Cool man, going to be a lot of fun. Hopefully it gets to you with enough summer left to enjoy it. We live about 15mins from the Flat Rock plant, giant place, didn't know they made the Rs there.

Once the R is built it goes to a modification shop to get the wing, carbon fiber wheels, and stripes added. The front splitter won't get installed until it gets to the dealer since it is too low for the transport truck/train
Are you going to track it?If so, drag or autocross? [ 2017-06-21, 08:44 AM: Message edited by: East Bay 50 ]

Yeah I plan to track it. The car doesn't have the tire or gearing for the drag strip. Conversely the gearing is too tall for short autocross courses.
I will plan to take it out to Sonoma and Thunder Hill this year. The Shelby mini-nationals are at Sonoma, and it looks Iike we might have a private track day at Thunder Hill in October. Going back to Utah in July to race at the Ford Performance school.
You ever take yours out on the track or are you keeping it setup for the strip.

Not doubting myself. I'm more of a fan on the performance of these cars over the looks. So 50 Deep if you part out I got dibs on the motor

That thing sits in the garage 90% of the time. I mostly drive the CTS-V. I plan on getting something else next year. maybe a new zl1 or ATS-V not sure yet. If I get a new ZL1 I will probably take it to the track. I heard they handle great!

If you are looking that route see if you can snag up the ZL1 1LE. It just posted an impressive time at the Nurburgring. Plus you can get the Chevys with all kinds of rebates and stuff. They give them things away . When I see that car it just doesn't excite me like the R, but can't argue with its performance
By next year you should also know what the next GTXXX is coming from Ford
