I bought a '17 Fusion and there is zero odor in the car versus my '17 GT350 which smells seriously different and strong every time I'm lucky enough to open the door. Not a complaint as much a question; does this car smell different than any other hi-po Ford option? It's ok but the inside of...
Randy said he was driving with a smile on his face and one hand, versus a sweaty brow with the 'vette. My guess is, Randy doesn't want a car to drive itself as much as the automatic ZL1 does, and prefers the manual option, but in the end the Shelby made him giggle like a school girl and that's...
I went to a Ford dealer 1,000 miles ago and they tightened the gap and it hasn't sagged since. I dropped it off and picked it up. Zero cost so don't assume a dealer can't fix the issue, it depends on who you get and how bad the service manager wants to make you happy. PS - they also painted...
They will go with the lowest quote that meets your coverage. The lowest quote is not necessarily the quote that provides the worst job for the repair. What you want is the most $$$ and you have therefore set the low quote standard. You will not convince them because the adjuster's job is to...
There's an element here I didn't understand until a moment ago.
There isn't a man who doesn't get more satisfaction and pleasure from driving there than from being driven there. It's in our nature.
A car is an instrument of our being, our connection to being a man. Power, dominance, a sense...
The question on everyone's mind: will the lack of oil separators on both cars cause neither car to live up to their full potential! <sarcasm> Will Chevy's secret hidden oil separator project give the ZL1 the edge it needs?? <more sarcasm>
Oil catch cans have to be the biggest scam on the GT350 aftermarket. Don't fear detonation or contamination. Apply some logic:
The engine makes plenty of power. Although it looks like substantial mass in the can, divide the mass by say, 100 x 10^6 strokes over 3,000 miles at 4,000 rpm (a...
Ford could start by not requiring dealers to pay $1,000 to be in the Shelby program. My dealer told me that he makes more on his trucks than he did on my GT350.
My choice came down to color depth. I like a color that looks way different in the morning light, evening light, at night, and different depending on the angle of the body. I bought ruby red sight unseen (except GT 5.0 pics). No stripes, the black roof looks like glass. The white, orange and...
Some of you people have clearly never been poor. So it goes like this: you have <$100 in checking, nothing in savings, you barely can afford the insurance, gas and registration. You hit a Shelby in the parking lot. You know your rates will go up. Rich bastard has insurance. You drive away...
I wonder if a cheap car cover would help with this. Something you wouldn't care about losing.
I once saw a 'vette owner park at a hotel and pull a large traffic cone out of his trunk and put it next to the car door. Seemed to work pretty well for a few days.
The risk of driving without oil separators is pure hype, it's a feel-good part that does little except generate income for some aftermarket part manufacturers. Nanograms of residue accumulation and picograms or less of hydrocarbon per cycle is doing a whole lot of nothing to engine performance...
This is called "I have a garage and access to tools and a lift and I've played with my cars" disease. The same people live on Facebook too, acting like everyone else is an idiot since they have the resources. They forget that anyone can walk off the street and buy a GT350 and that person is...
That is correct. Although when I cancelled my dealership's brokered contract the finance guys tried to tell me that I would have trouble. I just smiled knowing they were full of it. It's a Ford contract not a dealer contract. The dealer broker's the deal for as much or as little as they are...
I was considering Flood until I found this dealership: http://andersonandkoch-ford-warranty.com/
Highly recommended, good pricing and they treated me well. I cancelled the contract at my dealer, got a full refund, and purchased online. Saved $245.
NOTE: Flood doesn't specifically call out...
This is sold internationally isn't it? The autobahn is just one example of a street with no limit. A track would have no limit other than the capability of the vehicle. If every car has limp mode, are there other examples of track-ready cars hitting limp mode on the street and track?
The fact that limp mode exists at all is an admission of anticipated system failure. The mode of system failure, to dangerously limit a vehicle's speed, presents a built-in life safety risk from being rear-ended, either on the track or on the street. I am surprised the NHTSA hasn't weighed in...
Texas republican introduces legislation to try to squash class action lawsuits such as this one filed for this class of Shelby owners:
