  1. Looks like GM is rubbing the ROI in Ford's face....... May 14 2014 CHEVROLET NAMED OFFICIAL TRUCK OF NHRA The National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) has signed a multi-year agreement with Chevrolet, designating the U.S. vehicle manufacturer as the Official Truck of NHRA. As the Official Truck of NHRA, Chevrolet will have a major on-site presence at all NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series events. Most notably, the all-new Chevrolet Silverados and Suburbans will be used by the legendary NHRA Safety Safari presented by AAA for emergency response and track preparation. The dependability and capability of these trucks are paramount to the legendary safety team performing its trackside duties. “Chevrolet is proud to partner with the series as the Official Truck of NHRA, and are honored that our Silverados and Suburbans will be utilized by the NHRA Safety Safari,” said Jim Campbell, vice president of Performance Vehicles and Motorsports. “Our involvement in NHRA allows us to showcase the most dependable, longest-lasting trucks in America to our customers and fans, and to fans of NHRA drag racing.” The sponsorship increases Chevrolet’s involvement in NHRA Drag Racing. The Chevrolet Performance brand is the title sponsor for the world’s most prestigious drag race, the Chevrolet Performance U.S. Nationals, held each Labor Day weekend near Indianapolis. Additionally, several drivers race Chevrolet Camaros in the Pro Stock class including Greg Anderson, Dave Connolly, Erica Enders-Stevens, Shane Gray and Jason Line, and Chevrolet is the preferred choice of many Sportsman racers. “NHRA provides a unique platform for Chevrolet to reach out in a very personal way to our very loyal fan base,” said Gary Darcy, NHRA senior vice president of sales and marketing. “Chevrolet will have a great opportunity to expose its products to NHRA fans and, at the same time, share its connection with NHRA through its extensive dealer network.” During a span of 24 years (from 1985-2008), GM partnered with NHRA as an official sponsor through various brands. “Chevrolet has a tremendous history of involvement with NHRA at the series level, event level and team level,” Darcy added. “Chevrolet’s expansion of its NHRA sponsorship reaffirms the fact that the NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series provides a great return-on-investment.”
  2. Richard, are you saying they would install defective parts to replace a defective part just to exhaust stock?
  3. What about the door handle? That's not a software flash.
  4. Ford stock was down today. But I'm trying to figure if it was due to the month sales or the announcement of Fields taking the helm. Thoughts?
  5. My eyes, my eyes........God make it stop.
  6. And that is the 64 million dollar question. And in the mean time you have a customer that is upset for spending his / her hard earned money on a car with a warranty that is not honored.
  7. So if the thread pulled out, that would be poor workmanship I would think. Am I missing something? LOL on the goth.
  8. I don't understand why customers get treated like this, I really don't. You can usually tell when a car is abused or not.
  9. "The 6 speed manual should be a hoot to drive...." Not with just 120 HP it's not.
  10. If it's that bad you can either step up to the plate so you can get promoted, or you can leave the company and get a new job. I have a feeling you would do neither one.
  11. So say I was using the line lock in my driveway and an axle snaps. Is it going to be covered or not? Are they going to say I was abusing the car? Very grey area if you ask me.
  12. That's why I asked it as a question. But read the 4th paragraph!
  13. So they give you these apps and if you use them it voids the warranty? Besides not a good idea (line lock) with IRS.
  14. Is Ford going to use the Aston Martin type grill on all the cars? I don't think it looks good on the smaller cars. What say you?
  15. I'm all for that. Ford GT with a 6.2 twin turbo Ecoboost.
  16. But Ford really doesn't compete against Ferrari, Mercedes, Renault, (maybe a little with BMW) but not really. So what is the draw for doing so?
  17. 4 pages is nothing. There are 546 pages about a competitive Ford Pro Stock car in NHRA on one of the forums I frequent.
  18. Indycar rules allows dual turbos. A perfect place to show off Ecoboost.
  19. Just let it go. Ford is not going to change the 50th Anniversary date. God, you people are so anal.
