A company is not an entity and it shouldn't be personified. The people that run companies absolutely do have ethics - some good some poor.
I can confirm this is true. This event happened within the last two weeks which allowed current owners a chance to ride in the C8. A friend of mine at work purchased a ss1le and had them install an lt4 engine in it.
LOL.
Interesting comments considering the whole BBQ tick, bore scoring and Voodoo oil consumption issues. None of those has been fixed. The C8 is gonna be a great car. So is GT500. Sitting back hoping for one to fail won’t make the other any better.
I hope they both succeed we are in the last days of the true sports cars soon EV's will take over. Sure EVs can accelerate fast and can things better than ICE cars but it won't be the same. Nothing compares to the rumble of the gas engine and the feel of brute strength as you push the gas peddle down and lightem as you pull away.
You mean the completely normal tick that all the internet trolls hyped up ? Bore scoring ? On what? 2 first year motors out thousands of perfect ones ? That were covered under Fords warranty ? Oil consumption issues on a 8500rpm hand built performance engine ? Really tho ? Our comments are out of line ? Give me a break
I guess these guys got caught up in the internet troll hype, then...
I recently bought an 02 Z06. The garage I keep it in is a prefab with wooden floors and walls so basically a large speaker box. The first time I started the car in the garage cold I panicked when I heard this horrible ticking coming from under the hood. I felt sick and started calling all around the country to the C5 gurus. I now know that the LS6 has piston slap and it is normal it does go away after about 5 minutes and I am told it does not hurt anything. I believe it is also what the 350's are supposed to have not sure. In my talking to the C5 guys there really is not an issue with oil consumption or engine failure. There is another issue with bad valve springs that are fairly easy to replace. I will do that this winter to be sure, but a simple search will show that there have been a fair number of engine failures in the 350's and from what I can see Ford has taken care of them but to deny the issue seems silly. I guess I can live a 17 year old car with piston slap but it is ironic to tout the greatness of a high revving hand built performance engine. I would think these would be the very engines with the best performance and reliability. I believe the terminator engines were built similarly and I don't remember any issues with them in fact they are sought after today and still bring a premium. The mass produced coyote does not suffer the same issues as the hand built voo doo. I started this thread and it is amazing how when some one does not agree with a post it very quickly deteriorates to name calling and personal attacks. In contrast now that I have a vette again I have asked a few questions on the vette forums and read through threads never really see this there. I am and will always be a Mustang first guy but the vette world is definitely much more cohesive " all for one,one for all" kind of group. Even down to the Corvette wave that I was doing back in the 70's and continues today. The Mustang crowd seems way more divided and everyone trying to out do the other. Maybe it has to do with the age of the vette owners. Well now I am ready to be called a "retard" and a "dick bag". It's OK it makes me feel like I'm back in junior high again.
Troll, lol!! Joking of course.
