Default Warranty question

So as I am about to purchase a mustang GT and have a roush blower installed, I found out the entire car is only warrantied for 3yrs/36k, including the supercharger. I don't know how I feel about not having any type of warranty after 3 years. Any advice? Should I worry? I don't want to be getting screwed after 3yrs, although I plan to sell it between 2-3yrs. But who knows.. I really like the car and do want it pretty bad. I am receiving the papers tmr to sign and send back. I'm still on the fence. Any words of comfort? Or not? I'll take both. Lol

I would wait to install a blower for a while to sort out any defects from the factory and break it in first.

Issue with that option is the supercharger is being installed by a roush dealer before they ship it out. So I will have received the car already with the blower thrown on. The car was driven a few hundred miles before having the blower installed tho.

Most major issues will show up sooner rather than later, if that helps. Of course if you drive it like you stole it, stuff will break.

Any thing can break at any time. Don't worry about it. Roush puts a warranty on it for 3 years because they have done the research to determine reliability at those boost pressures. If you drive the crap out of it and don't service it, reliability will be an issue. Same is true for a non-supercharged engine. Don't worry about something you have no control over.
