Had the chance to visit Multimatic with my dad today to see his GT in production. Very cool experience! Amazing to see what all is behind that beautiful skin. The assembly line isn't as long as I thought it would be. Lots of jobs done at one station though. Not like the F150 production line! Lol. Got to see a water test in action which was cool. Wanted to see the dyno but they weren't testing at that time. Saw the titanium exhaust. It looks phenomenal out the back. Totally worth the wait. Looks racy. Saw a custom Lamborghini green color car that looked nice. Chip I saw your car and I want to tell you that you made the right choice with that yellow. It looks awesome! Much better than the standard yellow offering. You will love it! Looks about ready to come to you. Pearce was great with the tour and very accommodating.
Dad's car is Liquid Red, no stripe, Re-Entry interior, gloss carbon fiber trim and wheels, silver calipers, ti exhaust and lug nuts. Looking forward for delivery hopefully soon!

Kevin

Very cool Kevin! Can't wait to see the car. It was nice meeting you at the rally. It sounds like it'll be more than me getting a NGT through Milliken Ford!

Im looking forward to that picture, but it will be cold (December). Enjoy the process to the fullest!

Not to derail thread, but this is a pic I took last weekend of the Ti exhaust.

Wow - cool Ti exhaust. I can't read the word on the exhaust. Is it an Akrapovič ?

Ed

PS Sorry about hijack Kevin. Can we move this to another thread?

Very cool picture of you and your dad. No denying you're his son. Ha

I can't read the writing the exhaust either, but it looks like the Akrapovic logo. Their exhaust components are top notch and very expensive.

Thanks everyone! And I will post pics at delivery. The welds on the exhaust were top notch. Very impressive. The logos sit on top of both outlets.

Interested to see what that sounds like.

It's my understanding that it makes an already very loud car even louder.
