Interesting. I ordered my fully-loaded automatic Rapid Red GT (including NP AND stripes) more than two weeks after you did and received it 3 weeks ago.
Finance only kept me for 15 minutes since I wasn't financing, and I didn't have to sign that many forms. It was the final detailing that I assume was taking forever.
And I think my salesperson called me first and then the sales manager called me a few hours later not knowing that I already...
Didn't you get that call once before? :giggle::giggle::giggle:
Congratulations, if it is real this time.

If you want to take a nice day trip, head up the 5 to Morgan Hill (just south of San Jose) and visit The Ford Store Morgan Hill. They advertise that they never mark-up.

Who knows? Things could be different in December.
But what ameliorated my disappointment in not being able to order a Dark Horse was that I could use X-Plan pricing for a fully optioned GT.
