Have the dealer place the order at a time when it would arrive at the dealership AFTER KR allocations are known. This way, when the GT500 arrives, you'll know whether or not a KR is in your future. If the KR is a go, order that. If the KR is not a reality, the GT500 is yours!! Just don't have the GT500 arrive before KR allocations are known. This way, you can't lose!

You can bet the dealer principal will take the KR. I approached a company Ford dealer here in St Louis months after I purchased my Limited edition GT500 with Red Stripe from them; they are the largest Ford dealer in the state of Missouri and received and sold more GT500s than any other Missouri dealer. On the KR, they were very frank about the matter, ensuring me they will be getting 1 KR unit , but the General Managerhas told me he will most likely purchase the car himself. This is what they did with the first GT500 shipments they received in early in 07, now 1 or 2 of the 500s are back on the showroom floor for sale. Although it wasn't driven much(not many miles), the GM still tucked it away until they got more 500s and then he turned it loose. You can bet this Bullsh** wil occur elsewhere. Go for the 500 and play it safe. Its all a gamble...you hold the dice. ItalianStallion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even have my car yet, but I have the VIN and that is all you need to order the dash plate.
