wulffy888 Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Trying to get a group together for a possible tour at the Auto Alliance plant in Flat Rock, Michigan. I need to know who would be interested in attending if this could be put together sometime later this year. Please respond if you are interested and please spread the word.

VaporDude Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 There are no public tours of AAI. TS had a couple of tours on 07 and in 08 but it was scheduled in the event. They still build them inn AAI and you can get close to the building but you can't take a tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wulffy888 Posted January 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 I have attempted to contact Jim Owens of Shelby American to see if he has any future plans to get something going. If not, it's possible that we can request to go as a group on our own. I have that contact information as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wulffy888 Posted January 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 I need to know who would be interested in attending a tour though the Auto Alliance plant in Flat Rock. It may be sponsored by Shelby American and time is to be determined. I need some type of head count, so please spread the word to your forum buddies to respond here as well. If we cant get enough....no tour. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stngfever Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Count me & 3 others in! If open to other Mustang Club's, I can get the word out to my local club in West Michigan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT93 Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 That sounds cool. It's really hard to get in though, I have a friend that works in the plant and I've been trying for years to see the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MY500SS Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 Dearborn 2008 was a blast. If TS puts it together, Marji and I will be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wulffy888 Posted February 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 I wish more would respond because I cant go to them and ask for just 20 or so people. I would like to see around 50 or so responses. If you know someone who would like to go, please have the input on here. I need to get back to them soon. Thanks for all that who replied already.

Oh8SnakeDriver Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Count on my wife and myself making this if you can get it arranged. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stngfever Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 I'll bet I could get 5 - 10 or more people to go if we had a date for this. One thought is to see how many you would need for this, a perspective date, how far in advance of that date to have the commitments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelbster Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 I have been wanting to do this since before I got my 2010 Shelby. I tried to get some info on this when I ordered mine back in September. My dealer tried to get with someone from FORD but it never happened. I think FORD should take note on what GM has been doing for years with th Corvett., It seems to be the right thing to do, you can even take delievery of them at the factory. Keep us up to date on what you find out and good luck! +4 for me, I can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebecke1 Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 My wife and I would go. We had a great time in 2008! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT93 Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 +2 for me. My girlfriend and I are all for going. We'd love to be part of the show and the plant tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattR Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Both my father-in-law and I ordered 2011 GT500's this year. Count 6 of us in at least. My brothers may want to go as well, so I could be up to 10 people. I would love to see my car built like the Corvette guys do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pup1234567 Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 Just took the Rouge complex tour today and thought it was EXCELLENT. I can't even imagine how great the AAI plant would be!!! +1 count at least myself in if not a few friends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madlock Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 Count me in - although until mine is built, I'll be the schmuck in the rental V6. I wonder if F Shareholder Relations might have any pull in making something happen? If not, I'm willing to buy one shift's worth of pizza and beer to be snuck in (after mine is built, of course).

SHELBYCS6 Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 In 2008, I did the AAI plant, the Romeo engine plant, Ford mansion and world headquarters car show with Shelby. This August I did the proving grounds with hot laps and water pad and the world headquarters with the Mustang Alley group at Woodward. The AAI experience was ok but for me not worth repeating....the Romeo tour was fantastic as well as the Ford mansion and the World headquarters car show. The proving grounds was insane and the highlight of my total automotive experience anywhere. If your attempting to get an event together the following is a MUST... World headquarters car show. Ford Mansion. Ford museum. Proving grounds with hot laps (Gary Patterson was there so I'm sure they have connections to make this happen) Romeo plant AAI for those that wish to attend. Oh yes...put myself and a guest down for attending all events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
