Me. Ford bought back my GT350 due to engine failure. I was waiting on the GT500. No manual. I am buying a ZL1 1LE as a stand in until they put a manual in the GT500.... if they do.

One trick pony cars ....

I just sold mine back to Ford because it had catastrophic engine failure. Too bad because I have had a lot of cars from BMWs to Porsches of every kind and I really, really loved my GT350. SO much that I am considering a GT350R but am going to wait to see how the new GT500 shakes out, drive the...

Yes, it is. It’s a really amazing handling car though. I’m nearly certain I could hustle around the track right on the heels of my previous GT500 with little effort. I’m talking about the feel of the transmission only. PDK is the same transmission they put in the 911. I can’t get into it in the...

No sale here. We have a Macan GTS with a PDK transmission which is one of the greatest automatic-manual transmissions out there but, I rarely put it in Manual mode. It's not tactile or engaging enough and dare I say ... a little boring.

Update on my buyback. Ford sent an offer of a full refund plus taxes and fees minus $3500-ish for mileage which was 7k miles. I accepted it and they paying off the remaining loan and sending a check for the difference to my dealer for me to pick up. The whole process was relatively easy it just...

From what I understood they refund the original sticker price with a deduction for mileage and do not reimburse state specific taxes or fees. Also from what I understand they do not take into consideration any modifications to the car like stone gaurd but you are welcome to remove any and...

I just got on the Ford web site and contacted them directly. I may have had some preferred customer status because I have bought 2 Raptors a GT500 and a GT350 in the last five years ... IDK. I didn't call freaking out I just said hey this is what is up and they started a case for me. They called...

Update on my buy back process. So far I have to say it has been pretty easy. I’ve just been nice and got all the documents my case handler asked for at Ford in a timely manner and they are getting me my buy back offer next week. I had a choice for a replacemnent car or buy back. While I almost...

I have the same questions. That I will find out next week.

I figured it would be a process. What next? Good question. If I look at the list without the threat of another failing engine as a possibility I would pick the GT350R. Waiting for the specs on the GT500. ZL1-1LE looks entertaining but I have never had a GM car I liked. I'm going to hang a bit...

Well, I got a call back from Ford today and they agreed to buy back my car. Working out the details next week. That was relatively easy ... so far. I am really bummed about the whole thing. I really loved the car. There are faster cars and more sophisticated cars but nothing out there with as...

Wellllll ... one month later at the dealer and it is just now getting torn down. Got off the phone today with the rather unfriendly Ford customer service. I was perfectly cordial. I asked her what kind of compensation should I expect having a brand new car with a blown motor that I haven’t been...

Yeah, I was surprised too. Even though my dealer has a Master Tech they still didn't want to tear the engine down because and I quote "we are mechanics not engine builders" which didn't give me any warm fuzzy feelings. Ford made them tear it down though. It's still not set in stone that they...

Yeah...that is what the mechanic told me, I am not a mechanic so I just was like, oh of course ... a cam cap ... They symptoms were my motor hesitating once or twice on start up but seeming to run great until I went to start it and it shuddered for 4 seconds like it had frozen up then started...

Update on my GT350. One month later. Mechanic was told by Ford to tear down the motor. They found the culprit was a cam cap. Mechanic waiting for Ford to agree to send a new long block. Oy .... I'm a Ford man but ... the Camaro ZL1 is looking better every day. Paying for a car I am not driving...

Check the oil for glitter.

Not sure exactly but believe it is an early 2017.

Add my car to the list. 7k miles. No sign of issues or warning lights. In fact I was remarking the day before how great this car was feeling. I started it up and the whole car shuddered like the engine was seizing then ran fine. I got it home and started it again and heard metal on metal...

A little upside down Nissan GTR-ish grill going on there. ...
