I assume. I mean I know a person in Arizona who ordered a stealth grey comp car, and unless another one was ordered and immediately produced, it has to be his. There were a couple people who'd requested Stealth Grey samples, but he was the only Comp car order.

I'll talk to him this morning.
The reason I ask is because I saw this car on the truck when my car was delivered so yes I believe it was just headed to Arizona. Pretty cool to see in real life!

A light tint on the side glass helps the glare and the sun heat in my GT.

Is that the same grey from the focus RS?

That stealth grey is so good. What a combo. Would love to see this spec in person.

GT just looks bad ass in every color. I hope people take the opportunity if they are doing ECP to do different stuff. So many to choose from that doing a duplicate of a custom paint would be a bummer! 1300+ paints in the Axalta system!

Agreed, the more variety when it comes to this the better IMO. I've got one in mind that has been keeping me awake at night. You were the one who gave me the color code for it ..... Thanks!!

I agree Dave, but still looking for the "right one"!

Stealth Grey Comp Car. Super hot! This was one of the other colors I considered. Came out awesome. Car really wears it well.

Is it possible to order a single stripe on the base model with a/c?

Just like car guys in MI store their cars in the winter, guys in AZ store their cars in the summer (except Chip - nothing stops him from driving!). Also 95 is the night time temp in the summer. It's much hotter during the day. Of course it seems half the people in AZ head North for the summer!

I was TOTALLY in on Comp until Rally 11. That Texas heat would have been impossible to have coped with.

At LA Auto Show, a Comp in the Galpin booth. Interesting color on the 350 in the background....

I am afraid he is going to cook.!
I had my car out this weekend . ..51 degrees ambient but some brilliant Michigan Sunshine.
With the windows up and driving , the lack of airflow thru the cockpit... and what seems to be heavy heat load being generated from the windshield and the side door glass, (maybe the gorilla Glass exacerbates this issue ), we had to open the windows.
Now , at 51 degrees it was easy to cool down the car quickly... but with Arizona 95 degrees ambient and Arizona sunshine, I do not think opening the windows will help...
But , it will be a rare car and perfect for the museum.

3m makes a tint that will literally stop heat from passing through the windows.

But they don't make a tint that stops heat from passing from the engine through the bulkhead.

I have clear ceramic film on my windshield on the inside of my 2018 F-150 and either tinted or clear ceramic film on the rest of the glass. It helps a bunch in Texas but DBK is correct, it will not stop bulkhead heat. Every little bit helps though.

Gentlemen,

After living with the new GT for a couple months I can say I wouldn't miss the radio in a COMP GT, but I'd really miss the back up camera especially at crowded car shows. And here in the middle of winter I still never drive without the a/c on. My NFGT would be uncomfortable without it in the winter, undrivable without it in the summer.

Chip... here in Michigan, after 800 miles, I only used the A/c on two or three occasions.
However I agree with you on the rear camera (even just pulling out of my driveway it helps)
and the radio, I have not listened to the radio for even 5 seconds..!! exhaust 'note' is so much nicer to hear.
does it come with Sirius Satellite radio for 6 months like other new Ford Vehicles.?

This was another at LAAS, unknown booth. The person who sent it to me even looked at the floor map, and couldnt figure out who was showing it.
