like the title says, does anyone know when the order banks for the 2021 500's will open up?
.So school me on this. I've never understood how people order a car. Do you just go to your local dealer and say I wanna order a GT500? Do you get to pick each option as you want? Do you put down a deposit?
Always been curious the actual process for those that have ordered cars.

I'm on the other side of the fence, don't understand how people just go to a dealership & buy " whatever " they have on the lot ??
usually the problem (from an enthusiast perspective) is when dealers order a specialty vehicle for stock, they load them up. They know they are going to sell the few that they get, so they check all the boxes. They also usually order the colors they know will sell. This is why almost every Raptor you see is a Black super crew.
Yep.
From a dealer's standpoint, if you're ordering a vehicle for stock that you know will sell... you want to put every option on it.
A base GT500 with no options has less than $3,000 mark up. A loaded one has about $4,500.
For sure! Of course, my local dealer has 3 GT350s in stock..and all have the $2000 electronics pack (BLIS, NAV, B&O 12 speakers) and $495 sofa seats. Not exactly the configuration someone with track use in mind would spring for. Recaros are a must on this car IMO.

The Recaro seats are standard on both GT350's, the Leather-trimmed with Miko® Suede Sport Seats are a $495 option.
Its the opposite on the new gt500 I believe, the heated and cooled are standard and the recarros are a $1500 option?
Makes no senseYou believe correctly.
Strange how you have to pay $495 plus your Recaro seats for seats that come standard in a 2020 GT500 and an option for the GT350, but you have to pay $1495 plus your standard seats for the Recaro seats as an option for the GT500.
