I am also glad for the 3 year delay since now I will take delivery of a Carbon series in Feb 2019 - Lightening Blue with the two carbon stripes. This is the GT to own. It really should be the base car, though with the 2019 price increase, the Carbon series charge, tax and license and Xpel treatment, it will be nearly $650k out the door. So I skipped the accent stripe and settled for red brake calipers. Anyway, I prefer the carbon fiber on the rear view mirrors over the accent paint.
