Pretty much what I thought.
Looks like the layout needs some love from Roush. Ergonomics matter.
I think this stuff was also pointed out earlier this year.
Yup, I forgot about that.
Here's a picture from when it was at Detroit taken by EKH

Better angle so you can see it does have clearance; it looks like it actually sits just a tick higher than the brake pedal (higher as a bit further from the firewall) and it still had the rubber on the pedal.

I wonder if the loss of the pedal rubber was a souvenir hound at one of the shows. (aka kids)

Awesome pics, AJ!! Got me a new wallpaper!
One thing I found curious. I'm glad they went with a timing chain rather than a belt, but why would it be exposed? Seems like a good way to get dirt into the engine. Then again, there may be a clear polycarbonate lens over the cover if my eyes aren't playing tricks on me.

You are correct. I'm pretty sure they said this motor was the one we all saw being tested on the stand last year.
