I can’t wait to start to see these on the streets!

 

[Ninjak]

They will be nice. Interested to see how they match up with the GT500. How far will the updated platform get ahead of the older one?

When did you order your DHSC? Who told you it would be scheduled last week?
If your car is scheduled for production, you would have the VIN.

 

[Snoopy49]

Until you get a VIN, there are only 2 ways of tracking your order. Your dealer or Ford Performance Racing.

Ford Performance Racing
1-800-367-3788 - Option 1
You will need your Sales Code and Order Code, these are on the Preview Order your signed when you ordered the car or the DORA (Dealer Order Receipt Acknowledgement), you will have to ask your dealer for a copy.

Dealer - then he stated it wasn't going to be. Now, it's in Previewing Mode I'm guessing it didn't pass through constraints and got kicked back to unscheduled. Now it's back in Previewing.

How the Preview Status Fits into the Build Process

• Unscheduled: Your order sits in the dealer's order bank but hasn’t been flagged or reviewed by the factory.
• Previewing: Ford evaluates the order to see if it fits within your dealer's specific model allocation (the number of orders a dealer is allowed to schedule in a given period). It checks to ensure your selected options aren’t on constraint (parts shortages).
• Scheduled: If your order passes the preview checks and is selected, it receives a VIN and an assigned build week or build day.

Pretty sure that dealer isn’t being up front with you. I never heard of a “previewing” stage. And if there was a “previewing“ stage then I’m pretty sure it would happen before your order becomes “unscheduled-clean”. The dealers don’t really have much more information on when your order will get scheduled until they get your vin. The common estimate is that orders will begin to get scheduled sometime between 5/28-6/11. But this is just estimates

It is to early to go through the previewing stage (which is a internal status). Which you have explained.

In Order Processing - Unscheduled - Clean
The order has been received, successfully edited, and is awaiting scheduling action.
This happens after your dealer submits the initial order. That order is checked for any mistakes and if mistakes are found the order is returned to the dealer for correction. Once the order passes the test, the order goes to Unscheduled - Clean

I’d expect to see some trickle out around June/July and ramp into September.

I certainly hope your right, I am sure that Ford would love to start building DHSCs as soon as possible. I am looking forward to seeing members , including myself, get scheduled for production.

I think we are probably looking at sometime between August and October, but I hope your right.

Well at this point I don't agree with you because as stated above and in this paragraph below is quoted from Mother Ford re: their order process which clearly indicates a previewing stage

I don't agree with him either. It generally goes like this...
