07gt500conv Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 I had a simiiar thing happen when my 2006 GT came in. We were leaving for a 4x4 weekend in Pa. on a Wednesday. Salesmen calls the day we are leaving at 8 AM and tells me the car is being delivered as we are speaking on phone. Now I start to try to figure out how to get there, sign all the papers, and get car home, get my work done and be ready to leave on vacation at 2PM. Could not do it...Had to wait till Monday.

RUFDRAFT Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 Yeah really! Sad, isn't it? I'm still hoping to drive it to Tasca...... News? You're gonna love the 5.0. My '07 with the Vortech was harder to drive. At about 4k, it was like hitting the NOS button - all hell broke loose. This one is more predictable - it pulls strong up top - but it doesn't have that OMFG boost! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilmor Posted August 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 No Mustang yet, but our vacation will be shortened. My poor little daughter slipped on a rocky sloped corner with her bike and broke her wrist :-( We spent yesterday afternoon in the ER, that was different!

ilmor Posted August 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 I'm sorry to hear that Bob, hope she's ok and heals quickly. Thanks, Laurie. She's doing fine; just getting used to having a useless arm for awhile! Fortunately, it is the least severe type of fracture, where the bones are actually bent but not cracked. I had not heard of this before, but understand that it's fairly common with younger children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyGJ Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 +1 I've had to carry my 13 yr old daughter off the soccer field after a massive collision to get her to the car. ER visits are never any fun. Glad to hear that she is going to be 100% in a short while and sorry that you had to cut the vacation short. Here's to hoping the new car puts smiles on EVERYONE's face!

ilmor Posted August 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Ouch!!! Daughter is feeling better. Today we had to visit two more medical facilities; orthopedic & radiology. There is a crack in one bone, but no re-setting or surgery required (whew!)...and the cast will be put on next Friday... Returning to topic... Per my dealer yesterday..."The vehicle status still shows car, " In Transit Received - R 21 (United Road Service ) Ramp 41, Newark, NJ Aug-22-2012, 00:00 ET". This is the truck transport company that will deliver the car to the dealership. I usually get a "heads-up" when it leaves the rail yard and truck starts out on road, I have not receive a message yet. As the cars come off the train and transitions to ground transportation they make sure all trucks are full for delivery before coming to dealership. I would hope to see your Mustang any day now (I need a message from them!!), this weekend, not sure at this time. I'll watch and hopefully I get a "in-transport to dealership" today/tomorrow."

mach 1 1970 Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Congats you will really enjoy your new ride. There is nothing more exciting then picking up your new car!! This is a perfect daily driver. Like your options. Don't forget to remove the foam insert under the dash in the sound tube. Some people like the intake roar. Forget about sleeping tonight so just sleep in the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilmor Posted August 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Is the sound tube foam intended to be removed - of is this something that some guys do as a mod for more rumble? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just more intake sound. Some people like it some don't. It is so easy to remove and put back in. Just need needle nose pliers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
