So you're saying there's a chance....

Yawwwnn. Another one of these threads. You should be more concerned with the rocks these cars throw from the sticky tires.

I installed the zl1 set.

Did you install any splash guards in the rear, or were you happy with the ones that came on it?

I was one of the ones that strapped a blower to it and sent it...…. Mine is still going strong on 100% stock internals. 15000 supercharged miles later and it is still making over 800hp. I think a lot of the issues with these cars come from poor ownership and driving habit's (discount fuel, improper warmup, improper engine/oil temps, and flat out abuse possibly all mixed together at once)

As said earlier, the internet glorifies these issues and makes it seem like every owner experiences it. This is a strong platform, enjoy it.

Are you on stock oil pump gears as well?

Yes.

My rear is wrapped with Xpel to, but I did order a set from American Muscle that were suppose to be for the 350. They ended up being very similar to the oem’s. I dedided to stay with the oem’s.

Just over 40,000 miles on mine including 6 track days. I burn some oil, about a 1 quart every 1500 miles I believe. I change the oils when the car tells me. Car runs great IMO.

I am on my third windshield, though, due to cracks from rocks.

I track my car extensively, change the oil and replace tires as needed.59 years of driving and owning without a motor loss. 4 decades of racing and teaching and love this car over a lot of great cars.

That was a good read, very interesting.

I like to read positive post like this a lot more than negative once. Hope all of us will be saying about GT350 same thing in a long run. Thanks for sharing!

Something to think about

I struggled with this myself, but came to the conclusion that the risk is worth the reward. And the risk is low.
