Afraid To Drive 2018 Mustang GT

[ZLwhat]

You did when you defended it and then admitted to just being a troll. Whatever dude you won the internet today.

This is defending the cybertruck? " Could say the same about the over priced GTD, but i digress " TF is wrong with the youth these days lolllll

Elon made sure nobody thinks that anymore when he designed the cybertruck.

The Cybertruck looks like a 5 year old doodled this on a scrap pad of paper during Kindergarten classroom boredom.

I think your average 5 year old could draw a cooler car.

I used to do Pinewood Derby when I was a kid and the cybertruck always reminded me of the kids who were really bad at shaping their wooden blocks into race cars.

if I remember correctly every panel is completely flat. Not much to say about that styling LOL

I don't know the first thing about that truck besides how it looks. Is it bad?

It's certainly bold. But it 100% looks like it belongs in my kitchen not in my garage.

Not in my kitchen. I think it looks more like something that is in the alleyway behind a restaurant.

Speaking of the GTD, I have always found its name incredibly daft. To me GTD sounds like a GT diesel. What were they smoking?

Agree so much.
GTD works way better if it's placed after 'Jetta'.
I guess at least they didn't call it the Dark D

The only thing that's really bothered me about them is how they are prone to cracking at the block and bell housing. So for a great peace of mind, I installed MMR block braces. They seem to be a "proven" part.

You my friend guided me somewhere in life with this and I thank you for that lol

Well I had a lot of discussion about this with NGOT8R. He has a lot of nitrous launches on slicks and his are still perfect. If u research this subject (sounds like u have lol), you'll see a lot of coyote's and voodoo's have this problem.

Only thing is not a fan is them not having it for a 10r80. I emailed company to see if they have a similar alternative for it. We’ll see what happens.

I bought my 2018 GT (built 03/18) brand new off the lot in August of 2018 with 3 miles on it. I bought it for it to be a nice weather toy since our winters are brutal on vehicles. It has all of 7,978 miles on it because I'm afraid to drive it after all of the things that I've read regarding issues like cylinder scoring and roller follower failure.

I change the oil and filter every spring, and I've been running Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5W-30 with a Motorcraft filter ever since Ford changed to 5W-30 during the 2021 model year. I've never driven it hard.

Prior to the 5.0, I had a 2007 GT along with a 2010 GT. I never worried about the 4.6, but the third gen 5.0 has me on edge.

I'm looking for advice from anyone who has actually put miles on a 2018-2023 GT.

Keep fresh oil and filter in it and don't rev it to the moon. I don't take mine above 6500 rpm ever. Simply no need

Good luck blowing up your engine

Yeah, because Ford didn't put thousands of them out on their warranty dime over the last decade.
