Nice!
My original timeframe was late Jan/Early Feb.........but I'm hoping I'll be able to bump that up to Late Nov/Early Dec.

UPDATE: Sales guy told me today Ford has received and confirmed my order.
2013 Mustang GT base with the Track Pack. Decided against the Recaros', they look great and are nice and all, but I just can't bring myself to spend that much on seats, when I could spend it on lightweight wheels, springs/shocks/panhard, or track days for the Miata.
He said typically have a VIN in 2-3 weeks and delivery of the car in 6-8 weeks from today.
Guess we will find out!

Congrats.
that said I'm very surprised that you would use the alternate trackdays line of reasoning against the Recaro's but are going forward with the purchase of a $30K car.
Don't the Recaros come with a Torsen? Won't you miss both on track days?

nocones, essentially they just weren't worth it to me. I was just illustrating what else I could use that money for. If I was having to strain my budget in any way to afford the purchase, I wouldnt' be making it. 
Javelin, the Track Pack comes with 3.73s and the Torsen from the Boss independent of the Recaro's. It also comes with the revised suspension tuning, 19s with 255 Pirelli's, 14" Brembo's and the BOSS 302 radiator/oil cooler.
Sweet! What color?
BTW, I would recommend finding some 18s (or 17s if they fit over the Brembos) for daily driving. I got a puncture in one of my Pirellis and they are hella expensive to replace!
Congrats, can't to see some pictures!

Performance White. I've always loved white cars. I love black, but after owning the Speed 3.......never again. Just too impossible to keep looking clean. I hate driving around in a filthy car.
I keep hem-hawing on wheels. I know I want to ditch the stock Track Pack wheels because they are HEAVY at 31-32lbs.
I like 18s for the weight/cost, but there doesn't seem to be much in the way of WIDE (275-295) performance tires in the correct O.D. of ~27"........I love the way 20s look on the new cars, but good tires are approaching $400 or more per tire.
I like the idea of a 19x9.5 or 19x10 with 285/35/19s......but going to lightweight 18s could knock nearly 50lbs of wheel/tire weight off the car.
Geez, and I thought the stock Cali Special/Performance Pack wheels were heavy (I haven't weighed them yet but someone said they are 25.5lb apiece. Not that they're exactly lightweight).
The Pirellis are super-sticky but I anticipate they won't last long, plus they're $380 a pop! If I wasn't looking for a winter beater pickup/tow rig for my RX-7, I'd be looking for a DD wheel/tire set and save the stock V-6PP wheels for autocross and showing off.
^Yeah, I can't believe they would saddle the "Track Pack" with such outrageously heavy wheels.
Part of me wants a staggered setup for street wheels, because I love the look. But don't love not being able to rotate.
I have a feeling I'm going to end up with three sets of wheels for the car. 
You lucky, lucky bastard
