Hmmm, Lance Stander is involved now. There is more incentive there now for it to be fixed quickly and properly.
It still may happen, John, that Roush/Bowler/Voss say yes this is what actually happened, we did it wrong, we're sorry, we will fix it for you John, better than new. They could actually turn it around to be a positive thing for themselves as well as fixing it to your satisfaction. A positive PR action rather than a PR nightmare.
Will that happen? Up to you, Roush/Bowler/Voss.
Best wishes John.
Cheers,
Glen

Nothing against Voss performance as I dont know them and have never dealt with them and I hope they provide the level of support needed to get this fixed asap. Stepping up is delivering a car that runs more than 78 miles before it breaks. Stepping up is not trying to point the fingers at everyone else and getting it fixed. For Tin Man's sake I hope you do that. When you spend $100-130K on a car I would expect it can do more than ride around the block, complex or not. An auto trans to a big block isnt rocket science but this 511 seems to elude the smartest people in engine building how to mkae it reliable.

I have a V-8 as the commercial goes but for the $40K plus anyone looking to spend that much on an engine should call KC about a SOHC. It just wasnt available 2 1/2 years ago.

People are smoking crack if they think Roush "steps up" to make things right.Only after months and months and threats of lawsuits do we get a flawed engine back that after 1700 milesand 2 1/2 years is still not sorted out. You are barking up the wrong tree here in Phoenix if you think you will find a supporter of Roush and the 511 here. There are too many of us that have had to deal with them on this motor to EVER reccomend it.
