[QUOTE="AustinSN, post: 16374590, member: 159453"] I don't know if there is any actual truth to it, but when I got my RS I had read that Ford purposely doesn't do a first-come, first-served allocation process to help curb ADMs. The idea was if the dealer had no idea when the car would be built, then they couldn't sell an allocation as "the first one in the state or country". I will say though, when I contacted Nick about one, he told me he had no allocation, but called me back maybe the next day and said if I wanted to put in an order I could and he would see if it would stick. I was several months behind the initial ordering process and I got my car probably 3 months before Matt Farah did, who was guaranteed by his dealer to "have the first one". I ended up keeping my mouth shut about it because I was catching some flak from early adopters. After going through the process it seemed more to me by location than anything else. With the cars being built in Germany and shipped over, the east coast was definitely the first to get their cars. One guy I know flew out to Newark IIRC, to pick up his car and drove it back to Colorado. He was the first car within the state as far as I know and mine ended up getting to Nick's place probably a week before any Colorado cars hit lots. I have no idea on the accuracy of this, but I am reasonably confident when it comes to ordering a new special Ford, you won't receive the car in the same order the car was submitted. [/QUOTE]
