Default For those who ordered your GT 5.0: How long did it take?

Put in the order on October 20th. They said 6-8 weeks. Just wondering how long it took for all of you to pick up your car at the dealer?

6-8 weeks is the generic response that ford dealers hand out. Mine took 14 weeks but it really varies overall. Some people are lucky and get one in 5-6 weeks, and some are unlucky like me and wait 14. It's a wonderful crap shoot welcome to the game.

You get a VIN? If you got a VIN which you should have by now....you can call a 1800 number and avoid the dealers lies.

It took Three Months for me to get my GT, almost to the day.
White with red interior, glass roof, fancy wheels and pedestal spoiler.
Oh,and it came with THE WORST manual trans on the planet at no extra charge.
