And the dealership model fails the Ford customer again....

It seems the other dealership will not play ball with my dealership because they have 2 or 3 "interested" customers.

Well if they're so "interested", why is the damn car still sitting on their lot?

If they're so interested, maybe they should get out their g-damn checkbooks!

2013 SHO PP

So.....Bronze Fire?

Anyone know the difference between the cars that have "California emissions" on the window sticker vs the ones that don't?

When I think about "California emissions" I tend to think less power or potential for power...

IOW, buzzkill....

Sucks about the pushback.  CA Emissions - Higher capacity cats, maybe?  According to this blurb, no real difference after 2001:

I was comparing the height on our SHO,think the coilovers are called for compared to my BIIIMER,which has Eibach springs and Bilstein shocks,guess have to wait until they hopefully come out soon.Z.

Not 100% but I think the springs on my PP are longer than non PP based on ride height comparison.
