Paxton Supercharger, Super-Cheap????? (http://www.dallasmustang.com/online-catalog/browse/link/t=item,c=dm-latemodel,v=dallmust,i=9898)

Somebody, anybody, want to test out and buy it? :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:
I don't have the balls to..... But if you do buy it, order 2 please, and ship one of them to me for providing this link. :biggrin:

There was nothing on that page and the price was $0.00.

Well, they don't have to have a picture, but the description is fairly clear.... :biggrin:

If it said it on the site they have to give it to you at that price! I have delt with this before and if it can be proven that it was that price then it yours.:biggrin:

should I order one?? I dont want to get ripped off 6 bucks though

NorCalCoug
12-13-2001, 01:42 AM
Okay, here's my strategy.

I'm going to order it tomorrow.

I'm going to use a credit card that only has 100 bucks available.

I took pictures of the webpage, I saved a screenshot, and I have two witnesses at work who saw it too. You are also all witnesses to seeing it.

I'm going to put in the order and see what happens. I'll let y'all know? :biggrin:

yo guys i tryed it already. hehe. notthing like a 6 dollar supercharger kit

OverLamer
12-13-2001, 06:52 AM
if this works i'll take one let me know if you get it
cause its quite possible that the company will ship it and just assume payment was made due the computer saying it was, but i would save the screenshots and download the catalog

Just curious how did you get to that page. because it won't let me go there from the home menu.
hmmm???

NorCalCoug
12-13-2001, 12:14 PM
I was looking for pictures of the Paxton Cougar, so I went to google, typed in 'paxton cougar' and there the link was... Not my fault the webmaster didn't deny access to 'robots' or 'spiders'.... :biggrin:

qstorm
12-13-2001, 09:50 PM
so far it looks like i might get it. they just sent me a email confirmation. :) we'll see what happen next

NorCalCoug
12-13-2001, 10:49 PM
I did it too, but I accidentally ordered 2. DArn. ;)

NorCalCoug
12-15-2001, 12:48 AM
Okay, minor update:

Ordered, got an email receipt stating the total cost + estimated shipping cost. Haven't received a call saying 'Uh, we're sorry, we fooooked it up bigtime.' :)

EdgeCat
12-15-2001, 01:22 AM
What did the total cost say?

That's the same thing I got... If I don't hear from them in the next 30 days, I'm gonna call and get my 6 bucks back.

DEVIOUSDEV
12-15-2001, 03:33 AM
Just ordered mine too:biggrin:

I hope we aren't crazy, and don't just end up with a sticker or something;)

CougarRacer
12-15-2001, 03:55 AM
I really doubt that they would send a piece of equipment that cost thousands out for free, but here's for hopeing.

DannyBoy
12-15-2001, 03:57 AM
will it work on a I4 if so im going to risk the 6 bucks....yes/no?

CougarRacer
12-15-2001, 04:24 AM
I don't think so, but I could be wrong.

MC
12-15-2001, 02:33 PM
If they give you a shipping #, track it and keep us posted.

OverLamer
12-15-2001, 03:57 PM
i ordered one, maby they think they are useless and are trying to get rid of them;)
hopefully i dont end up with a $3500 shipping and handleing bill

Wick
12-15-2001, 04:19 PM
I ordered mine too! $6!!! This should be good! :biggrin:

Wick
12-15-2001, 04:35 PM
Well, I got an e-mail from them that confirms the order. Now they are screwed! Does anyone know a good lawyer. I have a feeling we won't be getting our $3500 SC for Free. Who knows???:tongue:

CougarRacer
12-15-2001, 04:37 PM
I have a feeling we all just lost $6. :)

NorCalCoug
12-15-2001, 05:15 PM
Oh well, for 6 bucks it was worth a shot? :) But like everyone said, we'll just have to wait and see! :biggrin:

Wick
12-15-2001, 06:06 PM
no way! I didn't loose $6! I'll call them up and chew some @ss! If they don't send a product I don't think they will be taking anything off of my Credit Card!

OverLamer
12-16-2001, 02:00 AM
the only thing that scares me is that the shipping charge is an estimate, I'm hoping that the shipping department thinks "the computer said its ordered ship it". I didnt even know paxton made a SC kit for our that was ever in production. Either way ill have fun listening to them explain why they cant give me the kit I ordered, or if I'm lucky have fun trying to figure out how to install it on my atx!

