Congrats! What color and options? I suggest reading the GT350 Basics sticky thread. Lots of really good info there. As for oil consumption, there is real concern for that in previous production years. But then again the actual percentage of GT350's that this issue effects is not known. Its been accepted but not publicly acknowledged...to my knowledge anyway...that Ford made a change to new pistons and oil ring packs for the 2018+ years to address the issue along with piston slap. Honestly, here it is in 2019 and I haven't been reading or hearing about these issues with the 2018 GT350's. I think there's a couple early 2018 builds that had issues. Nobody has really pinpointed exactly when the change went into effect. The 2018's have been on the road now for a while so by my thinking, that's a positive sign. I have an April 2018 build GT350R and have no issues but mileage is still pretty low. Undoubtedly your 19 will have this update. Just follow the manual on break in and enjoy your awesome car.Hi All,
Ignorant ford poster here (see my brood list)... as in I have never owned a Ford, let alone a mustang, and definately not a Shelby! The reason I am posting is because I have ordered a 2019 GT350 and I am looking forward to my first Ford. Why? The main reasons are FPC, Manual, looks, sound (see FPC), muscle reputation. I think the FPC is what makes the car special (and enough for me to try out a Ford) and putting in a CPC seems to take a lot away from that, performance comparisons aside. Just my opinion. Regardless, i see a lot of posts about oil consumption and reliability. Any truth to that? Ill pretty much be driving this back and forth to work, no tracking... and occasionally pushing her to her limits (as much as a crappy driver used to German DCT's can), but just wondered if I should avoid due to engine issues. I kind of assumed it was exceptions considering how many have been produced so far... but... any feedback???
