Question Now what ?

Ok tonight I came home with out the new bolt.
Man, I wait 5mos and the dealer get in the wrong color! The other six he got are sold.
Maybe I should wait for the 2001, for that ride should have more HP (400 I hear)...?

JRW(Jim):

Nitrous or chip and filter? Maybe 40hp on the latter.... If so, where'd you get the other 30hp?
Not flaming, just curious if I missed a great mod.....

Thumbs down

My deepest sympathy for you. That has to be an absolute night mare. From seeing other posts there are still dealers out there that have not filled all their orders. I would get on the phone and start making some calls and see if you can order one from another dealer.

Jim:

Sorry. Thinking RWHP not SAE net at the flywheel.

My mistake.

Uhhh.....

gee....tough question. Red, Black, White or Silver? ;-)

Come-on bud!!!!

I ended up taking a Red one. I had purchased a black one but they didn't realize that it was already pre-sold to a Ford of Canada employee. I wasn't happy at first but it really has grown on me and I love it. Sure, the colour matters, but not as much as what is under the hood!!!!

Have fun and take one while you can!

I am still having a tough time seeing how they ordered you the wrong colour. There are just so many choices.....
