And then there's Virginia.No connection at all. It isn't like the former s550 platform chief engineer runs Ford Performance.
"Shelby" is a mere name that Ford chose to add on this car. This is Ford's baby aside from a contract for a royalty fee, 100%.I find it unlikely the Shelby program could exist at the level it delivered the GT350, or any vehicle, without a lot more than a nod from Ford. They may have a clear roadmap of their own, and numerous racing efforts that are separate, but are they just like a Shelby America?
I'm impressed that Ford provided the cooler fixes for the 15/16 tech cars. Lets not debate the cause, all parties share blame.
There is no business decision. The parts were and still are always available for 6 months They just put a part number together for the kit.No connection at all. It isn't like the former s550 platform chief engineer runs Ford Performance.
I like to tell myself it was some sort of engineering solution Ford Performance thought they owed customers for an enthusiast vehicle, but I'm sure the true motivations are something a little less interesting. I'm skeptical either of these parts kits were a smart business decision.
Hey [MENTION=28002]cking[/MENTION]. Not debating anything but I don't know what the fuck you mean by saying anything about blame. You got yourself a '17, right? What's your interest in 15/16 Techs?I'm impressed that Ford provided the cooler fixes for the 15/16 tech cars. Lets not debate the cause, all parties share blame.
Yes I got a 17, but I worked along everybody trying figure out if the diff cooler could be retrofitted. The workings of pump had everybody stumped. So I am happy Ford came through, I would have bet against it. Bye blame I just didn't want to rehash the law suite stuff. Yes I'm aware base and tech were not equipped. I was just trying to learn more about how all computer stuff works as a bored retired computer/network designer. So not trying to stir your pot.Hey [MENTION=28002]cking[/MENTION].

By the way, 15/16 Bases didn't have trans or diff coolers either.
This is a pot stirring, bs post.
