2018 With a Replacement Engine

[3pdl]

Buy it. The Gen 2 is no more or less reliable than Gen 1. Treat it right, let it warm up, don't track it, not even AutoX, it will last.

Nigel Tufnel: Look… still has the old tag on, never even played it.
Marty DiBergi: (points his finger at the guitar) You’ve never played…?
Nigel Tufnel: Don’t touch it!
Marty DiBergi: Well I wasn’t going to touch it, I was just pointing at it.
Nigel Tufnel: Well… don’t point! It can’t be played.
Marty DiBergi: Don’t point, okay. Can I look at it?
Nigel Tufnel: No. no. That’s it, you’ve seen enough of that one.

Does the same issue exist with the 500s?

It probably would, if the car were not an automatic transmission.
The reasoning is that the automatic transmission will continously shift at much lower engine rpms, than we do with our manual transmission. Let's be honest, most of us GT350 owners are normally getting the rpms to 6K+ before we shift. I'm sure the GT500 is shifting between 2-3K rpms.
And even if we're not running the a/c, the compressor's pulley is still turning at those high rpms. And when turned on, those continous high rpms are beyond the max rating for the compressor.
