Roush Asking For 03 Cobras

So I just got a letter from Roush Industries, on behalf of Ford Motor Company:

Dear xxxxx:

Your Mustang Cobra may be selected as part of Ford's on-going effort to increase the quality and performance of their vehicles. Ford Motor Company has asked Roush Industries to send this letter to owners of 2003 model vehicles in your area.

Ford is inviting your participation in a special engineering emissions test program. Vehicles chosen to be used in the program will be emissions tested for Ford engineers to evaluate. The purpose of this program is to evaluate how well the emission system is functioning. Your vehicle will be tested indoors on a dynamometer (treadmill-like device) and driven simulating normal driving conditions.

This program is completely voluntary. The normal program length is five to ten working days; however, occasionally it may extend longer. We are offering owner's whose vehicles are selected for testing, the following incentives:

• $100.00 cash.
• Free use of a Taurus vehicle while participating in the program. The vehicle will have a full tank of gas when delivered.
• The vehicle will be washed, vacuumed, and have a full tank of fuel when the vehicle is returned to you.
• Convenient exchange of vehicles at home, place of business, or at the test facility.

Your vehicle will be safeguarded and fully insured by Roush Industries. If you have any further questions, please feel free to call our staff at 1-800-748-0320.

Please fill out and mail the enclosed pre-stamped post card whether or not you agree to participate. If you want to participate, please correct any erroneous information on the postcard address label and include a phone number where you may be reached. We look forward to receiving your prompt response. Thank you for your time and interest in this program.

Sincerely,
Dan McConnaughey Roush Industries

An accompanying letter from Ford advises that "Repairs or adjustments found through normal diagnostics may be performed on your vehicle at no cost to you."



Kinda strange...

Hey I'm looking for new 2005 Roush's as well. I'd like to do some testing in them. In exchange you'll have full use of my 94 Ranger. It will come with a full tank of gas and I will take the liberty to vacuum it too. Free convenient home delivery. I however will probably never return your vehicle, just an fyi... :-)

BAHAHAHAHAHA! You almost made me spill my beer! I am busting my guts here!!

I do find it ironic that they want to exchange your mustang for a Taurus. I mean they could at least give you a V6 stang.

Wow, that's a ridiculous offer. Rent my Cobra for 10 days for $100, put all the miles you want on it but let me sport a Taurus. Sounds like a great deal...for anyone except the car owner. Oh yeah, and they'll "repair and adjust" it for you too

More like beat the piss out of it on the dyno for 10 days! I wonder how many of the "scientists" will be seen testing them in "acceleration competitions?"

[Mustanger]

I'd do it in exchange for a Ford GT for 10 days! Or a Shelby or new Stage3 Roush!!! But not for a measly 100bucks! No way. No benefit to the owner whatsoever.

I would probably do it if I lived in Michigan. And hey, maybe they would slap a Roush tune on there
