My speed was built 12/21/06 and is still in Japan. How long did it take you to get yours? I saw told that it will be here in late Feb and this is good for me so I can use my tax money. I have a good dealer that has called every time it is updated on there tracking. The mod will be new tires and tint 5% on the rear 20% on the front. I live in a small town so the cops don't pick over the tint.
On-board vessel BRAVERY ACE: 12/03/2006 (in Japan)
Arrived Port Jersey, NJ: 01/06/2007
Released from port: 01/08/2007
Picked up by truck: 01/10/2007
It's about a month transit to the East Coast, but also depends on which port your car is delivered. I remember leofaye saying there was a stop in Jacksonville, so it maybe be a little shorter for you.
Good luck, I know wait is killing you. Mine should be here sometime today-Saturday.

I would like to take credit, but leofaye did all the dirty work. Wish I could help.
Take a look at the "EAST COAST: TO ALL WAITING YOUR MS3 (JANUARY-FEBRUARY)" posting below. leofaye gave some great information. Hopefully that will give you some insight.
I don't know if it's right or wrong, but my rep was saying early-February arrival.
If he's right, yours ought to arrive similar/earlier than that, because mine had 12/26 build date.
Ours was built on the 28th, planned to depart Japan on the 16th according the awesome Suzanne. She says 6 weeks is a good working number once it gets on the boat, although from what I can tell, there is a month of that spent on the boat. Actually, just looking at the prev posts, that lines up pretty well.
Yours and ours will most likely be on the same ship...

Just wondering if anyone knows where the ship docks for us southern folk. Houston?

I believe you folks get your cars railed from either LA or JAX.
It takes a lot of time to sail that big-ass sea they call GULF OF MEXICO.
