Only option being the adjustable pedals. I haven't been given a delivery date from fleet yet, but im expecting mid to late January. Anyone else have an update on delivery dates and how Ford is tracking with meeting demands???

Once we get the SIDO we will be able to get regular accurate updates on the progress of the cars build. The dealer changed a turbo he already had in the system to our spec which is the reason why we ended up with a Dec delivery. Salesman told me that the factory closes for the last 2 weeks Dec/firts 2 weeks Jan so l'm guessing you probably wouldnt see you car until early Feb.Roll on December, roll on.Simon Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/93-ordered-mine/#findComment-621 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't take this VT Wagon any longer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Thanks Mondie. Oh well, at least you'll have a nice Chrissy present. Mine might be an Easter present. Is it only the turbos with the delay? I saw heaps of BA's coming back from QLD earlier in the week. I saw 2 XR's(not sure if turbo or not, probably not), and both of those were outside dealerships.CheersRob Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/93-ordered-mine/#findComment-622 Share on other sites More sharing options...

One dealer told me that the standard XR6 is so poular that they have put off building turbos to meet demand for the standard cars.But if the turbo is the so called hero car you would think Ford would want to get some out on the road so l doubt that reasoning l hope my dealer is right, the car is meant to go into build next week so l guess l will soon find out.Cheers Simon Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/93-ordered-mine/#findComment-625 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh, I was quite amazed at how quick I got the paperwork. All I had to do was sign, now that Ive done that. Its just wait wait wait. Any later and I migh aswell have ordered an XR8. The turbo is gonna be fun though. I see AVO already have Project XR6 Turbo lined up, they will get monster power out of the XR6T, you watch.

Today I spent a bit of time rewiring the sound system, I don't think I could part with the old girl. Hey, Ive decided I want premium sound in the XR, If fleet give me the authorisation, do you think it would be a hassel with the factory, given it was only ordered on the 30/10/02?
