Took forever to get mine too. I wanted a Premium with PP, Magnaride and Active Valve in Race Red (seems like a lot of them are 50 shades of gray). Hope yours arrives soon. It was worth the wait.
I use it because, 1) I am pretty new to manual shifting and 2) I want to protect the MT82 that doesn't like mis-matched rpms on the down shift and who's synchros are generally not too robust.
I'm guessing there will be mid-cycle refresh, and they are waiting to put out the order guide until the changes, any new packages and prices etc. get sorted out.
You're basically paying $5K more than a GT Premium with PP, MR and AVE to get the Tremec, extra cooling, stiffer suspension and hardened engine parts, which, other than the Tremec, mainly only helps if you track the car. And that's if you want the manual. Most of the DHs I've seen in inventory...
I placed an order for a GT Premium in late February and, after prodding my dealer a bit, got a VIN about a week ago with production to begin June 15. I originally ordered Grabber Blue but was told several weeks ago that that color was no longer an option, so I went with Race Red. I read...
$250/mo for full coverage from Amica for a GT Premium. I also have my house and other cars with them, no accidents or tickets. Excellent credit score and no kids in the house. San Diego area.
I have a GT Premium on order and the dealer called to say that Ford is not accepting any more orders for Grabber Blue and that I would have to pick another exterior color.
