as I can get home before dark to take some. Thanks to all on here for sharing your ordering and delivery experiences for these cars.

Congrats Brother, just in time for the warm weather! Not only do we have very idential looking cars, they took just about the same length of time from order to delivery! I guess they take their time on the DIB/white stripes/glass roof cars since they are the best looking. :rockon: Can't wait to see some pics.
