The rumor is he had some sort of upgrade on the engine or something that influenced it catching fire...I don't think the owner is being fully truthful here.

Where did you hear that? I am quite interested in the outcome of this given I'm driving a GT myself.The rumor is he had some sort of upgrade on the engine or something that influenced it catching fire...I don't think the owner is being fully truthful here.
What is very interesting so far with the 2 fires that have both happened on GT's, nothing has been shared as to what the cause was. One, the car owner had to pay to get his car fixed (seat that burned) and he has since sold it and bought a 2004 C6 Z06 as of 2 weeks ago.Where did you hear that?

At a local dealer in the area near where it happened. Since I'm weighing ordering a '16, I was talking to them about issues with the 2015, panel alignments, some noises, etc that people have reported and brought up the big one which was this fire and they replied they heard it was something the owner installed that influenced that fire.Where did you hear that?

The guy with the burning seat dropped a cigar or cigarette between the seats. It was confirmed owners fault. This one though the OP just dropped off and won't say the status or confirm if it's dealer or Ford (or himself as was just mentioned). it got pretty heated for a while but it would be nice to know what the final verdict was.What is very interesting so far with the 2 fires that have both happened on GT's, nothing has been shared as to what the cause was.

That is odd to me, but I don't work in that industry nor do I have any ideas on how these things are actually investigated and to what extent.
I see what you did there. ;)t got pretty heated
Interesting. First I had heard the owner confirmed. He posts on some Facebook groups and had still said to this day, it was a fault with the car and nothing he did.The guy with the burning seat dropped a cigar or cigarette between the seats. It was confirmed owners fault.
Yah...cars usually don't catch on fire for no reason...usually it's user error but obviously there are rare cases.Interesting. First I had heard the owner confirmed. He posts on some Facebook groups and had still said to this day, it was a fault with the car and nothing he did.
I followed the thread closely at SVTP and even commented a few times but I believe that thread died and was deleted? Will have to check my subscribed threads.
I know a couple guys said they had some inside info but it was never released and I think that is when the thread went by by.
I always assumed it was something like you mentioned above that caused the issues. Every car that guy has owned has broken multiple times. His GT500. His new to him, Z06 is now making rear-end noises in the first 3 days of his ownership...LOL.
When did this happen? Missed that...No pictures yet of all the GT350s that burned? Of course in that case it was the carrier truck that started it.
I'd like toknow what caused mine then, since everything was done by a tech from Ford. They said faulty fuel line probably. Almost killed me regardless. I now have brain injuries from the incident.When did this happen? Missed that...
