So who has ordered the new S550 Mustang?

[Dbull]

I'm biased as I have ordered CO.

I had wavered on colour choice until I saw a CO GT outside Bill Shepherds last summer. I had made the correct choice.

I've since seen an Orange ecoboost on a grey wintry day and I still love it.

Oh great because i work in a garge as a paint sprayer and have only seen a small spray out card of the colour and it can look a bit dull browny red kind of orange and every time i see a different colour mustang in person i doubt my choice of colour but there has not been alot of orange ones ordered so it should stand out i couldnt think of anything worse that driving down the road seeing another mustang driving past the same colour it has took me 2 years to save up for this car im choosing to buy it instead of paying my mortgage off lol

How old is everyone that is buying the mustang i am 33 and live in a terrest house so i will have to park it on the street outside my house

Ask him for the VIN then you can keep track of it yourself.

Its an ecoboost theres only 8 month waiting list from order to delivery i went down to my local dealer on who i ordered it off and he looked on the sytem and showed me it had a build date of 3rd jan

Interesting. I ordered mid October & was quoted 12 month wait. GT mind.

I hate to break it to you but there's more than a good chance if you see another Mustang that it's going to be CO!

Orange and red are by far and away the most popular colours.

ETA sorry, magnetic followed by orange then red.

Well that poll could be wrong because anyone could have voted on any colour its not actual fact on sales and so far in person iv see 3 black 4 red 2 blue and 2 grey and all had the custom pack with silver wheels from lookin

[Centurion07]

It could well be wrong.

Try going to the "colours" page and count how many pages each individual colour thread runs to and I'll guarantee it will mirror that poll.

[Dbull]

From looking at this site there only seems to be a couple of people ordering orange

[Centurion07]

The vast majority of people on this site aren't ordering Mustangs.

Like I said, go and count the pages of each colour thread over on 6g.com to see what the popular colours are.

It's a bit irrelevant anyway as you're not likely to see many over here at all, never mind one of the same colour.

Also has anyone drove both the ecoboost and the gt and was there a big difference between the two on paper the ecoboost is only 1 sec slower 0-60 and 2 sec slower around a lap on a track thankyou

I own an Ecoboost & had a GT on loan for 4 days. Big difference between the 2, Ecoboost is easier to drive, feels lighter, easier to handle, easier to put the power down. GT sounds great but in my opinion has too much power for a daily, it's very easy to get the backend out without even trying (the pzeros don't help there).
Love my EB, still goes 0-illegal fast enough for our roads & conditions

Can anyone give an indication of how long it takes between arriving at Zeebrugge and final delivery to the customer?

Many thanks! :-)

Mine was 29 days from arriving in Zeebrugge to being handed to me

[croyde]

Mine arrived in Zeebrugge on the 8th Dec and seemed to be turned around quickly to arrive in Southampton on the 19th but has sat there ever since. No word yet on delivery.

I reckon you will have that first week of Jan

[wilwak]

Thanks. Did you track your cars online?

What info do you need for that?

I have a number starting CF (11 digits total). Not sure what that is?

I also have an order number starting L (5 digits total)

Cheers.

No you cant track the car online, all you can do is put your VIN into Etis which will tell you everything about your car.

Thanks. I thought some people were doing it online.

I don't know my VIN yet anyway.

Finally!!!!

Just got a call. Car due at dealers tomorrow. I'm busy with work for the next few days, so I'm picking up on Monday. My sales lady sounded more excited than me

She sent me a long list of reg numbers which I studied for ages but couldn't make any of them into words or names, so just picked the one that sounded like the code for a fighter plane.

Just in time for the colder weather, hope the heater is good.

Good news, really pleased for you - you're going to LOVE it! It's such an awesome feeling driving it home - I took the long way round .... and it was a 110 mile journey anyway!

[croyde]

Cheers.

I couldn't help myself and drove out to see it. Sat in it and started the engine

Sales lady couldn't understand why I wanted the window sticker but she did remove the reg bracket from the boot so it couldn't be accidentally fitted.

Looked gorgeous in the low winter sun and no obvious panel gaps. Underseal is sprayed and prayed on the underside so even the bottom of the exhausts are covered.

Oh well, you have to climb under to see that anyway.

4 sleeps to go.
