So who has ordered the new S550 Mustang?

[Centurion07]

That GTR must've been driven by Stevie Wonder! There is no way any kind of Mustang is going to beat one of those, on ANY track. That list is laughable.

[...Mole...]

what are the waiting times looking like now?

Thinking of putting an order in for a Yellow or Black V8 to replace my S3, and although I don't mind a long wait it may encourage me to get my name down a bit quicker if its going to be some silly wait.

People have to pay a deposit shortly and I think a few will drop out then so leave your name with as many STORES as you can for a slot.

Haven't the majority of people already paid a deposit? It seems to only be the dealer you're with who hasn't taken one, looking at previous posts on here! Unless there is another one due once the order is confirmed in the US?

The first batch of Mustang production will be allocated to FordStores in Vista on Friday 1st May, 2015.
This will include the UEFA Champions League (UCL) orders, as well as the FordStores demo and showroom vehicles.

FordStores will have until Friday 15th May, 2015 to contract and amend the orders to the customer’s specifications.
...

Just wondering if anyone's spoken with their dealer today to see if we are official yet?

Funny that, I'm the same... have seen a few comments about Magnetic being dull, and fear that many of the really amazing pics of Magnetic are only in the right light, and after a huge amount of waxing.

I've always avoided red cars, but I'm actually now leaning towards Race Red (and that's even with knowing how difficult red is to look after as a colour), it just really suits this car and brings out the black splitters, wheels etc...

That was my conclusion. Cleaned, polished and under California sunshine Magnetic looks epic - over here, on overcast days (which is what we get most of) I think it will be quite dull.

My last Mustang was black and whilst it looked uber menacing, keeping it clean is a chore and it's very intolerant of fine surface scratches.

That's why I opted for DIB

Fords should be BLUE! DIB with classic ford racing stripes in white

except I'm not going to white stripe it. Not sure whether to stripe this on at all at the moment, will see whether it can be specced as an option. Maybe black stripes?

None of the TRUST NW customers have paid yet, I think its the 15th for hard spec and deposit. I have changed my mind and want a hard top DIB, stripe, custom pack, shiny wheels

Good choice (that's what I've ordered ). I was conerned about the chrome trim in the custom pack, but having seen pics it actually looks great! Definitely suits DIB. Just hope the silver wheels are 'too' silver. Gunmetal would look great, but not black on DIB (IMHO).

Some renderings of stripes here.

I think they work on some colours and not others.

The DIB is really nice, when we were driving in LA a couple of weeks ago we happened to follow a DIB V8 fastback for a few blocks and it really suited the car

All cars in Californian sunlight tend to look a bit different compared to a typical overcast UK day, but I think the blue is going to be lovely in either - definitely think there are some that won't work quite as well though.

This has been on the Ford website since they announced the prices. Always tickles me

"Click here to find your nearest FordStore Dealer where our experts will be on hand to answer any Mustang questions you have."

Ha! .... very true Thinking about it though, it may be that dealers know information that they cannot divulge at the moment. I believe today is the last day to order MY15 cars, so it could be that early next week Ford will confirm the specs/options for MY16 and UK dealers will be able to officially let us all know exactly what's happening ...... or is this just my wishful thinking?!

Hot rumour on Mustang6g at the moment is that dealers will be contacting customers next week to confirm orders and stripes and black roof are on the options list ..... just in case anyone is vaguely interested

Mine's getting a black roof; but then it is a convertible

[croyde]

Was hoping there would be more options. Should I get black stripes with my competition orange?

Been so many rumours and such a lack of info from Ford that I can't trust that price list.

If it's correct and Ford haven't made another mistake it looks like no Recaros and we are getting the MY15.
