Replying to: moronix (May 08, 2007 7:40 am) Shelbydude, what is your take on this? I am on the list for a SS GT500, but I don't like the shipping arrangements. I have to first accept the car at my dealership here in New Hampshire, and then ship it to Vegas and then back again. That seems reall risky and inefficient. Why can't FoMoCo ship the car to SAI in Vegas, like they do for the Shelby GT, and then the buyer makes arrangements to ship from Vegas? I have suggested this to SAI. |

The one on my showroom floor is just collecting dust and finger prints. Mark. |

So what happened to the announcement that order banks for the 2008 had opened up on 16 April? I haven't seen any posting that indicates success by anyone having placed their order for the new model year, to include options. Yeah, deposits...but that doesn't really count.

Replying to: shelbydude (May 14, 2007 4:22 am) Question I just spoke with Sunnyside about putting the 7 year 48K Premium care ESP on my Shelby. They will give me a $50 deductible for $1595. What do you think about this ESP plan? Do you have it on yours? I have it on all my other Fords and think they pay for themselves, but I'm undecided about it for a part-time fun toy. Is there something better thru Ford? |

Shelbydude et al: I just returned from my local Ford Dealership where I placed the specs on my order for a 2008 GT500. I live in the state of NH, surrounded by states requiring the California Emissions Package. NH does not require it. The sales manager and I are attempting to ensure the vehicle will NOT have this package, but are unsure of how to go about it. The specs state "50 state emissions." The sales manager said this indicates all 50 states require the California Emissions Package. I told him this is not the case. How do we go about ensuring no California Emissions Package on my delivered vehicle? Many thanks in advance.

Replying to: rheller (May 29, 2007 1:23 pm) They can be ordered with specific CA emissions, or federal emissions, or 50 state emissions. Ford just builds all mustangs now with 50 state emissions. It is no big deal. It is on all the GT500's

This is a distinction without a distinction. The only difference the CA emissions adds is different (longer) warranty. Ford is stupid to continue to make cars that are not 50 states compliant. All Nissans for instance are 50 states compliant. This isn't 30 years ago where the CA emissions ment some different parts etc. Mark. |

| A black Shelby GT is on the local show room floor. I noted a few minor scuffs on the hood. As I was admiring it, one of the salesman revealed that the vehicle arrived with sand under the hood and in crevices. It appears these cars sit out in the open somewhere exposed to the desert elements (sand, wind, etc). That's discouraging, IMO. I expect more TLC from SAI. This somewhat dampens my enthusiasm for shipping my new, pristine GT500 to Vegas. | |
