Wouldn't have helped with the hose that popped off directly from the water pump, where there is no clamp! Engine heats up, hose pops off, engine cools off, hose can fit tightly in. Sorry, but that kind of defect has no place in a brand new high performance car!

It's not the drivers. These are highly experienced people who are tracking all the time and some own multiple cars with zero issues; There are a few mustang shops and dealers that service these drivers/cars and yes, there is a widely acknowledged problem. I took care of the 350 just as much as...

Agree, zero warranty denials which is fantastic. Oil consumption doesn't appear to be the only issue (both my engines had sufficient oil when went bad and zero consumption issues). The S65 has had a less than 1% failure rate over 10 years since first production. The GT350 I believe is much...

Unfortunately, until the 2019, the GT350R/350 experienced so many blown engines, especially among those who tracked (I experienced two). My E90 M3 just passed 100k miles, and the "ticking time bomb" rod bearings which I had replaced at 90k miles..the originals looked pristine. The high-revving...

I for one am not surprised by this outcome. Had an R and now have a GT3 RS. The 350/R is operating on a different level vs its direct competition and I think is more in the realm of GT3/RS. Granted, the reliability of the R wasn't there for me, but supposedly the problems are now corrected...

The tram lining in the 16-19Rs with the PSC2 is pretty significant. It's more of a function on the quality of roads; high quality - zero tramlining, poor quality esp in urban areas - a lot of tramlining. The alignment plays a small role, but various alignment settings never materially changed...

Well there you go..."debate" over (not sure there should have been one to begin with ;)). Only makes sense that using the GT500 knuckle and steering parts only for the 2020R and not the 350 means that it will be an improvement, as confirmed by BillyJ. Anyone who has driven an R knows that the...

I have gone through a successful buyback process after two engine failures. 1) Ford will follow the state laws to the letter and will be very honest whether your car meets the criteria or not; for CA, if the car was in the garage for more than 30 days it also qualified as a lemon in addition...

In the Fastest Laps database for the Supra. While having same day testing is preferable, when have multiple situations where a car ranks behind another, it's fairly conclusive. Looking at each track you can see the M2 and/or M4 a couple secs faster. Also makes sense considering power/weight...

Exactly. On the tracks tested so far by pros in stock format (there are about 8 of them), the Supra is a couple seconds behind the M2 and M4.

Comparing the straight line numbers between the Supra and the GT350 with its MT is pretty much irrelevant. The 350's power delivery (rapid rise in power above 4000+ rpm) and gearing is made to perform on a race track where the huge RPM band can let you hang in one gear for a long time with a...

Don't know why the actual weight stats are really any surprise. Anyone who knows how much these components weigh on other platforms can easily get to the sum of the parts (such as several of us did on the thread of this "leak" to arrive at a very plausible 400-500 lbs weight gain)...

Wonder how much weight the new block is adding to the front of the car and whether the minor suspension changes are there to offset the heavier feeling nose. That said, let's face it, the car from the was mis-priced from the get go and was an incredible value. Recouping some of the $5k ADM...

Had the JLT on the driver's side and never caught anything even after some pretty hard track days, so just took it off.

Work very closely with the Ford rep and see if they can assign you a Regional rep, who oversees the dealers in your region. The dealers are very likely to respond to this rep. Just say that you have significant concerns about the engine and safety of the car and your dealer does not seem to be...

2nd engine issue here and replacement likely (my last engine was replaced in late 17). Took car in for throttle hesitation, couldn't hold cruise control, and mis-fire code. Dealer did compression test and two cylinder rings are shot. First engine issue I thought was OPG, but now makes me...

The GT500 is clearly an answer to the ZL1 and 1LE, and in this regard it will probably succeed and narrowly surpass it in terms of performance. Not a big fan of the over-wrought front end and the GT4 spoiler looks too low for what it is, but if the goal was to have a worthy FI contender with...

If DCT only, explains why the "leaked" weight seemed to high to begin with. We will see.

Only Picks up. Thought something was wrong with it. Dumb design!

As mentioned, there are a lot of people who came from the BMW and Porsche world who wanted a cost-effective, factory-supported in HDPE (via warranty), high performance alternative particularly in a high-revving normally aspirated platform. For me it was the combination of relatively low cost...
