My dealer was not happy when I ordered stock 19s (going aftermarket wheels) so I had to give in when he did not want me to order with the base stereo. For $1,300 it's really not that bad.
I am ordering the aero front pieces separate and they will install upon delivery. Cost is about $1,000.
The upgraded interior was about $6K.
Looking at the difference between GT and GTS, you can add the options to get to a GTS (other than red calipers and race mode) for about $6K which I did. It's a no brainer compared to the $20K difference in base price.
With a tune and downpipes, it will close in power to the GT-R

Great deal Emeric. We held out and waited for good reason sir. 2017 GT is such a great value.
I think the GTR will supplant the GTS in 2018 as such.

Mine is scheduled to be built 6-23-16 and it will be a 2017. I expect a late July delivery.
What is a reasonable discount before I have to walk out. I ordered Ceramic brakes, Dynamic Plus, black mesh wheels, lane tracking package. I'm going to track the car so not looking for a bunch of non go fast options.

I'm assuming you just placed a deposit, but I would say you have to be somewhere north of 5%.

Finally went to "B3" status. Hopefully I can get built in July.
Have any of you seen this recall on June 2015 GTS builds?

My production date is 09/04 and my dealer tells me today my status is B-3 and he cannot make a change on my order sheet.
I am puzzled as B0 is 19 days before production.
Is the dealer pulling a fast one on me?

You mean B4? That's great if so. I just emailed my guy, cannot believe another Friday or week is going by.
Yes it's killing me!! I found myself in Butler wheel tire today like a little kid ....

Well it looks like your past me now. I have no VIN.
My 63 blew up again yesterday and is in the shop with all kinds of ABC/ESP lights going on thank God I have a warranty or I really would've been pissed. Anyway, my service advisor told me that she went to the factory on her 20th anniversary in June and was watching the GT production. She said there were about 100 GT's being assembled and that they were falling behind on the 2017 Models.

No I mean P4 which I assume is pre-production code as my production date is supposed to be 09/24. If I have a VIN you clearly should have one cause your is in production.
Sorry to hear about your 63? Which model?

We are getting some serious conflicting information lol.
I know my salesguy very well and I am awaiting the code definition. He had advised that the list I sent him (which is the one you just posted) is not the correct one for the GTs.
Your sales guy should be able to show you on his computer your car with an exact production date. If he is not, then he does not have an allocation.

Went to dealer. Status is B-4 (not P4) which is described as X-2 Prod.
This is after status Z63 which is getting a VIN#
Computer still showed Estimated production date of 09/06/16.
Comparing your screenshot to mine, next for you is B40 and Z63.
Somehow it appears I am slightly ahead of you but my production date is still a month after yours.

Excuse my question but I am really confused. How can a car be 2 days to completion when the Est prod date in computer is 09/06/16 which is 45 days from now?
Maybe I understand incorrectly and the "est prod date" is the date that the car is finally complete (B5) and it Aftlerbach about 45 days to do final testing and it sits somewhere waiting to be picked up to be taken to the port.

I had a "stereo" put in mine.
They were able to fit a JL 10TW3 in a custom box, JL 5 channel amp, Audison Bit Ten, and the adapter needed to work with the stock electronics all into the passenger side of the hatch where the stock sub was located.
We also put Focal 3 ways in the stock locations up front as the car came with 3ways factory.
I think putting a 10w6 might be a little more challenging since it needs more room.
