Roush has a looooooong history of slow for repair work once the customer takes possession and ask for as much paperwork/proof of install as possible. For spending well north of $100K on a car you would think you would get more paperwork than a 2 page receipt of the list of the car and compnents. I would also make sure you ask for Roush warranty in writing (I got none) and scpific things that will void the warranty. Roush is fuzzy on those details but will be fast to try to void the warranty saying you did something worng if the motor has problems. Take it form someone who knows the hard way!

Wow, after visiting Voss in California an bein' all jazzed up at seeing my car after a very long and tiresome 28 hour flight from China, seems there is still a loooooooong way to go with the install. The current estimate is early February partly due to the holidays and also seein' as Roush has yet to deliver on the missing parts for the engine- tranny assembly. I guess a lot of the install is driven around the engine tranny combo being installed first and everything else follows.
Well at least I got to get a feely touchy experience and saw the roller from all angles, checked out the Mickey T's, paid my respects to the Beast and his torque [really mean lookin'] and took a pile of pictures. Eric of Voss Performance tells me he will be driving the car for well over 100 miles during the pre-hand over phase to sort out any "issues", debug rattles, screw tightening phase,etc. so that's good. Certainly better than me drivin' in Phoenix six months later and finding several "issues" and having it shipped back to California for fixin'.
Anyway, while slightly dissapointed I can wait an' jus' keep lookin' at the pictures and yelling varooom, varoom.
So, dear readers, tin-man wishes all, a fine Christmas Holiday, and a New Year filled with Joy, Happiness, Good Health and all the pleasures that come to you while driving your Cobra.
Cheers, John, AKA, tin-man
