Quality Issues?

As I get closer to my expected delivery date for CSX6045 I'm thinking about some of the broad and general comments I've read regarding quality issues with some of the SA cars. I'd like to hear about some specific issues others have experienced that I should be looking for, especially those that wouldn't be found during a routine inspection. Thanks.

The only things I've found so far are the electrical connections come loose and you will likely need to solder at least a few of them and the oil pressure gauge line fitting where it goes into the gauge will likely need some thread tape/sealer on it or it will drip oil. I'd ask your installer to check this last one and fix it for you. It's a pain to get under there.

I always think about this thread when I think about the CSX:

I've poked around a CSX at Hillbank. It was made by Hi Tech. It looked pretty damned rock solid. Very nice car. I think Hi Tech should bring consistent quality to Shelby. As for their Mexican supplier (home office in SD I believe), try getting them to return a phone call!

Everyone is certainly entitled to their opinion and I respect that. But your response doesn't address my question of specific issues other CSX owners have encountered. If you are aware of specific issues please state them.

Just an FYI about the thread posted, it contains a bunch of pointless drivel that is just looking to throw muck at someone. The majority of the posts are from people that don't know nuttin about Shelby's and some know even less about their own breed.
