Local Ford dealers are clueless about the new one. There are still some dealers taking deposits thinking they will sell the car (they won't) There will be an application process directly through Ford to buy it. Cars will be sold to a person, not through a dealer, and you will choose a delivery dealer. This will prevent the ADMs we see on the GT350s. There will also be a lockdown resale period where Ford will get right of first refusal. The application process (which will open in April at the latest word) will result in a vetting procedure. And yes, there will be a ranking and rating (ranting and raving, just like in performance reviews and raises) that will determine who gets the cars. Ford estimates there will be at least 3000 applications for 250 vehicles (with most of those being for the 150 or so US vehicles). Being an ORIGINAL (10 year+) owner will reportedly get you bonus points but that alone will not guarantee you a car. Many other factors will be involved. What those are is anyone's guess, we'll just have to wait.
BTW, my pulley/tune gets me 650HP/650Tq (I have the dyno sheet) at the rear wheels. It was a hoot on the track.
