Man, I'm feeling kind of left out. In nearly 6 years of ownership and 21K miles, I've never had anyone want to race me. (Not that I would). I did have one guy in a big Boise City utility truck very obviously dive across two traffic lanes to get behind me in a turn lane. After getting around...

The TR-3160 transmission on my '19 GT350 was smooth as butter till at about 15K miles when 5th gear started grinding when engaged. 5th gear synchro was failing. See post. Dealership replaced 5th and 6th synchro's, gears and related parts under warranty. Been working fine since then.

I have need to travel between Boise and Seattle frequently. If I have a few extra minutes, I like to drive the Yakima River Canyon Road (aka Washington 821) between Yakima and Ellensburg. A touch slower, but much more entertaining than the parallel I-82.

I agree...

I bought the Flood Ford "8-year" (effectively 5-year) ESP Bumper-to-Bumper zero-deductible coverage when my '19 GT350 3-year factory bumper-to-bumper warranty expired. I don't normally buy warranties, but staring down the barrel at a $30K+ bill for an engine replacement on a car that I track...

4.9 magnitude, 50 miles north of Boise this morning...

At our SCCA Snake River Region, we have a guy who Autocrosses quite seriously. He builds his daily drivers up a bit to be competitive and generally finishes near the top of his Class. When I first met him, he was running a lightly-modified 5th-Gen Mustang V8. One year (2018? IIRC), he switched...

I change the oil after each track day outing, but I still take it to the dealership for it's scheduled oil-change intervals. It's an investment to maintain service documentation for my extended warranty. Besides, i usually have other service for them to perform when I bring it in.

My '19 GT350 has 21K miles including two 4000+ mile road trips and 1271 track miles. I just dipped into my extended warranty this year. The coverage already has a good start on paying for itself.

I lost the 5th gear synchro in my '19 GT350 in spring of '22 during a long road trip. The only symptom was that I couldn't shift into 5th gear without a little "grinding". We continued the drive home (~1000 miles) avoiding 5th gear, where we got it into the dealer. My Ford dealer has a...

In the 1980’s, A&W introduced the 1/3 lb burger to compete with McDonalds quarter pounder. It was a failure because most consumers thought that 1/4 lb was bigger than 1/3 lb. This is why I don’t argue with people online.

I sign a waiver that warns me of the possibility of death every time I buy a ski lift ticket or rent a wood chipper. :wink:

I'd pick the first one. Easier to clean off the brake residue after a track day.

A good woman is truly a blessing. I was fortunate as well. Although, I tell folks that, "Of course my wife is smarter than me ... look who each of us married."
