The OPG Shuffle I had also heard what you did re warranty issues if the OPG is replaced with a Ford Performance billet OPG. At first, I had your reaction, but now I believe I understand why they say "no." If they agreed to do this replacement, it could be interpreted s Ford's indirect...

Hmmm First time I have read that a Ford employee said that the OPG "was a problem." Oh, and I am adding you to the list as #19, so we are now up to a 6.3% failure rate among forum members...

I dunno, what did happen here? We only see the consequences, not the cause. Personally, I am beginning to believe that the problem is in the sub-contracted for components and/or assembly process. How influential were the green eyeshade folks? Is the engine we paid for the same as what Ford...

Damn Totally, sucks and sorry to hear what happened. Sounds like you took all of the appropriate precautions. Hope Ford steps up to the plate for you. I hope that we don't start seeing a lot more of these stories now that folks are beginning to use their cars a lot more during the warmer...

FWIW, given I am taking a brief respite between assignments and it is a dreary rainy day here, I gathered a smidgen of anecdotal info to satisfy my own curiosity. Of course, you already know that "real data on the VooDoo motor vs comparative failures on similar high output motors" does not...

Statistics Actually, I should have used the phrase "statistically significant." It takes several steps to ascertain what is significant statistically - which of course Ford already has done and is withholding from its customers. Right now, their bean counters have probably, for at least...

Da Plan I greatly respect your opinions, and your suggestion is an alternative. On principle, it kinda bothers me that I need to buy additional expensive insurance to cover for any manufacturer's lack of frankness with its customer's over potential flaws in their expensive products. In...

The Beat Goes On Hmmm, nice - not so nice list. I previously commented on the C6 LS7 crap, and yes, the C7 Z06 has major cooling issues (at least until '18). Now who is gonna try to defend such an obvious engineering flaw that any talented engineering student could not work through...

My Take - First Time Ford Owner Unlike many on this forum, I am a first time Ford owner. I was excited to see the return of the GT350 as it brought back many fond childhood memories related to one of the originals owned by a neighbor. I was excited to see that an American car...

I was the person who suggested the 2 car test. Your understanding and acceptance of that suggestion is a good first step. However, if you are serious about proceeding, I recommend that In addition to providing the two beta testers with free batteries, you consider both trying to locate owners...

Thank you for continuing our brotherhood. God speed...

Research Thanks for posting. Sounds like it would be prudent for you to do some follow-up research based on posts 26 and 27. I realize you are A small business but perhaps you can get at least two “donor” GT350s To do your R & D on. Unfortunately, some of us in the past have been...

Nope, bought a lightly used ‘69 Vette bass engine 4 speed ragtop. Couldn’t afford insurance for the LT-1 or big blocks, so modded the hell out of the car. Bought it for $4,400 bucks!

In the midst of continued angst re Voodoo failures and questionable lithium battery life, a reminder that today is Memorial Day. More than just another holiday weekend to sell cars... I called some of my Viet Nam buddies today and also want to thank those of you who served in more recent...

Since my car is more of a driver, was ready to pull the trigger on a RS 30. Looks like pulling the trigger on this one might more likely result in one less usable foot. So for now, this mod goes back into the not ready for hard earned cash bin. “You can always tell who the pioneers...

Well, no doubt some failures have been caused by failure to heed directions to very frequently check oil levels and or running the engine hard before warming up the oil. That said, I am feeling a little of the deja vue all over again syndrome. My first Ford, but not my first rodeo. Look at...

Same Here Ditto, FWIW! Why is the alleged Ford cost of replacement 34k? Seems pretty outlandish. If they tested the snot out of these motors before releasing to production, this would seem to be a production/supplier problem. Same thing was suspected with the old LS7. If this crap keeps...

Worth Doing Does anyone here have a realistic estimate of the percentage of Shelby owners that are members here? Say, 5 or 10 percent of total units sold? If a reasonable and conservative percentage estimate could be derived, Putting up a poll could be of some value. My .02. BTW, I also...

My condolences to you and your family. He was fortunate (as are we all) that we have had the time and opportunity to enjoy our hobby. May you be consoled by many fond memories of your loved one.

Where’s Bob (Jerry)? Actually, I think I live fairly close, in Gainesville, Fl. I think you are near Daytona? Perhaps, sometime this summer I will bring my car down to your dealership to get an oil change and I can see your R collection. I really thought hard about an R, but given the...
