Well just to clarify; because I wouldn't want anyone "firestarter" questioning my integrity. I am currently in Qatar but my family and my GT350 are in Germany. I car was also delivered 2 months after I left. So I haven't even gotten to drive it.

I said in your scenario you deserve a buy back. When did I question anyone integrity? not cool

When you said "if"

When you said "if"

I said "if" Ford sells the car in Germany. If you shipped the car from the states you unfortunately you are in a weird spot. But you haven't even gotten the car maybe it wont over heat and its a moot issue.

That being said you still might be able to get ford to do something for you.

I wish you had that in writing.


I drove my 2003 3-Series from Ramstien to Praug at over 120 mph the entire time I was in Germany around 3 to 4 hours. Only stopping for gas and water closet. I fear that the GT350 would be able to do it.

It wont do it, not in anything close to hot ambient temperatures.

When you ordered the car and did not pick the track pack you made a bunch of assumptions which turned out to be false.

As I said you if you are in Germany the use case is different. If ford sells the GT350 in germany versus them being exported you definitely have a case, Id look to have ford by my(your) car back.

That being said If I planned on being on the autobahn id of got a car with coolers.

Pretty clear to me what you said

You know germany isnt as warm as the US most of the time. Cars in europe in the past didnt even have AC by default

Yup read the sentence right after the one you bolded. Whats so hard to understand.

So 2003 non performance Germany engineering beats 2015 Ford performance engineering? I should had know before I bought it.

your so wrong it inst even funny, I have driven literally 30 plus cars of all trims on the autobahn for distance, at high speeds, both German and American spec. My GT350 is the only car that would have an issue with temps. Airflow, and limited mass in the transmission coupled with high performance means it is a glass cannon. It is not going to do any bursts of maximum performance, nor will it tolerate extended levels of performance over time.

I like how when the facts dont meet the narrative track pack lackeys resort to speed limits, get a clue. I certainly hope your use cases as you put them are always at the lowest denominator. This car should never have shipped as is period.

The biggest mistake people made was extending faith in Ford early on that they had the engineering chops and business sense to properly outfit and ship these vehicles. They did not. This and the fact they are moving as slow as molasses for the effected buyers is just makes the topic more of a sore point.

Every car in Germany will have to go on the autobahn so they are designed and tested with that in mind. In the old school Mercedes the steering had a dead-spot that helped when you where doing 100+

Ford Performance,

Ford is proud to announce we can now go toe to toe with the best Germany has to offer, for approximately 6-8 minutes, or at posted speed limits*.

*Not including the autobahn.
