I was wondering what was taking so long at that price.. Hope this year's a good one for you... How many rollers do you have available..

January is the toughest month to sell these. Everyone is getting over the holidays and looking to pay their taxes etc. Last year we timed the special into February (when things pick up). Also with Club Cobra in and out for a month the message did not get out as quickly. We only advertise the special here (it is on our Web site but not even posted in our shop).

Of course this year we have the price increase slated for February, so that prevented the special from rolling into that month.

If someone came in with a deposit before the 1st of Feb. I could probably do one more special since one of the customers substituted out for a Roush engine.

Don't really have many rollers between now and April. Most rollers have already been placed on deposit by new owners. I'm sure a dealer or two out there may have one, but we are transitioning to a pre-order model.

I am thinking that would be me.

Jay,

You guys do a first class job, I love window shopping your websight. The photo package you guys do during the build is second to none. The $44,500 special was a fantastic deal, if people did not get off the fence and jump I doubt they ever will. I jumped but went with something similiar to a BDR but a little different since I had owned a BDR in the past. Sometimes I wonder why I ever sold it besides the fact someone threw alot of cash in front of me, LOL!!

Thanks for your kind words. I hoped I could one day sell you a BDR again since you were always a good voice for what they are and what they could be (and have become). Though you'd have to move out of Texas now to buy one from me.

We do what we can. Our involvement and customer base from the forums opens us up to a lot more criticism (and praise) and so far we are balancing it all I think.

There are some great examples (and brothers) that have given us a model to follow. A very challenging industry to work in, and very nerve racking calling it your livelihood. I hope this year can be the BIG one and allow us to get to "phase 2"
