With the 10R80, as well with many automatic transmissions, the chief complaint is shifting. Shift timing and shift feel. Having tuning experience with them, what one person considers a great shifting transmission, the other person will hate. Its really hard to make a calibration with shift...
I think some dealers have more clout with Ford than others. Likely the low volume dealers will get shorted as where the higher volume dealers will get priority.
I ordered my 2020 GT500 the moment the order banks opened up. Took 13 months to see the car. Other folks ordered the same spec...
I don't have a high confidence in Ford building the 24 Mustang in a timely manner. Ford is plagued with supply chain issues now. Matter of fact, a buddy of mine who is the parts manager at the local Ford dealership told me he tried to order some flexplate bolts for a customer and discovered...
I ordered a GT with the GT performance package last week. My dealer told me then the GT performance package was limited and there may be a delay on my order.
Ordered mine today. Decided to go with a regular GT vs premium GT or Dark Horse. They are selling it to me for 1% over invoice, which I thought was good.
I think the Dark Horse is an awesome mustang...but its not worth paying 15K over MSRP for. I predict there will be quite a few Dark Horse Mustangs sitting unsold on dealer lots after its all said and done. Most folks will go for a GT provided dealers don't mark them up as well.
I talked with a friend of mine who is the general manager at Ford dealership and he said there is a livestream meeting for dealers on the 20th concerning the launch of the 24 mustang.
I myself am ready to order a Dark Horse, but I have to say Ford has some serious supply chain issues. I just went by my local dealer to pick up some flex plate bolts for a 2019 Mustang and found out those bolts are on a nationwide backorder with an unknown eta. Its pretty bad when you cannot...
Forgive me if I am posting in the wrong place. I was just wondering if there was a way to check the status of my mustang in transit...meaning rail location? BTW, I did sign up on the cotus checker and that is a very nice tool.