NorCalCoug
12-16-2001, 08:22 AM
Won't fit on an ATX, unless you get a REALLY creative mechanic and alot of money.... :biggrin:

Wick
12-16-2001, 03:29 PM
why can't they be installed on a ATX and they can a MTX? THe engine is the same.

OverLamer
12-16-2001, 04:01 PM
norcal if i get the SC trust me it will get put on
wick: different size transmission ATX is bigger and in the way

MC
12-16-2001, 04:01 PM
The automatic transmission is physically larger than the MTX. There isn't enough room for the S/C and related components.

NorCalCoug
12-16-2001, 04:29 PM
The Paxton SC is large enough to require a battery relocate (or you can get one of those 300 dollar racing batteries that are the size of a medium-sized dictionary...) Do a search on google.com for 'paxton cougar' and see if you can find pics of the engine compartment...

12-16-2001, 06:06 PM
I ordered one.... fingers are crossed that would definately be 6$ well spent!!!;)

EdgeCat
12-16-2001, 07:31 PM
NorCalCoug... if you actually get this thing for 6 bucks, I want you to PM/AIM/email/call/come find me and let me know. I don't care WHAT I'm doing or where I am, I'm finding myself a computer and ordering. :)

I hope that we could be luck and get the superchip like what they said...but i afraid that they just send us some kind of junk...however it good to give a try only six bucks, not bad.

i will try one myself.

Superchip?
I think you mean Supercharger.

PDitty
12-17-2001, 06:20 PM
Just ordered mine I will be so amazed and incredibly happy if this works. Patrick

PacmanTravis
12-17-2001, 06:49 PM
heeheehee..i ordered mine too

AirWolf
12-17-2001, 08:14 PM
heh, I ordered mine too!! I smell a $6.00 supercharger!!!

AirWolf
12-17-2001, 08:30 PM
after thinking about it....didn't paxton discontinue the production of the supercharger for our car?

MC
12-17-2001, 09:22 PM
Yyyyyyyyyup

AirWolf
12-18-2001, 12:40 AM
yeah, that's what I thought. We'll see how long it takes them to figure out what the problem is.

Wick
12-18-2001, 01:37 PM
Has anyone heard anything about the SC that they ordered? I haven't!:disgust:

OverLamer
12-18-2001, 03:29 PM
not me, but the web page is still there so they havent fixed it yet

AirWolf
12-18-2001, 04:57 PM
me neither. I have a feeling that they will just ignore the orders, since they don't have any product to ship!

Wick
12-18-2001, 07:05 PM
Those Bastards!:mad: I payed good money for that!:biggrin:

Wick
12-18-2001, 07:06 PM
Hey, maybe someone should call them and ask if their order has been shipped.

OverLamer
12-18-2001, 08:17 PM
id just wait, maby they dont provide a confirmation that its been shipped, no sense bringing it to their attention

Wick
12-18-2001, 08:31 PM
tru dat!

NorCalCoug
12-19-2001, 01:17 AM
Everybody needs to be shhhhhhhhh real quiet about it. Just wait a couple weeks. If nobody gets one, then call. Don't jinx us by talking about it! :biggrin:

Manx
12-19-2001, 02:49 AM
:eek::biggrin::cool: I had to stand up and have my friend read the screen to make sure my eyes weren't playing tricks on me! I placed my order for the $6 supercharger. Let's see what happens in a few days.

Manx
12-19-2001, 03:50 AM
Ok, now that I settled back down... assuming these guys hook us up with the superchargers, anyone know if the stock clutch is gonna handle this very well? hehe.:cool:

You silly silly boys....Well I guess I'm silly too because I just ordered mine LOL

To all you people that ordered...
I ordered last week and this is what they said:

MR. ROGERS,

We received your net order but, unfortunately, the description does not match the product number and it did not list a price. Please e-mail us back with the information or contact David at 1-800-MUSTANG.

Thank you-MALISA

Translation: "Paxton Supercharger for a Mercury Cougar?? We don't have any of these! OOPS!! Want to buy something else instead?"

Dopeshiet7
12-19-2001, 04:49 PM
Yup!

Wick
12-19-2001, 07:51 PM
POOP!!!!:mad:

Ah well, can't blame us for trying. :biggrin:
