  1. Buying a 2018 ecoboost soon

    No one buys a P 911 for the sound? I would say the opposite is true, flat 6 P cars are pure music.
  2. Unsolicited Compliments

    It’s true I have been smitten by the current Mustang. I was so impressed by my ‘15 EB PP I sold that to my son and bought a ‘16 GT PP. Through good fortune, the sale of my beloved ‘04 Lighting, ‘82 GT, and ‘16 GT I bought my GT350. It really does not matter which, they all elicit positive...
  3. What problems does the GT350 REALLY have...

    The price paid for forged pistons, although I have not detected any piston rattle when cold. As an aside, those heavy and noisy when cold OEM TRW forged slugs in the old 5.0 circa ‘86-‘91 did not create undue wear in the cylinders. But that was a cast iron block with a short stroke, vs a long...
  4. Twin Turbo GT350 1143HP!!

    Inspirational That is an amazing looking and performing car! The power curve is beautifully progressive. Ford would be wise to use the FPC as the basis for the blown GT500.
  5. Comparing EB with 2012 GT

    EB>GT I had a ‘15 EB PP A6, loved the car so much I thought “mo is betta”; went ‘16 GT PP M6. Not a mistake, but not as impressive in terms of handling, fun to drive torque, and fuel economy. Since moved on to a ‘17 GT350 for the long term. Sold the the EB to my son and its been flawless. I...
  6. Strongly considering a gt350...

    I was in a similar dilemma. SC my existing '16 GT/PP or go for a new G350. I ended up going with a GT350 as the timing and deal worked out great. In retrospect, I prolly would have been very happy modifying the coyote. Yes the Shelby has the desirable suspension, brakes, trans, and interior...
  7. Trunk Lid Issues

    Really. Everything else is crap huh. I knew exactly what I was getting; a near competition car refined just enough for the road with supportive seats, and decent tunes. Great suspension/steering, stiff structural integrity, awesome brakes, excellent trans, and a FPC motor remain relevant to...
  8. Oil consumption got worse. Not sure what to do. Should I sell the car?

    By all means, with all due respect. I agree German cars get a bad rap for "reliability" it's bunk as far as I am concerned. Yes, the interior is very cheap compared to a BMW. However the GT350 suspension, brakes, transmission, differential, Motor and transmission will all survive abuse. Ask...
  9. Oil consumption got worse. Not sure what to do. Should I sell the car?

    Is a this your first with syn fill from the factory? Clean oil is good, but syn does not breakdown its molecular structure as quickly as conventional oil. The GT350 like many European auto makers now use syn from the get go, and recommend 10k or one year. It's not intuitive, I know. I had an...
  10. Oil consumption got worse. Not sure what to do. Should I sell the car?

    You have never owned an old car.
  11. Oil consumption got worse. Not sure what to do. Should I sell the car?

    Engine break in Has anyone considered that changing the oil as frequently as the OP documents has never allowed the rings to set properly? Ford fills this engine with a full syn oil. I am not an engineer, but I have rebuilt 4 SBF and never use syn oil on break in. Ford does not recommend...

    Everyone has their own opinion, but only choose to be an Asshole.

  14. Tire L E T T E R I N G

    I know I am not the first to do this, in fact I got the idea from a car on this forum. I also know it's not the dual opposing sets of letters, however I was down with doing one per tire once I saw other pics. Pay to play; if you want 2 sets per its $200+.
  15. GT350 H5486

    Well you break it in like you drive it, that is to say don't lug it, ever. Not my first rodeo, put together a few (3) short deck SBF motors and had a motor built for my Lightning. All good.
  16. GT350 H5486

  17. GT350 H5486

    I now have 1000 mi, driving normally and averaging 18.5 mpg. I did a biz trip yesterday that was cool enough to not run AC, cruise set at 77 MPH and 24.7 MPG. About 1.5 MPG less vs my previous GT PP 3.73 gears. The Gas Guzzler tax is a joke in so many ways, like why should the Feds get this...
  18. Car and Driver Lightning Lap Camaro ZL1 1LE DAMN FAST

    Same GM playbook from the last 25 years. Where's an off-road competitor to the Raptor, or tuner crowd grade RS, or even ST?

  20. CHECK YOUR OIL!!!!

    How about for such a large car it's ver manuverable, rides like a luxury car and feels badass?
