ShelbyDude Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 That is what I just said, maybe they will read these and get started They can't start until they get all the parts needed. That is why they haven't started. The parts are there yet! At least that is the reason I heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least that is the reason I heard. It's not like they didn't have plenty of time to plan out the supply chain side of this car did they?? Jeeze, they've been hyping this car publicly for what seems like forever.... not to mention how long Ford/SAI planned it prior to making it public. Guess they figure they have a captive audience who will take whatever is given. I have a feeling the customer might not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess they figure they have a captive audience who will take whatever is given. I have a feeling the customer might not. From what I understand is that the HOODS were not up to what Ford thought they should be. SAI didnt order the hoods, Ford ordered them and painted them. So I think this is the hold up and has been this whole time. Not SAI, but Fords hoods. michael morris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe G Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Ummm.... aftermarket hoods, wheels, various other off the shelf FRPP parts hardly equal the largest ever commercial airliner nor the first of a new generation of revolutionary carbon fiber passenger airliners. This also isn't the first major delay for SAI for building their special edition Mustangs (here we are beginning MY2009 and only a small percentage of 2007 much less 2008 SS's have been completed - similar story for delays in 40th cars - from what I've read here). I'm just pointing out that there seems to be persistant logistical issues that keep popping up for their halo cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cape Cod Dealer Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Spoke with product guy with Ford this morning. They flew a team out to Las Vegas on Thursday 6/5 and approved release of the first vehicles. They started shipping over the weekend. The problem was the carbon fiber hood according to him.

I'm just pointing out that there seems to be persistant logistical issues that keep popping up for their halo cars. I try to stay out of these things, but I'm compelled to respond... Robert, I respect what you are saying and understand you are just trying to fend off the many attacks flying around regarding the KR, but I'm going to have to agree with Joe here. You need to stop making the Boeing/AirBus comparison. Boeing & Airbus are designing completely new and revolutionary airframes from scratch. The KR consists of a few, relatively easy modifications to an established automotive platform that's been around since 2005. They are hardly comparable products. If there are delays around the KR then there are delays. Take your lumps. $h1t happens. Trying to compare a few bolt-ons to designing a state-of-the-art airframe isn't helping your case.
