Rape. Expect rape.

Obviously this will require a bit more work than installing the ZL1 bits, and heavier. Heard good things about the FP hooks though.

Tow hooks...Trust me on this...Should have been OEM for a track car.

Got loaner covered by Ford warranty. One would be a fool, or a very rich one, to not get the Extended Warranty. I will request that be extended further, and perhaps throw in a maintenance package. My incident cost me 2 full days at the track and a tow service that dented/destroyed my hood. Did I...

Ford pretty much told me it was all up to the dealership (which is bullshit) if they wanted to make you whole. I have made my complaint to both Ford and the GM of the dealership. Still awaiting GM's reply.

Link the article to the engine failures...It's a legitimate story, yet no story.

So who is going to contact the big sports car magazines and invite them to this forum?

If the engines were known to fail less in orange, I'd get one.

You can tell by the Factory Five in the video title.

If I end up keeping the GT350, and the engine pops again, it will be replaced with an Aluminator and then force fed. [ame]

More power out-the-box. https://performanceparts.ford.com/part/M-6007-A52XS

You can blame their third world socialist governments for that. Free market capitalism isn't the culprit. Regulated socialism is, and always is, and always was.

Federal/State policies and regulations are 100% behind businesses manufacturing abroad. I have a buddy who worked China manufacturing for years, and all his fellow American entrepreneurs in China are unanimous...remove crushing taxation/regulation, they want to be manufacturing here.

The only unique indicator that I captured was adequate temperature, but zero oil pressure, right when I started hearing the clanking...No block penetration or oil loss.

Earlier than 2300 miles? After an oil change at 1000?...lol...I'd logically assume I had a bit more time than that.

The thrown rod could be anywhere along the failure trajectory, no?

My engine popped at ~50% WOT conditions on track (first track day at 2300 miles). Sessions are <= 25 minutes...Proper break-in. No drag style launching...The engine should easily accomplish that effort.

There has not been any confirmation or talk of engine improvements to my knowledge. Ya, you'll want to get that Extended coverage. It had jacked up by x3, two months before I had bought my GT350 in November 2017.

Can I get a price for GT350 size in black?

That is good to know. I wonder if we can track engine iteration based on serial number. And I wonder how many versions of improvements will occur. I suspect we will never know.
