This swinging Johnson wants no part of 10K stripes.
Yeah, I wouldn't pay $10k for a $2-3k (retail) process. But what floors me more is how many buyers prefer or settle for black or white only!?!?? I am in awe of Ford marketing.

Is it that they prefer white or black or that dealers order those colors because they're safe and that's what you're stuck with when you buy one off the lot...

For the love of God....can the remaining page(s) please be posted?

And there is always a page where we get a shitty, black and white look at the wheels offered. Be nice if that was posted too (unless Ford has left it blank) to verify that that CFHP wheels are just a painted version of the current CFTP wheel and not something different.


Let me know if this helps... Or I can send you the .pdf and you can zoom in. Click on the graphic and it will grow a bit larger.

@Tomster Thanks Tom. Was the principal of the items in the offer and as transpired they are marginal for there purpose. Think we paid plenty for not much.....
As in a previous conversation about a CFHP, think I will pass as I don't see much value in the deal.
Maybe look for something else C8 LOL.

Sam,

Those OEM adjustable camber plates suck. They are a bitch to adjust. If anyone wants a good set of camber plates, I wouldn't want the OEM ones. You have to use a 2x4 and a hand held sledge to move them.
Thinking of spending the stimulus on different camber plates

I did not order my R. What's the point? It made sense to order our 15 C7 (Arctic White) because there were so many options available that we wanted and others we didn't want. Finding an R they way I would've ordered it was not going to be problem. Don't think it's a problem with the GT500's left out there either. The option choices just aren't that vast. My dealer was sitting on 3 Rs. I had a choice of 3 different colors. White, Black, Lightning Blue. A Black R was just really sinister looking. Helps if you know how to care for the color and you're not OCD about it. Most people are just afraid to own a black car. This is my 3rd. I've had a Race Red Boss, B5 Blue HC, Ruby Red GT500 for reference too. Black is just badass. The Oxford White R was my second choice. Tough lookin R for sure. Having come out of a B5 Blue HC cured me of the blues for awhile.

There are 16 GT500s within 50 miles of me. Most are FPB. But you can't go wrong with any color offered for cars like the GT500 or an R.

:cool: GREAT word.



That is just not something we see these days here, Sam. Amazing and count yourselves lucky. Jolly Old England isn't fairing so well, among others.
KB We are sure lucky, no worries at the moment, but that can change in a flash. A country with a smaller population can be "manipulated" by the govt to behave.
