There is a motorcycle article called 'the pace' where they describe riding at a speed where you don't use your brakes, just maintain a constant velocity where you are able to enter and exit turns without needing your brakes. That is generally what I aim for. If I want mind bending fast I take it to the race track where there are no 2 ton trucks, curbs, trees or other hazards to worry about.

Ford Perfomance verified the order is in their system.(1-800-837-2582) and the rep told me that once the order is pulled for build and the VIN is assigned and trackable through COTUS (http://www.cotus.ford.com) that the build could be anywhere from 3 weeks 3 months after being pulled and scheduled but by and larger from the date the order is placed to the day it is actually delivered with the keys in my hand is up to 6 months out. And judging by how people who placed their orders back in April for a 2016 GT350 are just now beginning to see them delivered It kind of makes sense.
BTW....if if comes after the winter...its better for me. Since I do not have winter wheels and tires to swap onto it yet. And will not have a clue as to what can fit until I actually have the car. Nor would I want it to be sitting in my maintenance building for the winter. I want to DD this ride.

I definitely will do.
Also registered for the GT350 track tour at the Pocono Raceway on May 18th.
Should have my car before then and have it on the track mid April. But, the tour will allow me to do a few laps the "R" as well.
Considering I placed my order in August 2015...
Its about damn time.

I bet you're going nuts! Worse than a kid the night before Christmas. I wouldn't be able to sleep or do much of anything other than hit refresh on the web-page to see if my car had been delivered.
I'll live vicariously through you and enjoy the excitement too.
