Finally decided to take the plunge on a new SS650, but I can't find a base model/manual in our state--when will it be too late to order?

[MMM981]

Hello all
I've been on the 550 forum for 10 years since we pick up a manual Ecoboost--which has run like a clock--and after having driven the '25' GT base , my wife and I decided it was time to get one.
Unfortunately there are no manual base cars with the 301 pkg in Carbonized Grey locally and my dealer can find anyone to trade with him.
So, the only way forward would be to order the car we want which then raises the question of when the '25' MY build cycle will end.
From other threads is look like getting a build scheduled takes about 4 weeks and the another 4 weeks to get it built--does that sound right?
If so that's getting close to what the historic change over to the next MY might take place so my order might get kicked into the '26" MY with then the uncertainties of pricing and product changes.
Would appreciate thoughts on how to proceed as we get close to the end of the MY.
thanks

Order it. It should easily get built as a 2025. If it doesnt and you don't want a 2026, don't buy it. Simple. Waiting to order won't help.

I know for a fact they are still taking orders and scheduling 25s this week. If you want one get your order in TODAY.

As the other guys said, order now. You could also try reaching out to a couple other dealers/expand your search area.

I have a base GT 6 speed, make sure you get the active exhaust. You won’t be disappointed

I heard someone's HeGoBoom went BOOM , and they slapped a new Coyote engine in it along with complete exhaust. Maybe a different intake instead of the double intakes are used. I'm facing the same dilemma with Little Wifey. She loves her car but needs more power, and I can't seem to find a supercharger for the S650 HeGoBoom. She has a top of the line Ecoboost PP fully loaded, including GT350 half shafts and wheel hop kit.
