I donât need to know ANYTHING about the GT350 to observe the obvious public complaints (ironically in this forum) about the motor. Not sure why this is hard for you to comprehend. Iâm not hanging around this section for any reason other than to defend myself at this point. Youâre the latest guy...
Thatâs a tall task when youâre berated by those who feel the need to âdefendâ their car at the cost of ignoring their surroundings. I never said anything you canât read countless times in this forum. Again, you seem to take pleasure in instigating and drawing up more discussion.
Let them fight their own battles. You are ironically the one bringing the subject back to life. You here for insults? Thatâs real easy when youâre just typing away and know you wonât be held accountable for your words.
Who said I was an expert on GT350s? I donât need to be an expert to observe...
Dealers are horrible right now. I was talking with the owner of the Ford dealer I purchased my car from and he was saying that dealers are being phased out. He believes Ford will be similar to Tesla where you order direct for what you want and wait for production. Dealers will focus on service...
I offered my opinion on the original post where I stated that I believe the M1 was a better purchase than a used GT350 mostly due to reliability issues with the voodoo. You decided to chime in and offer nothing other than you think Iâm trying to justify my purchase. Thatâs true in context, but...
Like Iâve said before, if you wanna disregard the overwhelming amount of public issues related to the voodoo engine on the forums, YouTube, Facebook, etc⊠cool. You can live in your fantasy world.
I was in the market for a Shelby and I was overwhelmed with the amount of blown motors I came...
Fair enough. It appears that the voodoo is very problematic on this forum and YouTube. For comparison, I would think if the coyote shared a similar percentage of problems youâd see way more âblown coyoteâ threads than âblown voodooâ threads on here which is not the case. Just based off of the...
For sure. I agree, but would you say the voodoo issues fall under âtypical performance car issues?â I mean, if the M1 stays close to itâs tried and true nature with reliability then it should not be in the this same category that youâre referring to.
GT seems like a really good deal compared to the Mach1, don't you think? ;)
Base GT $40Kish
Base M1 $58Kish
For $18K I get:
3.73 diff, tremec transmission, throttle body, CA intake, HP bump, TQ bump, active exhaust, brembo, mufflers, badges, strut brace, engine cooler, transmission cooler...
Well, youâre somewhat fair in your passive aggressive response. Maybe, Iâm trying to justify my purchase (basically what youâre saying) with my original statement. If they were making the GT350 now theyâd be way more moneyâ probably close to $75K. In a fictitious world, would it have the same...
Yea, theyâre crazy around here in New England too bro. Even 2021âs have markups. I found a 21 brand new never test driven for $58K locally. It had exactly what I wanted too. I did want the HP originally, but in the end I was happy to save the cash.
There are a lot of differences between the GT PP1 and the M1. Not that youâre in disagreement with that. Just saying⊠The Tremec and engine mods were enough for me to buy one. PP1 specd out well will come in well over $50K. I just saw a PP1 for $59K today. Thatâs more than my base M1. đ
