Evan & RedCSX: Both of you guys have mentioned that you think the SA CSX cars come with more standard features than ERA and SPF. I have been looking at all 3 Rollers and would say that ERA probably comes with the least amount of "standard" equipment (I think it's because a lot of ERA guys like to build their own, or do a partial build, and like to "customize" their cars with different equipment, so they offer a lot of choices verses "standard" stuff). But the Shelby doesn't come close to having as many standard features as an SPF does. As I stated in a earlier post, by the time I added everything to the SA CSX car that I was getting on the SPF as standard, the 3K difference (37K vs 40K) ballooned to almost a 10K difference (and it will be an even BIGGER difference starting in November when the CSX rollers go to 42.5K!). Hal pointed out a lot of the features found on a "standard" SPF earlier, and I heard they are now coming with a larger rear swaybar (the Olthoff upgrade) as standard equipment, and they also upgraded to a polished spinner on the new models.
A couple things you forgot to mention that you HAVE to pay extra for on the Shelby roller that most people would probably want (and these are all standard on SPF):
Lemans Striping: 1225.00
Heater / Defroster: 875.00
Tonneau cover: 750.00
Door map pockets: 275.00
Oil Cooler System: 975.00
Glove Box: 275.00
Side view mirror: 75.00 (they even get you for a mirror!)
The brochure says the car comes with leather seats, but under "options" they have listed: Leather seats assembly: 1450.00 and also: Leather Interior S/C package: 1450.00. *I don't know what that means (?).
They also don't list a bonnet top for the Shelby (standard on SPF) under "Standard" or "Options". Do they come with one? If the tonneau cover is 750.00 than what do you think the top would run?? The shelby is also set up for a 4-speed and if you would want a 5-speed, it's another 200.00 for mount modifications. I would imagine that if you want to put something other than a FE in it, you would have to pay extra as well since it's set up for a 427 (I can't argue with them about that though!). It also comes with 2-piston Baer brakes vs. 4-piston Wilwoods on the SPF. One nice feature, however, is the 23 gal fuel cell vs. a 17 gal for the SPF. Need all the gas you can get in these thirsty beasts!
