Default Help me understand this..

With all respect, guys....were your cars NOT set up by your SPF dealer when you bought them? I find it unconscionable a reputable SPF dealer would sell anyone a car without performing a 4-wheel alignment BEFORE it was delivered to you. Of course, if you purchased a used car from an individual, I would certainly understand a mis-aligned car more easily.

I purchased #770 new from Olthoff Racing in October, 2000. The car was perfectly lined up...and each concentric was marked with red or white paint so if it were to ever need re-alignment, all someone had to do was turn the concentrics until the paint lined up again.

We need to know which dealers are selling cars without performing adequate service prior to delivery. Those are dealerships that need to be called out for thier incompetence. No one needs to do business with those folks until they understand and address their responsibilities to their customers. This is not the first time I have read of complaints by SPF owners that they found something wrong with their car that, IMHO, should have been discovered and addressed by the selling dealership prior to delivery. I know there are dealers who simply say..."Sell the car...we'll worry about what's wrong after delivery!" That kind of attitude will be the death of a dealership...no matter what brand they sell.

A new SPF in a new owners driveway should be the absolute BEST advertisement for the Superformance marque. Anything less than that is simply unacceptable.

IMHO...of course.
