Default Ordered 2010 GT500 - How long?

Hey - new to the forum. Would like up to date info on how long it takes to get a new GT500. I did search the threads but the info I found was somewhat outdated. I ordered mine on 8/4 and the dealer is saying 4 - 6 weeks for delivery. From what I've seen online this seems unlikely. Anyone have any recent info or experience they can share? Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the info cheftjpeck. I'm hoping to have the car in September. I can't handle waiting. BTW - Not only am I new to the forum I'm new to Mustang. I've owned a ton of cars and trucks over the years but never a Mustang. In fact the only Ford I've ever owned was a 2001 F150 Lightning. I loved it. Have also owned six different Corvettes but thought it was time for something different. Drove the new GT500 and it was FUN!

Anyone out there who's ordered a 2010 GT500 in June or July? Thanks again.

8 weeks sounds more likely.

have they assigned you a vin# yet? if they did then it could be as little as 4-6 weeks.

No VIN# that I'm aware of. Order was placed 9 days ago. How long does it typically take to get a VIN? Is there any way to get information related to my order other than through my dealer? Dealer says they don't know anything yet, other than the order was placed on 8/5. I would think they would be able to see some sort of order status or something.

If I can't get the car by beginning of Oct I may cancel and wiat for the 2011. It would just be sitting in storage November - May anyway.

The dealer called today and gave me my VIN #. He said the "order was sent to the plant". Couldn't tell me anything more than that. At least it's more than I knew before. Anyone know how long once a VIN is assigned?
