So, point remains. No sports car should overheat from driving 3.5 minutes, and no sports car should be evaluated based on US conditions (55-75mph). Low standards.

I'd to realize that the GT350 produces a lot of heat no matter how you drive and I'd expect Ford to engineer the car to Handel the heat and I don't expect ford to remove coolers just to hit a price point that only accounts for a limited number produced.

As stated if you over heat on the street I feel for you and it should be fixed (I dont consider the autobahn the street).

Ford offered coolers people did not get them. If they had included them and made the base price of the car 60k people would of complained.

If they let tranny get hot and disabled limp mode (a feature most cars done even have) and the Trannys started failing and Tech where tracked heavily people would of complained

I know a few Tech owners ordered before the facts where known.

A mustang is a mustang the car has always been a car of compromises to hit a price point.

It's not about coolers and it's not about street or track. It's about a sports car's minimum performance capabilities, which with the tech are lower than they should be.

No, with coolers and no magride the base would had been about $54k or less right were everyone was guessing. With magride and coolers it's $56k and only with magride/coolers/and tech does it reach $60k. But all those packages would had coolers because the car NEEDS COOLERS!!!

No other mustang goes into limp under such relatively undemanding conditions.

I have not bought a new ford since 2002 until now. It is sad to see Ford has not resolved any of the corporate issues that caused me to buy all GM since then. Ford refused to honor the warranty on my sons new 2002 SVT Focus and all attempts to go through Ford were useless. We now have 3 families that buy cars other than Fords.

Tech pkg can't keep up with the basic Mustang. Again, fact.

In all honesty, your opinion on this doesn't matter. You choose the track package which was fine for you.

Base/Tech owners were sold a car that is falling short of the expectations that Ford sold us. We paid between $50k and $57k for a broken performance car.

Your opinion doesn't matter. Your car works. You got what you were promised. We did not. A lot of people here feel this way

had ford disclosed the limp mode issues before I was locked into a purchase, my choices on packages of not cars would had been different.

But ford didn't and your opinion still doesn't matter. You keep coming with your "opinion" just to troll us, but your opinion doesn't matter because we are the ones that ford wronged

Please let the people that own tech cars discuss the issues with out your 2 cents. You don't own a tech car. You were clever enough not to buy one or didn't have a choice. It's not that important. But people have spent good money and have concerns. You really don't add anything to the solution. Again why does this interest you ?????

You even say your not a mustang guy

Dunno tired of people crying when MOST of them should of known better and in the process IMHO WAY over blowing the limp mode issues on the tech pack to the point its pretty common knowledge with everyone I talk to.

Im a car guy. I like this car. At 50K the GT350 is a hell of a bargain.
