This is my first time ever dealing with Ford ordering a car. However I have seen people talk about how long they have waited for the Bronco and Mach 1. With some people waiting years. Now I see where ford have sent out emails about delays and have closed the plant.

Now with that being said, what do you think the realistic chance that people even get an S650 eco or gt before August? Because this is starting to look like a super late fall release for just base eco and gt cars. Then you factor in the dark horse it's looking like this will be winter by the time they start making those models.

I saw there was possible fitment issues and stuff. Which means they have to get all that shit recreated by their suppliers if this is true. That means they basically fucked up and got incorrect parts and not gotta scramble to get them created and shipped. Or this could be just a bad batch or parts. Either way sounds like Ford didn't plan this through and check all their parts and seems to be stalling.
At this rate, I'm expecting to wait until 2024 before I see my car. I'm seriously tempted to buy a S197 in the meantime to hold me over.

I literally threw my hat in the ring for a different car even tho it cost Wayyyy more that the mustang DH. If those order banks open, I order and it beats the DH then that's just sad af.

For those of us in the North East, if delivery happens to late in the fall, the "performance Summer tires" that come with the performance package will have rolling temperature issues. Any quality tire manufacture will void a performance tires warranty if the tire is moving under load below 40 degrees. so hopefully they make it before then.

I don't think they can make that type of tire in the winter at all. Tbh I'd take some ps4s on the DH and be happy. I like michelin tires better. Lol by the time I get my DH, hopefully the new Ps5 tires will be out.

it'll give me time to enjoy my new 2023 Charger ScatPack Widebody before the new Mustang arrives.

Shit guys, I ordered my new company car in September 2022. It finally got built on Feb 25, 2023. Its STILL sitting in Mexico waiting to be shipped.

What car did you order for it to be sitting for over 2 months

Cool hope you get it soon.
My dealer said train space was a premium and my lowly company car was not Chevy's priority when they need trains to move more expensive vehicles. So the wait continues....

Honestly.. I hope for more delays and QC issues. I prefer it built right the first time vs trips back to the dealer for recalls. Plus, in northeast, rather than get it in September, have a month to get to know her before she gets garaged for 6 months.... Push mine till spring, I am fine with that😎

Nothing to do with the price of the car, it's a matter of RWD traction on a 100 yard uphill climb from my garage to the snow covered street. Honestly was hoping for an AWD 7th gen and I would be that asshole with snow tires on a Mustang drivin it in a blizzard
