Cal,
I think your logical choice would be the best if Ford wasn't experiencing it's own internal problems. Visteon has laid off several workers at it's Connersville plant and the internal speculation is currently that Ford is seriously entertaining moving its compresssor assembly operations to Mexico effectively closing two US plants. The Ford dealership here looks like it's under quarantine and the salesmen are happy to see ANYBODY new to talk with on the showroom floor.

Ron,
"Poppycock" ? Who has a better advertising campaign outside of SAI? Why do you think Shelby targeted SPF in a lawsuit that continues like the Energizer Bunny? Is there any manufacturer better funded? If this isn't a factor then why are CAV dealings
being established in South Africa directly across from the new Superformance factory? Coincidence ? I don't think so.

Ernie,
the operative word is "was". With all due respect, the man is 80 years old and the rules have changed. Consider this, do you understand teenagers now or the philosophy that the current college graduates will change professions, not employment, but actual career directions at least 3 times during their productive years? Ask Shelby how to operate a computer of even how to fine tune a Series 1 and I bet that you'll get a response similar to:
"That's what I hire others to do". Nothing wrong with that except it's costly!
