I assumed you tried Beach Ford? I'm surprised no one could give you a definite answer. They are usually on top of things when it comes to Mustangs.

LOL, yep. I'm gonna swap wheels/tires/springs/axleback.
I'm undecided on the stripe, but I plan to stay with the black on black look. I ordered another base GT, but with the 3.55's this time.

Most folks won't even realize I got a new car, hahaha.

BTW... Threadjack...I plan to sell my JLT/SCT3 within the next few weeks, if anyone is interested.

Because telling you information like this doesn't help them sell the 2010s sitting on their lot.

well beach ford was the best, but still not what I was looking for. They told me they are not sure when I can order, but to expect them this spring. Which doesn't help me since thats a 3 month window. I plan to buy through them as they have been the best and most helpful. Plus that dealership is freakin sweet. Must be 200 cars sitting on their lot and that glass dealership with the cafe and media room is cool too. Simple things amaze me lol.

Very true. You would be amazed at the crap most sales people will tell you. I remember a couple of years ago when I was looking to buy my wife's car that I called around to all the dealerships within a 50 mile radius to find the color combo we wanted. She wanted black on tan. I called this one dealer and the girl there tells me Black was not available any more. I clarified that she meant they didn't have any on the lot, and she says "No, I mean they aren't making that model in black any more, but I have a beautiful white one here for you." Yea, sure, I hung up after that. A couple of calls later I found the color combo we wanted and fairly close to where we live.

I had a dealer tell me today that August was the earliest they would see any! By the way, anybody seen the "race red"? Wonder how it compares to the candy red and also the bright red. I've seen the pictures on the internet, but pictures of the same car look very different!

I remeber the deaer I bought my car from. I asked him about the 5.0. He said he hasn't heard a peep. Then 3 weeks later ford anounces it officially. When I went to get my oil change they guy wouldn't even look at me. I guess he thinks I am ticked at him. lol.


Back to the OP, If you are wanting to run into a dealership when the first '11 hits the lot then you better bring plenty of lube... your gonna need it.
