That's actually pretty funny. Sent a picture of the car on track to a Forde exec. His answer "Good, that's why we made the car". Doesn't sound like Ford thought any such thing. And and the "Every owner I know has had an engine go boom". Your opinion is noted.
Whelp, What did you think, the Ford exec. was going to say, you use it, we never........... Come on.
Sorry, I did not know this was only an owners club.
No offense intended here. Iām not going to tell someone not to visit any sub forum. That said itās pretty annoying to have those comment on things they no nothing about. A lot of bashing here from those who have never even sat in a GT350. Not saying thatās you as Iām not going to review your past postsā¦..Iām speaking in general.
I apologize if you took it the way you apparently did.

You can. But its always better if its fact based. Opinions are fine as long as you (I mean anyone when I say you) realize opinion is not a fact.
Me too. I even loved my 70's sportster whose carb fell off several times due to vibration and me being lazy and not tightening it up after every ride.
He can argue with himself, so I shouldn't take it personally!
I don't think more R&D would have accomplished much in this case. I think Ford knew what they were getting into and at times I'm amazed at what they've achieved given the limited parameters of the S550 mustang. I don't know if I would have attempted a 5.0+ liter displacement engine in a flat plane crank configuration. It's a bit of a "Frankenstein" but somehow they pulled it off and created something very unique. But... not without it's faults, however the advantages/driving experience outweigh the faults/risks in MY opinion. I did a lot of wringing of my hands and soul searching as to whether I wanted to take the risk on this car. At the end of the day the draw (looks, sound, handling, etc) was just too compelling. I also didn't have 100k + to invest, nor the additional capital to maintain something more exotic. This was within my reach and I feel like i've purchased something very special. I'm attaching a video from Motor Trend which give some very honest feedback on the 350, as well as some reasonable concerns about the vibration issues and long-term reliability.
Donāt fret my friendā¦ history has shown that there will always be a few select Twat Waffles that will bash the GT350 who do not own the very car they are bashing. It happens again and again. Pay them no mindā¦ I just ignore them.
