[QUOTE="Tob, post: 16308068, member: 83412"] I've been watching for months waiting to see when Ford would receive an Executive Order from the California Air Resources Board as well as a Certificate of Conformity with the US EPA for applicable emissions regulations related to the 2020 GT500. Interestingly enough, both were issued on the same day, 9/10/2019. I don't recall them previously being approved at the same time but regardless, they are finally in. I also pulled certifications for the 2020 GT350 and the Camaro with the supercharged 6.2L engine. The 2020 GT350 was given an EO from CARB on 9/03/2019 and the 2020 Camaro (6.2L) on 6/13/2019. Generally speaking, GM has had their certifications in place across their car lines ahead of Ford. Considering federal law regarding emissions and sales of vehicles falling under said mandates, Ford cut it a little close. CARB...
