LOL, with some acid thrown in for good measure ;)
The more critical thing to me would be getting dirt between the film and paint. You're a better man than me for trying that outside.
I think they are right about the 12 month MY17 run. They started MY17 production in June of 2016. My GT350 was serial number 00077 and it was built on July 7th.
The Rs are pretty easy to figure out. They made 37 in 2015, 500 in 2016 and 1000 in 2017. 1537 R's in total built.
The numbers for...
Looks like Ford is not alone with oil cooler line issues. This is about to come out for the 17 Hellcats....
FCA Canada has announced a safety recall on certain 2017 (LD) Dodge Charger and 2017 (LA) Dodge Challenger vehicles equipped with a 6.2L Supercharged engine (Sales Code ESD).
Some of the...
If you like the car and want it, go for it.
Could you find one at MSRP? Maybe, but it's not worth the effort in my mind to spent hours searching to save 2K.
I'm not sure where you have been but I have said a lot of wonderful things about the GT350. I'm very open minded. I've had 5 Mustangs over my life and the GT350 was by far the best. That does not mean I like every single thing about the GT350. That would make me a fanboy.
The Hellcat has...
LOL! Yes, that has not been a top priority for me but I knew when I took it that I would get those comments. Should have known it would be you, Tom :cheers:
I removed that before you quoted me as I don't want to make this personal. My opinion is not wrong. It's an opinion and that is all it is. This is not about winning or losing it's about OPINION Why does it have to be right/wrong? Yes, I will admit that it was wrong of me to post here. Carry on.
This thread was to discuss possible longevity concerns with the VOODOO. The entire thread is nothing but opinions. I never said the OPG WOULD blow up. I just said it is a weak link that may cause longevity issues down the road.
Is the OPG a possible source of longevity issues? Yes. Did it...
You can believe whomever you'd like. Yes I have been reading a lot here and on other sites. It's a weak link. You don't need to believe me. Ask any shop that does modifications to the GT350. Ask them the first stock parts to get replaced when doing a build with more power. Ask any user who...
I had PPF on the front end and I put CQuartz on top. If you have ever worked with CQuartz, check one of the used suede application cloths after 24 hours. It's as hard as a rock. I like having that level of protection from bird poop, acid rain etc.
While it won't prevent chips, like a PPF, it...
Comparing a 4 cylinder flat plane engine to a V8 engine is not apples to apples. All you have to do is google inherent flaws in V8, V10, V12 flat plane and you will see NVH is a major problem and has been for years. For packaging reasons, Ford could not use dual intakes and or equal length...
You can't really compare your traditional Ford engine with the VOODOO. Your other Fords did not have a flat plane crank. This allows the engine to rev to the mind blowing 8250 RPM. The problem is the VOODOO has a lot of of shaking going on due to the engine design. This is why the oil filters...
LOL Tom! I just add them to my ignore list. I should know better than to let a few bad apples spoil this for me. Too many great people, like yourself here. I'll take my Prozac earlier now :D :cheers:
OK, guys. I'll continue to be part of this community. Most of the members here are the reason I wanted to stay after selling my GT350.
I don't have a thin skin but when you hear "Why are you still even here?" you start to wonder if you are overstaying your welcome. I don't want to be anywhere...
A lot of times it's the simple things. When you get pulled over put your hands on top of the wheel where they can see them. If at night, put your interior lights on. Roll your windows all the way down.Be very polite but don't admit to anything. If you have to reach into the glove box for your...
I had been putting off cleaning out the bin that I kept all my OEM parts for my GT350. Yesterday I decided it had to be done. I found my resonators, the shield for them, the 17 sill plates, the OEM clutch spring and various hoses removed for the catch can. I was planning to put some of it up...
Purely revenue. I was kind of on the inside as one of my brothers holds a high position in a PD. Speeding tickets are not about safety. Just about generating revenue.
What I despise is the selective enforcement. I saw a cop behind someone doing 50 in a 65 zone in the left lane. After a few...
When I was looking every dealer site had the MSRP and not one was willing to sell for MSRP. Times have changed so maybe it's different but unless you call, do not go by what is on a dealers site. That is how they suck you in.
