We are not closed, it is business as usual. Our engine builder Mike said Chris was a salesman only. He doesn't know where the mechanic, engine builder stuff came from.

Parhen4 has no profile, came out of nowhere shilling CSE Gardena and the new guy, and his/her first post is in defense of Shelby? Uh, ok!

And the department was never closed?

Boy, you guys are something else!

As of early December, CSE pulled the plug and wasn't going to be doing engines or parts - as some of you were told by the receptionist when you called - and SAI was supposed to be doing the engine stuff exclusively. CSE was going to produce blocks for SAI, and nothing more.

I was at Shelby yesterday picking up some tires (non-Goodyear, LOL) I had left there. I saw some engine parts and asked what happened to them closing up. They told me SAI couldn't pay their bills, so here we are, CSE is open for business again after a month and a half of SAI taking the helm. I hope no-one takes that as an inflammatory comment, as A) I am just repeating what was told, and B) it's no secret SAI has been having huge financial problems for a long time.

Regarding legality issues, if you live in certain states and purchase both your car and your engine from Shelby in Las Vegas, Shelby will be in violation of Federal Law and you will be in violation of State Law. Check it out for yourself with the government. I repeat, the government, not with an individual, not with a company, and not with Shelby.

I wish Ed, CSE, SAI, and their customers the best.

The end. You can resume your normal programming now, hopefully leaving me out of it.

I don't lurk here, so if you want to reach me, you will need to email me.

-Chris



P.S., Hi Ernie, Hi Crilly.
