I don't know if anyone has noticed but lately there is ALOT of Shelby GT vids on YOUTUBE now. This explains why the Hood Scoop was such a defective fiasco!! They all had $$$$$$ signs in their eyes .....Oh Ya ...get it to the dealers as fast as posssible ,,,,They forgot about QUALITY ................because they were blinded by $$$$$$$ signs ,,,,they fogot about the comitment to the customer because of the ALL MIGHTY BUCK ...................Its corporate America , and we are all paying for that GREED now . I put Chip Becks Heath Scoop on my car I just don't want any thing to do with SAI any more, I like the car now after all the Steeda equipment , Coast Aluminum Driveshaft, Fays 2 Watts Link , Koni Shocks , Breenspeed Tune etc ..........Ya now its a pretty fun track car , But for 45,000$ it should-a had a real SCOOP . Shelby is a great guy but the corporation is lacking integrity and ethics. Two years of looking at light thru that scoop, and when I sent the pictures of mine to the dealer they wouldn't call me back or talk to me about the repair..............don't need any of them , got tired of wasting my breath .................

ngnear Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Thanks for posting. It appears from all the videos on youtube that the Shelby GT is beginning to be recognized for what it truely is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HORSBYT Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Thanks for posting. It appears from all the videos on youtube that the Shelby GT is beginning to be recognized for what it truely is. It's because of us.... the owners. BTW I disagree with the original post that blasted SAI/Ford. I see SAI stepping up and giving back to the performance audience. The video rightly states that Ford mires itself into "overthinking" and "overdoing" at the expense of the performance enthusiast while SAI steps up and says in not so many words says they don't need to deal with all that BS! Carrol himself points out he'll build that car in 3 months what Ford would take forever on! Granted, issues like scoops/stripes et al is one think, but are you kidding me? I'm OVERLY impressed with an operation like SAI being able to churn out so many of these things in a relatively short period of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZDS You're dealer wouldn't talk to you? No way! I'm sure you were just as civil and just as rational as you have been here...I can't imagine why someone wouldn't want to go the extra mile for you! In the that time I had mine replaced three times as the company you claim was out for the "ALL MIGHTY BUCK" tried to make it right. They for sure lost $$$ on my car but today I have a PERFECT scoop and other than some time away from my car it cost me NOTHING. :happy feet: Obviously your mileage my vary!

Reino Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Maybe some have seen this, but I thought i'd post anyway because it is very cool! I don't know if anyone has noticed but lately there is ALOT of Shelby GT vids on YOUTUBE now. Thanks for posting that. Ive seen lots of videos but never saw that one till now. Very interesting. If anyone is able can they repost the video so I can save it to my computer. I want to save the file not the link. I really wish I knew more about computer. Thanks in advance. As for ZDS's post, Ill just ignore it. He is unreal. I obviously cant tell the rest of you what to do but I think we should just all ignore his posts. All his posts are overly critical when they dont need to be. I have been critical of SAI and SPP in the past but when they do right, I acknowlege it, like many other have. A good post like this should not be turned into a bitch session when there is no real reason to bitch in the first place. f Thanks again for the video.

greaser Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 the thing i dont get is they state they want it to create a buzz and excitement but then when the car came out there was almost no advertisement about it. :huh: but it is a cool vid.

ZDS Are we talkng about the same SGT we all bought? My SGT has never has any Q/C issues. It is the best car I have ever owned :happy feet: I have been to SAI in Vegas twice and met several people who work for them. Any inquiry I did have was addressed quickly and professionally. They seem truly sincere in making sure you are 100% satisfied. The same with the Performance Parts folks I have talked to on the phone and met at shows. I am disappointed that you feel the way you do about them. However, as for my local Ford dealer, I agree with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of like the lack of publicity our cars have. It adds an air of mystery. :bag: More people have come up to me at shows, cruise nights and gas stations because they had never seen an SGT. They thought these cars were just rumors or so rare there aren't many out and about. I admit I didn't know there was such a thing until I saw an SGT-H vert. at a Hertz display at a travel show. At that point, I didn't know there was a version for sale to anybody. Fast forward 4 months. I bought my 07SGT2940 brand new and my life changed. :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greaser Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 oh i am glad they didnt advers them to much also. i prob wouldnt have gotten mine it sat o the lot for about 8 months and they wanted it gone in feb in minnesota so i got a hella deal when people were still paying 40k. so it worked out good for me but not so much for ford.

RmGardner Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 I first saw the SGT on thr BJ Auction in Scotsdale . The one that Ron Pratt paid 600,000 for. I told myself I had to have one. Started checking with dealers and sales people and they didn't know what I was talking about. Finally found out how to look at dealers inventory and stickers to see if they showed the up fitters package and than went to the dealer . Great car ,Love it won't get rid of it and have not had my hood scoop replaced yet. Maybe winter of 09 and 10 I will get it done. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talked to them three times in a patient , polite , and civil manner ................didn't even want to go back and push the point I was just tired of of the whole mess, and realized the best way to get what I wanted was to do it my self. I am sure the SAI Scoop is a copy of the Beck /Heath scoop ..........I have seen both . I did mine exactly like Chips , and it does make an excellent heat extractor , this means at Willow Springs in the California desert I don't have to cotinually get out and pull the hood pins to pop the hood open between track sessions. Whats the sense in having a fake scoop after three attempts???? ZDS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFBLUE Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 I remember when the GT-H came out. I was really excited, if only it was available to the public, came with a manual transmission, and had a spoiler delete option. Then they announced the SGT and I was really excited again...if only it came in blue Then they announced the Vista Blue 2008 SGT and I was really excited again...if only it was cheaper. Then they announced the X-Plan and $1K rebate in Nov 07 and i was really excited again...if only I had it in my possesion Then it arrived at my front door and I was really excited again...if only it had a unique Shelby GT rear medallion Then SAI listened to us SGT owners and came out with the "BergShelby" gas cap...if only I had enough money to buy more stuff for my car Then the stock market crashed, I switched jobs, the economy went to crap, and I owe more on my house than it's worth...if only I had rented and taken all my money out of stock market in summer 2007. If only. You can go through life saying "if only." As you can see, I say it all the time. Note to self "Enjoy the present". Great video...brought back some fond memories.
