I think there were 3 members on G6 that had received their VINs with Sept build dates (week of Sept 23), They were in DE, PA and FL. There was one here from FL, but he was a new member and could have come from G6.
I was told that less than 25 VINs have been assigned.
Are you saying they could create 40k wheels a year if ford would open up this option to every 500?CR has continually upped their capacity and increased production numbers through both public and private investment in Australia. Producing 1,500 CF cars is 6,000 wheels. Barely a scratch. There will be fewer R models. Name the other OEM's using CR for an OEM model...
As for their aftermarket CF wheel sales, when was the last time you heard of anyone buying a set of CF wheels from them? How many sets of those do you think they sell in the US? The number is very low.
Ford isn't limited by CF wheel production at the levels we are talking about. I've pined for a version that includes the GT4 wing along with everything else but the wheels since the moment the car was announced. Many pull them off anyway and go with a Forgeline, etc, as they are concerned with damage and replacement cost. That said, Ford would still strictly limit production of a version without the wheels too (but with the wing, etc).
I received this information from Kyle at FP.
I was hesitant to order the CF instrument panel because I was getting conflicting information. One source indicated it was an appliqué and another said it was an overlay, so I decided to go to the source for an answer.
I earlier asked him about the availability of the air oil separator and he had to do a bit of research and he got back to me this morning.
I asked him this question.
"Do you know if the Carbon Fiber instrument panel is actually a carbon fiber part or is it a metal part with a vinyl or carbon fiber overlay, wrap or appliqué?"
Here is his answer.
The panel is real Carbon as far as I know.
I have news on the Air Oil Separators.
Ford Performance Parts will offer the 5.2L GT500 separator that is found on the Carbon Fiber Track Pack available for the base car owners.
I do not have an eta just yet, this should be ready to go once cars begin to be delivered
Rookie numbers...Puerto Rico charges 28% for cars not bought there.
Well, hopefully when the car is slated to arrive and I jump onto a plane it does fall into the abyss and end up in a railyard somewhere for days on end. At that point I will feel like Capone or when Truman made the call to unleash hell on our offshore enemies.
True, except for Australia. They got us beat by 5%.It's almost like thr higher thr taxes, the bigger the shit hole.
I travel in the states a decent bit, and that seems like an accurate statement. We will be down here in TX until that gets messed up.It's almost like thr higher thr taxes, the bigger the shit hole.
Same for my 13. Talked to my Dealer when I ordered and they said that doesn't happen now.They get shipped when they are finished getting built.My 14 sat for almost 2 months in Michigan waiting to get on a rail car. Drove me nuts!!!

Well Damnit way to burst my bubbleThat dealer is kindly mistaken. Happens all the time.
You don't read very well.
1. Yes, $2k PER dealership to enroll. I don't sell enough Mustangs in a calendar year to roll for any more than 1 of each. So I purchased 7 additional allocations from other small dealerships. In order to purchase them, I had to pay their enrollment fees.
2. I will own MY allocation for invoice less holdback and sell it for MSRP. The other cars I will own five of them for MSRP and sell them for $1,000 over, and then own one car for $500 over MSRP and then the final car was purchased at $2,500 over MSRP. I also purchased the GT350s, at invoice, and am selling them for $1,000 OVER invoice. If you take ALL 16 cars (GT350s and GT500s), and average out the profits, it will fall between $500-1,000 per car.
3. No, you are not a math expert. However, I bet your math is better than your reading comprehension.
Hopefully this sheds some light on your lack of knowledge on the subject.
