You can get the delivery code and name of the container ship from your dealer once the car is completed and ready for shipment to the U.S., so you can track it during its Atlantic crossing :D
Always a fun pastime, especially during hurricane season :LOL:

They won't let me join because the car is not in my posession yet. I'm in limbo until I actually receive the car.
Nobody wants me!:CRY: |

You mean to say you've actually wrenched on a CSX and found it to be the poorest quality over something else that you personally worked on? Or just hearsay?

The first CSX I saw had to have most of the wiring and all of the fuel and brake lines rerouted because Las Vegas routed them in such a way as to make them susceptible to severe damage under normal driving conditions. The second one I saw Las Vegas put the wrong gas tank in, even the filler neck was in the wrong place (3-4 inches off). They had to have known about the mistake but shipped them anyway. The owners were both left to fix them themselves. The one with the fuel tank screw up found out when he ran the tank dry and was only able to put 15 gallons back in.
Turned me off to them! |

I have seen the newer ones built in SA next to one of the older ones. The SA built car was far superior in build quality. One of the places that has done some work on my car was a Shelby dealer when they were being built in Mexico, and they said they had to rebuild some of the cars because the poor condition they were recieved in. |

Well, you guys won out.
Ordered new SPF last Friday. Rousch 427 SR/TW polished to go in it.
Thanks for helping me decide.
Now, how do you make the time fly till it's ready to drive.

Indigo blue with Viper steel gray stripes.
It's just sitting in the showroom at Hillbank looking very lonely and light while Roush builds the engine.. |

Btw - Have you been reading the thread regarding SB100? There still may be some available. All you need is your MSO and an estimated cost for the engine and trans.

Congrats on the purchase...I'm of the opinion that the best Cobra out there - bar-none...is the one that finally "YOURS"...

I saw that. Once I get my paperwork, I'm heading down to DMV to see if any numbers are still left. |
