I dont know if it is a true or not and wouldn't know what would be realistic. It is Ford of Kirkland which is pretty big I think.
Who plans on getting a RS?

Even Galpin won't get that many allocated to them.
Kirkland is not showing any in inventory or any at the plant.
Lol, what a bunch of bull on their part. I did think 8 sounded like too much, but they are in the vicinity of Seattle and Bellevue so plenty of wealthy buyers.
I also finally got a build date and a VIN# after being selected for scheduling for 5 months: June 9. So I should see mine by Halloween if not a bit sooner. Stealth Grey, forged wheels, RS2, no moon roof. MSRP for me. Guys started receiving them last week in SoCal and this week on the East coast.

I can't wait to hear your review of this thing!!
There have been sooooo much journalist love....and yet, when I read on a forum a "regular guy" that test drove one...he was not as impressed as he was hoping.
AWD is AWESOME....but if you can mod a readily available ST, for similar fun in a DD, for 2/3 the price? Its worth investigating.
Since you're a group of guys that have driven all sorts of stuff, looking forward to your honest opinion.
There's a few videos of these cars in Europe right now and a few of them are at the strip. Fastest one I saw was running a 13.4 but I don't know if it was modded. As I had anticipated, there are rumors they will bring the limited RS500 back.
They are in the states. Someone picked theirs up on Friday!
I'd love to have one. Although I am getting great power from my Mazdaspeed 3, the RS will be capable of so much more and be able to put the power down. This... or the alluded to Bronco? Decisions... decisions.

I'm still trying to locate a dealer to order one through... So far, it seems like 5k is the mark up. I think I might just wait it out if that's the case.
Hey Nick, is it possible to still get courtesy delivery on a car that has a vin but not built and delivered to the dealer yet?
If it already has a VIN, it'd be a really big pain in the ass. Not impossible, but small chance. A lot of people would have to jump through hoops, and they would have to do it rather quickly.

I have a dealer friend that will treat you right if you're still interested. PM me if so.
PM'd.
The dealer I bought not one but TWO Raptors from offered to take 1k off the 5k mark up... :rollseyes

No luck for me with dealers in Southern Maryland. Would appreciate a point in the right direction if you could help. Also sending a PM. Thanks!
Thanks Nick.
I don't have many pictures right now, these are just a few from my phone. It will get proper pictures when it's detailed.
The car is awesome by the way, launch control is a blast, the tires on the hot asphalt actually left 4 black tire marks about 6' long. If you are cruising at the slowest pace possible, it feels like an ST, which isn't a bad thing because they are still nice cars, but if you even breath on the throttle the car tells you that it's serious.
It has infinite grip too, I'm starting to believe the writers that it is a mini-GTR/R8.. I haven't driven either but this is on another level compared to the various ST's, Mustangs and Camaros I have driven. I over cooked a turn and the car had no issues keeping me in check, it's going to require some learning to figure out how to drive it closer to the limit because it doesn't feel like it will hold but it absolutely does with no qualms. It's also not a car I would suggest finding the limit on the street.
Brakes are also awesome. Lots of stop and they are as smooth as a babies bottom.
It gets decent attention, glad I got stealth gray though, I definitely get more than I want.
Thanks again, Nick. Everything was awesome.
