Getting mine lemoned in Texas. 3 months in the dealership shop since Nov. 2017. Went in today to be play reasonable and give them the option and of making me happy. Actually wasn't even considering lemoning it. Then they said they'd take my lemon off me and I'd give them $13,000 for a brand...
Making the crank work requires a multiple set of components. Until I see a generation of confirmed long term tested flat planes, or at least an explanation as to what the fuck up was, I wouldn't consider a crate flat plane. Now building one from bottom up is a bit more fascinating, but if Ford...
If this engine blows, not under warranty, and I plan on making the platform work, then I will replace with the 5.2 Aluminator in a more tried and true cross-plane crank variant.
You know what I would love? One of these rims threads with a transparent listing of rims available in GT350 specific sizes, ideally modeled on only a GT350, with weight of wheels...Not asking for much.
Its been sold-out for a bit. Best chance at this point is getting on stand-by. I got the call, and you have to jump at the date that opens up for you. Until more dates are added, that is the way it is.
If you are one of those "buy all the swag and get tattoos of your vehicle" types, or will never really track seriously, then the Ford Performance track attack is a good deal....All others, don't waste your time.
Spent countless hours in the canyons above Hollywood, Bev Hills, and Malibu hunting big game (performance cars) to smack down. I started off in a WRX, then got the Evo MR...As immature as some may think it, it was fun as shit when somebody had a set of balls...and few did.
Not even counting...
My unscientific, but high level analyst perspective...coupled with common-sense...The failure rate is an embarrassment to Ford. The only time there was an active "blown engine" thread on the Evo forum was only due to outrageous boosting...Here there are many, stock engines, low miles...This...
Never owned a Ford before. I don't discriminate brands, however, the GT350 has certainly soured the brand in my opinion. It is a manufacturing line they should rightly be ashamed of.
Too bad uninformed buyers of the GT350 can't be pre-equipped with the data. I'd love a would-be buyer to walk in and make a dealership assure him that the engine has been improved from the run of engines that blow up all the time...."Sir, can you assure me this engine has improvements that will...
I got my car in November. I'd say it has nearly been back at the dealer more time than I have actually driven it. The loaner is the very least they should be doing. I'm currently working the GM of the dealership I bought from to do something to make it right, because it isn't. They made a bunch...
