    I am considering buying a 2014 GT500. However the clutch pedal feel is very heavy. I've heard that some remove the clutch return spring and noted that you have commented on this before. Is it difficult to remove this spring? Any down side to removing it?

    Appreciate any guidance you can provide.

    Thanks

    I have a 13 5.0 and my outside temp reads 50. Ive checked everywhere by the horn & behind the grille for the sensor. Ive seen the diagram that shows it routed with the horn wiring but mine is not. Could I get a new connector and splice that in with the horn harness and then plug a new sensor in? Ive spent days on this, I really dont want to take the car to the dealership so I hope you can help!

    I’ve spent days researching and hours trying to find this connector/sensor under the car but it’s nowhere to be found and I’ve seen your name a bunch so that’s why I’ve come to you in hopes you can help before I take it to the dealership, thanks!

    Hey Earl,

    Do you know anyone at the plant that could send me a photo of my 22MY? VIN is 1FA6P8SJ1N5501201. I got a Code Orange CFTP with painted black roof, painted oxford white stripes etc etc. It was just released to the body company. I'm assuming they're the ones doing the painted white stripes?

    Hello Earl, I thought I would inquire to you about your understanding as to why some GT500's are delivered by rail and others by Convoy, despite going to the same location. Does the dealer have any input in the delivery method, rail vs. truck? Thank you, Nick Clark

    The shipping method is decided by a department at Ford and the shipper. I have seen cars shipped by rail and convoy to different parts of PA. I think it depends on how close the destination is to the plant and if there is an automotive railyard near the dealer.

    New member - placed my order for a MY22 earlier this week. I’ve signed and returned the build order, had my card charged for the deposit, and can’t seem to get an order confirmation (I’d assume that I would get one from Ford)

    Order #: 8687
    Date: 12/13/21
    Dealer: Ted Britt Fairfax
    Location: Fairfax, VA (my location is Leesburg, VA)

    Thank you!

    Thank you for helping us with updates. I ordered my 2022 CFTP after upgrading from a base. Last time I ordered my 2020 I ended having to buy one locally as Covid had left uncertainty. Is there any possible way that 2022 will be rolling out to dealers before April? My order information is listed below. Thanks again.

    Sales Code: F21404
    Priority Code: 80
    Order Code: J101
    Dealership: Tindol Ford

    I heard that the CFTP cars would go into production in March, if the weather cooperates. So some dealer would get their cars in March or April depending on if the cars have painted stripes.

    Snoopy49,

    If I provide you with my chassis number or vin of my 21 GT500 CFTP car, is there anything cool for my history files that you might be able to look up or provide that will be very cool 20 years from now?

    The dealer did send me the transport history report which I thought was cool.

    Is there anything else that might me available? Please PM me if so and you need info from me.

    Thanks,

    Randy D

    I would bet that the car has been released to Penske, but has not been shipped to Penske. It sometimes takes a week or two for Penske have them shipped to them. If you can send me a PM with your the VIN and the order number, I will check it out.

    I called Ford Performance and they said it went to Penske on 7/1, but from there they don't have anything.They said it would go back to FRAP, but there's a chance the dealer could receive it today.Any help would be greatly appreciated.
