:cheers

Good luck guys and gals. Make sure you tell them you're a member of The Ford GT Forum!

It's been a lot of fun and I'm glad the day is here!

Let's see what you guys come up with on the configurator.


The Application

The application process begins immediately and runs until May 12, 2016 at 11:59 PM EST. Ford will select the first 500 owners of the new GT from those who apply. This bit is important: It's not necessary to burn up your keyboard, furiously typing to get in your application because the order in which applications are received is irrelevant to your selection. You have 30 days to get your application in, so no need to rush. Applicants will receive status notifications beginning 90 days from the close of the application period.


The Ford GT Concierge Service

Ford has crafted a new customer experience specifically for Ford GT customers with a new, GT-only concierge service. Recipients of a new GT allocation will work directly with a personally-assigned concierge throughout their ownership process. This includes initial ordering, vehicle configuration, all the way through delivery and beyond into your first years of ownership.

“The purchase process for the Ford GT is as unique as our all-new supercar,” said Henry Ford III, global marketing manager, Ford Performance. “We understand GT customers are strong ambassadors for Ford Motor Company, and we look forward to providing them a service as distinct as the car itself.”

The Ford GT Configurator

The Ford GT also gets an all-new configurator, where potential owners and fans alike can sort view a nearly endless assortment of combinations. At this time, Ford has chosen to reveal 8 base paint colors (including the much-desired Liquid Blue), 7 stripe colors, 5 caliper colors, 4 interior packages, and 2 wheels options (one with 3 finishes and the other with 2). There are literally thousands of combos to build, compare and share on the net.

Here are the markets the GT will be sold in:

Price?

I tried and get lots of undefined displays starting on the config page. I'll look later. Maybe the server load will get sane by morning

It'll be interesting to hear back.

Application "fill in boxes" are difficultly sized. Hopeful my typo's don't disqualify me.

All this extra time to launch the site, presumably to make sure it could handle the inevitable crush of attention and traffic when it went live.

And...it can't handle the crush of attention and traffic. Keep getting error message and can't save any of the sections of application. (sigh...)

Managed to get it successfully submitted.

Now I say again! It does not matter what order your application is submitted in. You can even go back and edit it up to the deadline!
