That's the show car. It's "Liquid Blue" and is a quad-coat paint which Ford doesn't mass produce yet. They're offering the Focus RS in a color called "Nitrous Blue" which will also be a quad-coat and is similar. With them offering that, it's possible we could see quad-coats on more cars in the future. But as of now, if you want blue, Deep Impact Blue is the only option. Ford does not offer a custom paint program for the GT350.
It's a special blue Ford Performance uses exclusively for show vehicles. The color looks wicked as much because of how many coats are manually applied as the color itself. You'll see everything from Focus RS to Ford GT in it, but it's not available as a factory paint option and won't be. The running gag is that it's real name is "Unobtanium".
Didn't order through them as planned salesmen tried to play me like a fool. Do you know if King Cotton Ford is on that list? :shrug:
No, but that means only that they haven't had an ordered allocation scheduled yet. Most stores will subscribe and get at least one base GT350 allocation. Even if a dealer already has one or more in the pipe, they very well could be retail orders for waiting buyers anyway.
As no GT350 owners yet exist, I'm not sure what kind of comparative feedback you're hoping to obtain. Otherwise, all Mustangs are assembled by the same workers on the same lines at the same plant.
No King Cotton is who i placed my order with. They are a smaller dealer but i figured since they were only getting one it could possibly be getting pulled as well.
If you're looking for BMW or Audi fit-and-finish build quality, you're not going to find it. I absolutely love my Boss. And I really, really, really like my Fusion (which was built at the same facility as the Mustang) and all the tech that is offered for the price, but there are panel alignment issues. Not bad enough to call it a piece of crap, but it is something you notice. If sub-millimeter precision on the body is what you're after, you might want to prepare for some more let down.
