As I'm sure most of you know, I was somehow granted title of the luckiest son of a bitch in the Mustang community the other day.

I'm hoping maybe someone can tell me how to tell the order of production. I'd assumed it's based somehow off of the VIN.

Also, is there any way to determine if my car was indeed the FIRST consumer order recieved?

What about a four corner weight with full gas update? It would be nice to know actual weight of a base gt500 w/ recaros.:idea:

The last thing I ever saw/heard was that the car had a schedule date of 5/7. Weeks before that I'd been told the car was hot tagged.

That's it.

I tried to stay pretty hands free with the whole process.

Did you ever get a delivery date or did it just show up?

My car showed up 2 days after OP, the day it was delivered, delivery date was still TBD.

Had to use an in the plant source to find out where it was.

Pretty much, if your car is being shipped via convoy- your car "should" be along 10 days after your build date.

Rail- depends on where in the country you are.

That sounds about right, I think I called Wednesday or Thursday and the lady on the speaking-device said no date scheduled for delivery.

Large landscape facilities? :??: lol

Here is where I live:

DeKalb County, Indiana - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fort Wayne is a few miles south, but I haven't been there since I bought the car. I'm actually still on my first tank of gas. Just under a quarter.

I tried launch control again tonight as well as the 'track use only' 0-60 timer...

something didn't work right,,,told me 9.3 :rockon:
