Go where ever is best for you logistically.If you got to Tasca your number will change to a 301-400 number. michael morris It may not be that simple. When I sent SAI my deposit and signed the contract last fall, I wrote on the contract that my preference was to have the installation done at Tasca. When I saw all the discussion about numbers a few weeks ago, I sent Kyle an email and found out that SAI did not communicate my request with Tasca and now I am on the back of their line since there is a separate list being generated at Tasca. I asked Kyle to tell me how many people are in front of me and I got no response. It also appears that Bob Tasca has not signed their agreement with SAI. Will an agreement be signed? When? When will they start? What will be their production time? If I want my SS done at Tasca when will it be done? I feel bad for Kyle, he is getting pressure to answer questions he doesn't have the answers to. He must just field phone questions and answer emails all day long. I just want to get my car done, :happy feet: I still don't know when it will be done and now I am not sure if I want to risk loosing my position in Vegas for a number at Tasca when we don't know when they will come to an agreement and how many are on their list and where I stand on that list. To make it more complicated SAI controls the schedule since the parts and CSM number are coordinated through SAI while Tasca attempts to schedule their own list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To make it more complicated SAI controls the schedule since the parts and CSM number are coordinated through SAI while Tasca attempts to schedule their own list I experienced a similar situation. When I sent my money to SAI I also made it clear to them I intended to have the work done at Tasca.I then waited patiently to be notified until someone on this forum [thanks Keith] told me I better call Tasca to reserve my position on their list. As you, I know I lost positions on the line as I was waiting before I notified Tasca. Oh well! I guess they will now have time to practice doing the mods on a few more cars before they do my car.

The Tasca situation has been going on for a VERY long time now... I'm one of the first ones on the list to get done there and also like you I live on Long Island. My suggestion is to get on line there and it Vegas calls you and you really wanna ship the car all the way to Vegas..... and they are ready for you before Tasca then go ahead and do that...

A higher CSM# at Tasca will probably be better than a lower one at Vegas in regards to getting your car sooner. Per SAI, approximately 75% of the all upgrades will be done in Vegas.

I don't think we can do that. Tasca's SS numbers are 300-400. I would assume once you accept a Tasca CSM number you loose your original Vegas number. I don't think they would allow you to keep both and see who calls first...that would cause caos. If I am offered a Tasca number I will not accept it unless I know Tasca has signed the agreement and is producing mods and I know when mine will get done. At least we now know SAI is in full production and called in 50 cars. :happy feet: My number can come up much quicker in Vegas. Tasca is still an unknown.

Heard they started the 725hp SS cars. How about some pics of the side and window scoops that's offered as an option? Im ALMOST postive that the first 10 VERTS have NOT be released YET! Im thinking SAI is finishing them up and my go over them a time or 2 to make sure they are RIGHT!!! To be honest Im not real sure how many of the 10 they have totally completed. They might be in different stages and could be finished VERY soon. From what I understand the side scoops MIGHT still be on order. They were a few weeks ago and SAI was going to build cars with the blockoff plates, but this might have changed. I will look into this. Im going with the block offs so I forget to look into the scoops. michael morris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAI only announced the number switch thing at the begining of Feb. Many (like myself) have had their numbers ages before then. I have been on line at Tasca since the announced the agreement late August. No one from SAI has ever asked me where I wannna get SS'ed. That being said why couldn't I wait to see who calls first?? They didn't call me to switch my # to the 300's. I'm getting my car done at Tasca so long as they sign in my lifetime.... but I don't see why I couldn't hedge myself by seeing who called first if I wanted to..... unless I missed something, which I highly doubt that I missed a phone call or e-mail to change my # accordingly... Not like I'm looking for the option, but I do believe it is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carrera Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 When we all get SS'd we should get together and organize some cruises, that would be very cool. banghead: Great idea about the cruise. Every Sun AM weather permittting hundreds of muscle cars gather at the parking area of Captree boat basin just east of Jones Beach. That would be a great plase to have a SS showing! :happy feet: Regarding the numbering system . I am definitely going to Tasca. They are a highly regarded high performance shop that I have respected for many years. I think the numbers will move quickly once the papers are signed. From what I've heard if you send your car to Vegas plan on having the car be gone for 3-5 weeks, but at Tasca they are saying in by fri out by the following fri. Plus the advantage of living on LI is that you can drive the car up there in a few hours. In any event I sure hope the process gets started so I have my car done to enjoy by summer!

ORNGCRSH Im SORRY, but I would be scared to guess They have just started the 725s and I dont think they know EXACTLY how long its going to take to build one. Now after they have built a few they will have it down and can really KNOCK them out, but the first few weeks in going to be a time to LEARN alot of things about the conversion. I believe that SAI is going to try and build them in CSM order, but I dont know if thats 07 and 08 at the same time. I would think it is, but I will also work on that question. Sorry I havent been alot of help for you, but I DO KNOW they are gathering stem on these SSs and we should start seeing some pics of completed cars REAL soon. That is if the owners of the SS let them post. michael morris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsdogs1 Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 No offense mike but my car is one of the first 10 and it has not even been started yet as far as I know. Cynthia told me she would notify me as soon as they get it in the shop. I have heard nothing. I e-mailed Bud on Wed. and have not heard back from him. My car has been at sai since the middle of Jan. and as far as I know it is still sitting outside (something that never happened here at home). My frustration is climbing.

jsdogs1 Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 I gave my deposit back in late june. My number is 07ss0038. I was in very early also. I have been following the upgrades since they first announced the 40th anniversary way back in November 2006. Then last March they sent an e-mail about a new upgrade (the SS package) stating you can never have enough horsepower. I called right away to get my name on the list but they were not taking deposits that early. As soon as they announced they were taking deposits I called and got my money in. Because I have a vert I was only able to get the 600 hp package. I have been trying to be patient with this whole process but it gets harder as each day and week goes by. I only hope that when they do finally start spitting these out that you guys later on the list won't have to wait so long. and yes I will post pictures if you guys want. I wouldn't want to add to any one elses anxiety by seeing my car completed (when that day finally arrives). If you guys want to see the car I will be happy to show it. I am in Delaware and will let any one know who's interested when local car shows and cruise nights are so they can see the car in person. Why have a work of art if you're not going to show it.
