crawco2 Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 After waiting 14 months to get the call to bring my car to Vegas. Now after three months of waiting for my car to be finished, I am told that there are no hoods. What is a Super Snake lover to do? I am this close.

crawco2 Posted March 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 That sucks. Do they have an ETA?... No ETA but a lot of Super Snakes sitting in the warehouse. I was told that they have a new vendor for hoods and they are behind on making the delivery. Vegas has no hoods. As to JoqieJr comment “Speculation of this could get one banned or a thread deleted.” No one is condemning Shelby. I am just stating how close I am and I want my SS. No harm in that. There must be several other members in the same boat as I am and they do not know the reason for the delay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knownukes Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 My car is there now. It's actually ok w/me. If it is true, I hope it gives them time to get the 11" Alcoas and the rear brakes in colors done. Look at the bright side guys. Glass half full................ We will all get of SS's eventually. Good things come to those who wait. BJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buyer " Well you should have bought the SS! Seller " Its the same thing!" Buyer " Nope! NOT THE SAME THING" Im just kidding with ya, but to jump in the Super Snake Forum and say you "go fly buy the SS" your just asking for some ribbing!

MM Yep, no CSM number, the mods even if fast ones are worth pennies on the dollars spent. Then the CSM'ed Super Snake flys by in value, quickly...........and yes, the college fund for the kids. Thanks for reminding me why I bought a Super Snake instead of throwing a bunch of "personal taste" mods on my GT500, the CSM number and full documentation, priceless!!
