MJN Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 That is just cool how they send you update pics like that. Just have to be on the edge of your seat everytime you see that email of pics come to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svt13 Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 Damn it I wish you got suede on your seats. I have been wanting to see what their red recaro upgrade looks like but online it says you can have color and suede so I wanted to see what that would look like. But nice build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lbj Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 You'll like the museum delivery. It was my first expereince to see other people's reaction to my car. There are folks (tourists) coming and going through the main door, and your car will be right there. There will be open mouths and stares and you get a taste of the start of how things will be later.... ie the crowd pleasing aspect of owning a Shelby. I won't tell you about the rest, unless asked.

lbj Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Tell me the rest mi amigo..... You get to take a private tour of the production area. The tours do as well but it isn't the same thing. You'll get to see the lift station it was on and meet the person who did the majority of the build. I chose to have them sign the car. Richard, the production manager, did my museum delivery. Don't worry, I am telling it straight, Richard isn't anything like his robotic audio intro on his voicemail. Have you heard that yet? It's so funny. I met my salesman Jeremy, good guy, knows a whole lot of technical things. Roger too and I could list so many more, I bet I met and talked to at least 15 employees. Ask them to see the speed shop, Frankie is a hoot. And you never know, you might be using him for mods later down the line. I probably will. Now, I'm not a full fledged gear head yet, but the SAI employees are. I have to say, everywhere I went on the property, everyone would take the time to talk to me and answer any questions, and they were downright cheery. I suppose they are so happy because who wouldn't be if your hobby and professional life are one and the same. At least when I was present, it felt real nice and homey, the way all businesses should be with regard to customers. The place didn't feel like some faceless giant corporation. I am sure they have a few old grouches here and there, but I didn't meet any. You'll like the museum delivery jacket, at least I do. Now, people do gawk, that's for sure. I had heard the stories here from other forum members, but I was really unprepared for how good, and bad that can be. It started right there during delivery, people staring, asking me if that was my car. After delivery, I drove to Pahrump, and filled the tank at a Shell station. I went inside to for sustenance and when I came out, there was a crowd of six or seven people standing around the car admiring it. Once I showed up, the questions began. OK, so it can be a bit of a bother, but I had the time and answered the questions, popped the hood, et al. I guess I will have to get used to it. You're going to need to carry around a bottle of glass cleaner. In the 2 days I was testing and driving the car before turning it back in for shipping, everywhere I went, like a store, or coming out of a condo I stayed overnight in.... there they were, crecsent moon shaped hand prints on the glass where people were cupping their hands, shading their eyes from the sun, peering into the car for a better look.

lbj Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Oh, and you get a CD with about 40 high resolution photos of your car, starting with shots of your car earlier that day in front of their headquarters and then of you taking delivery, in your case, of a Super Snake. God help me, a SS would look right smart in my garage next to Svetanla. My wife would kill me, but I'd sure as heck finally get the Tremec I always dreamed of. I'm very opinionated and Members here and employees at SAI already know of my great disdain and utter contempt of the 6 Speed Getrag transmissions. You're gonna have a freakin' monster.
