Really sorry to hear about your problems. I'm interested in what caused your oil consumption and what you did to fix it.
I recently purchased a Superformance with a Roush 427SR, seems the car has been well maintained and taken care of. Those who knew the car with the previous owner support this. But I have found under normal driving conditions it is consuming a bit or oil. No real leaks, no smoke, so I'm kind of confused. Will do a compression and leak down test maybe this weekend to set what that tells me.

Cause it's broken, silly... you know the rules  !
You should document the original problems, and contact them again, very politely but firmly indicating that the problem started while it was under warranty and was never fixed to your satisfaction, and, therefore, they need to step up to the plate to make it right. You may have to do this in writing, but this might be just enough to get them to look into it for you.
Good luck!

LMAO, ye of little faith, Roush is fixin' mine as we speak and the ecm should be ready in a week or so and the reinstal and testing completed by middle of next month. Timing is good since I have to be Stateside during November so maybe I'll get to put more than 78 miles on it this time. 
Cheers, tin-man

James, Mark Yagelo, same guy as you. The issue with mine was I waited one and a half years for a my car and finally took delivery, but after driving it for a total of 78 miles it stopped. If you get a chance read my post, 78 miles. Needless to say, Superformance, Bowler Transmissions, Roush and Voss Performance had a very compelling reason to get this car fixed since there had been a lot of press about this car during the build cycle.
Current fix for the grabbing affect is have the ecm recalibrated to reduce the high idle. The ecm will be reflashed and reinstalled shortly and we'll see. All the other issues with the auto transmission not working have been fixed by Bowler and Voss Performance.
BTW, Mark is a straight up guy, hard to reach, but a straight shooter.
Good luck with your issue.
Cheers, John, AKA, tin-man
