terumi71 Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 I received a Shelby Owner Vehicle Evaluation email and was wondering if anyone else had received it. Says this company will give me $200 to drive some cars on a test track if I give them my opinion about the car. Sounds phishy to me. Anyone else receive this email?

stewarbc Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 I received one too. Looks bogus. Appears to be a survey/marketing/data gathering type firm. I think this is the link below to the "supposed company". Also, the sender is the constant contact website that is email marketing. One of the ways they reach large numbers of respondents is through email. I'm not touching it with 10 foot pole. Shelby American should check as the email appears to have been sent from the Shelby American Store. (presumably from the email server). http://www.rdscypress.com/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAD SNAKE Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 I got one too. It says, the project will take place Dec '11, I think that's this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuickSilverShelby Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 Got mine today too. $200 bucks for a couple hours driving, sounds good, and it'll only cost me $1500 to arrange all the travel and hotels to jump on this. Too bad, if it's real, it sounds like fun but it's too far to go. QSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon H Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 I\I got one also. I suspect these are going out in mass tonight. They don't ask for too much information, but I would hate to end up on someones telemarketing list. Maybe I'll call their office tomorrow. Any feedback from SAI would be helpful.

robertlane Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 Yes, we did send this notice out. It is legitimate and the goal is to get Shelby owners more involved in the development of future products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

07SGT4578 Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 Thanx for clearing it up Robert, I received it too, and like others thought it was a scam. Too bad I cant make it to LA on such short notice. UGH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Hamilton Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 Looks like it could be be fun .... other than the fact I'm 3,000 miles away and getting ready to tack on another 7,000 east of that for about 10 days.

NordicShelby Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 What is the actual date of the test? I would be all over this if we have a few snotice. It sure would be fun to see how quick I can trash the brakes. I got the email as well and thought it was a scam as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EL SHELBY Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 Yes, very short notice considering the Holiday is only a week and a half out. The lack of dates doesn't help either. I can only assume the lack of info on logistics was intentional to help limit the number of partisapents and crashers. However, I love the fact that Shelby is trying to capture the thoughts of the enthusiast. I did a simular customer evaluation several years ago on midsized pick-ups. I'm pretty sure GM sponsored it, and I was more than happy to tell them what I thought about their product. It actually turned me on to the Tacoma. A truck I may not have ever considered otherwise. Who ever gets in on this please report back with details unless instructed not to by Shelby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
