    are they out yet ?

    Amy is right. I have not seen a yellow one yet. To date I have seen him with every other color but Screaming Yellow. He told me that they did not get final color approval for front and rear fascias until last week for Screaming Yellow. They just built several screaming yellow GTs to be used...

    They're not out yet. You are seeing pre-production models that are being driven around by launch team. My neighbor works for AAI and drives a new Mustang every day of the week.

    No 18 inch wheel eveyone e-mail ford and scream
