    Help me educate some members what a GOLDEN TICKET GT500 is

    Correct. 1aa, 1ab, 1b, and 2aa are all valid Golden Ticket configurations. They are all considered Golden Ticket cars. Think of it this way: the golden ticket "unlocks" the CFTP and painted stripe options, because Ford wanted to limit production volume of those options. Without a golden...

    Help me educate some members what a GOLDEN TICKET GT500 is

    This is very simple. I ordered a 20 GT500 with CFTP and vinyl stripes. My dealer had to have a Golden ticket to have my car get built. I know this because my normal local dealer tried to order one for me without a golden ticket allocation and the order got rejected by Ford. A golden ticket...

    Ordering/purchasing new GT500

    I'm still trying to find a Golden Ticket allocation dealer with an allocation left, or even just a dealer who had an allocation this year and would be willing to take my name for next year. I've called well over 50 dealers now and finding dealers in the upper Midwest with golden ticket...

    ADM’s COMING DOWN ???

    I was quoted ADM’s of $25,000 and $50,000 from two of the dealers I talked to this week. Several dealers are at MSRP, but finding one that’s been allocated a CFTP is maddening...

    Woohoo banks are finally open!

    Unfortunately no. The dealer’s policy was never to do anything official until allocations were released. It was never a problem before, but this selling of the dealership situation has thrown a wrench in everything.

    Woohoo banks are finally open!

    Hey guys. I’ve been religiously reading the board every day since the 2013-2014 GT500 days but rarely post. I know this is a long shot but it can't hurt to ask. After 18+ months of working with my dealer (started working with them the morning after the first teaser trailer came out at NAIAS in...

    So what is your favorite color for the new GT500

    I'm thinking Kona blue with white painted stripes. I'd love to see a photo shop of that!

    MGW GEN 2 Stiffness

    Hey guys, I picked up my car yesterday after having MPSS tires and the MGW Gen 2 shifter installed. I know a lot of you guys have had the MGW for a while, but I wanted to know if a couple of things were normal/expected. 1. The neutral position of the new shifter isn't vertical, it's slightly...

    First HPDE

    Hey guys! I read the forum almost every day, but I don't post very often. That being said, I just had to take a second and share my experience on Monday at my first HPDE. First about the HPDE itself: I ran it with a buddy of mine from work on Monday at Gingerman Raceway in western Michigan...

    First HPDE Questions/Advice

    Hey guys, I don't post very often, but read the board almost every day. Long story short, I'm thinking of going to my first HPDE ever in the GT500 at my local track, and I have some questions about some things. Any info or advice would be awesome. The car is a 2014 coupe with SVT performance...
