Really!
In the FCar world this is the SOP.Dont forget to check your oil levels BEFORE every drive!! Oh and let it fully warm up before you take it out
I do believe, though, that Ford wanted the GT350/R to go out with a unique engine that no other car would have. I don’t have any inside info on that, pure speculation on my part but it wouldn’t surprise me if that was at least part of their calculus.
Yes, 50/50 distribution, the answer to the 500/350 upgrade question is SS Sedan lol.Eight days in. Hopefully this settles the argument. It's 50/50.
Yep. Heard of them all. I’m not talking about option packages or names, I am talking about the motor.
Again, you don’t get to define upgrade for me, that’s as succinctly as I can state it. Your preferences and viewpoint inform your decision, nobody else’s. I think the GT350 exhaust tips are fine, but, I wouldn’t have done them that way. Maybe the Voodoo team didn’t want them to vibrate the diffuser off
.
100% the Voodoo wasn’t intended for mass production because the Coyote and all of its long-amortized tooling already exists. The Voodoo was a “let’s see what yall can do exercise”. Ford was never going to produce the Voodoo for 15-20 yrs.
My mistake, thought I read somewhere that the GS was also getting an FPC. Might have been one of the rumor articles before it was actually launched.
These were not option packages as much as they were unique high-performance "engines" that Ford developed for road racing, drag racing and customer use with a great deal of R&D being spent on them.
Says it all. You are still in major fanboy mode about your purchase.
Hahaha Fan Boy mode
. Just logical responses to each question.
Ah, a white ‘12. I passed up an identical 302 back in March 2012 when the ‘13 refresh was about to hit the streets. Iirc Msrp was $42,xxx and the dealer was offering it for $39,950 since they had it for a few months. Almost did it but then I found a new race red ‘12 GT/CS mt82 with hid lights that msrp at $38,400 that a dealer discounted to $30,400 with Ford rebate included.These were not option packages as much as they were unique high-performance "engines" that Ford developed for road racing, drag racing and customer use with a great deal of R&D being spent on them.
Suggest that you were not around when the Boss 302 and Boss 429 engines were launched back in the Fall of 1968 but in any event those engines were something to behold.
Then when Ford launched the Boss 351 for 1971 along with 11.7:1 compression it was by far the most unique and impressive small block V8 at that time especially when compared to GM and Mopar small blocks.
The same goes for the 2nd Gen 2012 Boss 302/LS cars with the regular production cars launching in February 2011 and with the pre-production Windsor built engines being hand built in July 2010 and owned a few of those pre-production units one of which was used as a NASCAR Pace Car.
A few of my car buddies chassis dynoed their cars Boss 302 cars with the results ending somewhat higher than the advertised 444 HP.
As is the case with the Boss 302, Boss 351 and Boss 429 engines as they will probably never be seen again and suggest that the exotic and high-strung 2015- 2020 5.2L FPC engine will fall into that same category.
