Very true, and I can not see it getting any better in the near future. The last two years have been pathetic. Chevy produces a COPO that is a turn key package ready to go racing, Ford has nothing but cars on paper, how sad.

That's such shame, a program that can make money for Ford has completely gone off the rails with incompetence and corruption.


Thanks Jesse, I'm glad we now know why this program has gone down hill. Maybe after it has bottomed out, Ford will clean house and put the right people back in place to right the ship
