csx4000 build shut down?

tddnepa · #1 (**permalink**) 11-26-2003, 10:32 PM

I don't mean to start a rumor here, i'm just trying to find out if something i heard is true. Please slam away if it's bunk.

did the plant that's supposed to be building the new S A shelbys go under? what i heard was they went under, adn now they're re-opened but just building gt40s... two new csx4000s shipped and then zippo unless something changes

truth or fiction? anyone?

What was your source? Was it a publication, or a web site, or...?

That "rumor" has been floated around here in several threads now. The most recent reference to it was from a newbie and it was his FIRST post.

Ya think we should believe him? 'Cause if you do, I got a bridge you might want to buy!

This thread deals with the issue.

edly, Je-zus, man... it's just something i heard. do you work for CNN or something?

my source was a someone who told me. i never met him before today, and have no reason to believe or disbelieve him. Not being one given to leaps of faith, i figured i'd ask here, figuring a few people might know something. i live to debunk.

in reference to the other thread (thanks, Ex), i don't have any opinion on Shelby cars or any other manufacturers. Hell, i dont have a cobra yet, and i'd love to get a new CSX4000 when they turn up if they're solid. I'd just as much love an SPF or an ERA if that ends up the way i go.

i just heard it, so I thought i'd ask.

tddnepa,
You are NOT the first one trying to verify if the rumors you heard are true or not. Nothing worng with that. It would be in the interest of ALL members if we can put those rumors to rest once and for all.
Can you tell me your sources? I promise to go all the way up to the horse's mouth to hear what they have to say.

If you don't feel comfortable in sharing that source in public, please feel free to send it to me in private, and I will do due dilligence to get an answer for all the members.

Thanks

I smell BS

tddnepa · #12 (**permalink**) 11-28-2003, 05:58 PM

turk,

i emailed ate@gasholes.com... emailed it from my yahoo id, which is zenplatyps@yahoo.com. here's the text of what i emailed you (both times).

Date: Fri, 28 Nov 2003 05:34:33 -0800 (PST)
From: "Tom Dudra" <zenplatyps@yahoo.com>
Subject: from TDDNEPA (clubcobra) RE: rumor about shelby plant in S A
To: ate@gasholes.com

turk,

i don't know what happened... i tried to send this in
pvt mail on Clubcobra, but i must haev dropped the
ball.

anyway, i heard this when i was at a local backdraft
dealer on wednesday. We got to talking, and i
mentioned the new shelbys. He shook his head (his name
is Mike, just for the record) and said they had gone
under, and he didn't know if those cars were EVER
going to turn up.

while i was there he called someone else and asked
them about it. whoever he talked to told him it was
true, but that two cars had shipped, and now the plany
was re-opened, but only making GT40s.

who can say?

i don't necessarily believe him...rumors fly in every
business. But by the same token, in the other thread i
read about this, it was ka-bashed (as i understand it)
by someone working for shelby, so the same caution
applies in the opposite direction (what are they GONNA
say?).

so, Im 50/50 on it until someone can corroborate or
dismiss.

thanks
Tom

...and BlueR,

how can you smell BS from me, when all i did was ask a damn question? You're all the experts...i came here to GET an answer, not to say anything.

y'know what... Turk... all the rest of you... look into it, don't look into it, i don't give a crap. I've been here two weeks, trying to do some research to pick a car to buy, and i thought this site would be a source of information, but instead it's more like a damn soap opera.

does someone actually want to discourse about these cars that the things that are different about them, or is everyone a freakin' spy of some kind?

screw it, i'll just wait and see if the cars show up or not.

sorry i asked...

BlueRooster · #14 (**permalink**) 11-28-2003, 06:10 PM

OK, OK the smell is starting to thin a little, but it was gettin stinky in here...maybe Turk had mexican for lunch.

tddnepa · #15 (**permalink**) 11-28-2003, 06:16 PM

turk,

can you read it now? or should i contact Brent to see why the forums aren't working as well? :P

Blue,

sorry i spazzed, but you people take a little getting used to, it must be said.

sheesh...and i thought we audiophiles were a catty bunch!

misfit41 · #16 (**permalink**) 11-28-2003, 07:58 PM

I too am curious,but it seems that any thing negative about any company always comes from a competive company,it is really hard to believe someone from BDR would get wind before any one else here,with all the connections on this site,,
Come on Turk,say it ain't so before you guys see me on the news in Vegas with my Varmint rifle,,I dont look good in stripes.
Tk

y'know what, tdd... it is a soap opera.... fueled by innuendo and gossip and jealousy and...

calm a bit and take a step or two back. a good way to do research is to read what others say factually and ask questions... ask the manufacturer's themselves.

When Brand A tells you bad news about Brand B, that's not research, that's gossip.

Just pick up the phone and call SA's 800 number, ask for Bob Marsh and ask him the question.

tddnepa · #18 (**permalink**) 11-28-2003, 09:18 PM

misfit... good point, i can certainly do that. but by posting in the shelby section of the manufacturer's forum, i kinda thought that's what i WAS doing...

just sayin.

Turk · #19 (**permalink**) 11-28-2003, 11:55 PM

Thanks,
I just got home to read the post that you made public. It is probably best that way.
I will forward the post to folks at Shelby as high as I can. I am sure they will have a thing or two to say.
For the sake of those who have deposits, I for one hope that rumors are just that. Rumors. But hard to say if they are not made public.

tddnea,
It is NOT important that I see it. It is more important that folks at Shelby do.

FOR THE RECORD, I JUST WENT THROUGH 251 PIECES OF EMAIL, THE WAS NONE FROM YOU. I am glad you posted it here..

i believe you, turk..something must have happened to it. maybe i typed the name wrong or something. It just seemed like an accusatory tone to what you said about the email, which i found bemusing.

anyway, thanks for looking into it.
