    Im 5 on the list for the hardtop, haven't heard a word yet. If I remember correctly thought they were going to production on the coupe first and then with the hardtop/front end afterwards.

    There's been a delay on the hard tops due to glass.
    Thank you all for your patience

    What about the new front end for existing 818S customers? When will those be available? Thanks

    I miss my #6 spot I gave up for the C, but I'm glad SnyderJD got to move up! I've decided to cross my fingers for a Summit Ford Racing 2.3L kit/tranny along the lines of the Coyote for the Cobra. Can't wait to see what they show at SEMA!

    I'm new to the forum and will be a proud owner of a FF5 818C next week. Placed my order the morning of the open house and received my build date several weeks ago. My original date was 10-17 but was able to move it up to 10-10 so should be expecting a delivery call next week. Will keep everyone posted. Will build using the Subaru 2.0 and convert to the Ford 2.3 once the details have been sorted out.

    I suspect the 2.3L ecoboost will be at SEMA next month. We will get some good pictures I'm sure.
