I get a burning oil smell occasionally from my 17 GT. Doesn't seem to matter on the outside temperature or how I am driving the car. I work at a Ford dealership and there is a TSB at least for the 15-17 for a burning oil smell and its about a small leak coming from the valve cover. Apparently...

I am a parts counterperson for a Ford dealer and have been noticing a lot of parts being backordered and the reason given for most of them is supplier closed due to COVID-19, so I am sure there is a real parts shortage at the assembly plants as well. Thought I heard something a week or so ago...

Agreed love that color as well. Matter of fact we just got an 18 GT in today in crimson with the performance package. Very sharp car!

Will be there, doesn't hurt that I only live a couple miles from the track either!
