That way Ford is off the hook.
Then we could create an entire new bureaucracy of enforcement, with emission sniffers hidden near every Boss owner, and a nonConstitutional law authored by Petooski/Reider requiring all those that don't want a Boss, to pay for the enforcement of 4000 Boss owners and their grossly polluting, non Carb, baby killing, off road, track only Red Key. Think of all the new jobs the Red Key Agency would create! Then we could make those rich bastard GT500 owners pay for it with a healthy tax increase.
Yeah that's it!
Anybody got the number for the Whitehouse? I need to make a call... the Resident needs this for his re-election.
That was not a political commentary - I only do that in the non-public political threads.
But PASS THIS BOSS BILL NOW!

That doesn't LOOK like a factory air box/tube...?
As is chassis envy

Ironic. CARB? I throught everything was fuel injected now 
Another case of that state making life less fun for everyone else.
Seriously, if Trackey makes it run so rich that it burns out cats, don't you think Ford would know that by now? I bet it's a tax thing.

My $.02. CARB (and the 16 states tha adhere to these guidelines) weren't put in place overnight. Ford, like every other auto company probably has a department with a hundred or more engineers focused on emissions, standards, compliance, etc. CARB didn't promise us the Red Key.... Ford did. Also, I'm sure there hasn't been a single CARB rule that has changed effecting 2012 model year vehicles since Ford has been promising Track Key.
Trust me, I'm far from a CARB lover/defender. Ford promised us this capability and it is Ford that should deliver and stop pointing fingers at this reason or that. Get over it. You can't put a key out that's small enough for toddler to swallow and choke and you sure as hell can't put a vehicle out in 16 states without CARB emissions compliance. Duh?
