For all inquiring minds...
I have 1 GT500 allocation for my store, and I purchased 6 more from other stores. It's hard to say how the carbon fiber package will pan out, since they're all different stores, and not from just mine. It would be hard for me to convince Ford that 7 out of 7 (100%) of my allocations need the carbon fiber package...however it is much easier for 7 dealers to convince Ford that their 1 allocation needs it.
At this point I have all 6, soon to be 7, prospective buyers tied to a specific dealership (where I got the allocation from), and if that dealer pulls a carbon allocation, they will get one if they want it...if the buyer chooses to forgo the option, I would contact other buyers that want the carbon fiber that either didn't get an ok for one, or haven't heard yet and work something out.
My goal, every one gets the EXACT car they want. We'll see how it shakes out. Like I said, I have a lot better shot of going 7 for 7 than a larger store who has all the allocation through their own store.
