Thanks for the replies!
Well I ordered a Mach 1 at MSRP from my local dealer. $500 refundable refund. They said it is 5 or 6 months out. Confirmed they do have an allocation.
What do you all think of the build? The handling package mostly for looks. Will take the cup 2's off and mount PS4...
Hello Folks!!
Back in 2016 I got into a GT350. It was an amazing car but needed 2 engine replacments. Ford bought it back in 2017.
The GT350 was replaced with a 2017 C7Zo6. It is about to roll 100,000 miles and is up for sale. Used car prices are nuts and I don't want to have to worry about...
This was my analysys when the car first started using oil. Ford replaced the engine a couple months later after the car was using more than 2 quarts every fillup.
The original engine and replacment engines had the same careful breakin procedure and they both used mass amounts of oil. Careful to vary RPM, some 75% throttle pulls to help seat rings.
Changed the oil about 200 miles. The oil had more glitter than you would believe on both engines. Never...
Having an engine replaced is really not a big deal. This is done all the time. There are a few things to consider. Talk to the service manager and make sure they take the engine out by the subframe, not out the top of the hood. This i how it went in the car and is the way it should come out...
I wouldn't even put an aftermarket air filter on a GT350. In the 9 months I had the car it went through 2 engines. Can't imagine how screwed I would have been if I had pulled the trigger on the E85 Lund tune which was the plan a month after I brought the car home. A power adder will only...
You would think it would smoke but they don't. My first engine was going through more than a quart every tank of fuel and I never saw smoke. The back of the car was covered in soot but no smoke. At my request they replaced the catalytic converters knowing they were being over worked.

I would be very happy with 18,000 miles on a set of tiers. It wouldn't be worth the loss of handling to have it aligned to get that last bit out of the tires unless you really want it. Just my opinion.
We have Wednesday night drags at our local track Sonoma Raceway. I'd be willing to meet up for a friendly drag race but I seriously doubt we're even in the same state.
