Dude, you haven't seen personal attacks.

Doesn't mean it's right.

Well, I'm in Germany, autobahn and all.

Besides, if I do and get a limp mode, will the regional rep just say "you should have gotten a track package"?

Lol, then you are REALLY reaching (me jealous).

I have a feeling there will more "official" responses as time goes on.

Nah, I was just throwing a little sarcasm in there anyways.

I'm sure I'll have a wonderful experience with the car. This is just a worry I didn't imagine ever having.

Again, Ford markets a track car. ford markets all these features that can't be used on the street. But then they do market you inability to use these features.


And quit with the personal attacks, before a reply in kind.

And you're getting a track car. Ford markets "five different package levels, for different performance demands and purposes.". You will have the 3rd one on the list.

Oh and I put a line on the signature block so you don't feel compelled to read it every post.

What a bunch here. All the bickering. How are people ignoring that a $60,000+ performance car cannot even complete a 15 minute HPDE track event in 65 deg weather. I'm sorry guy's, but that is an absolute joke.

I agree. And it's a failure.

Lemers, first off you don't even have your car yet.
you have no idea if it will or won't go into limp mode on the
Autobahn. Ford is working on it, sorry if they don't send you the engineering
reports and updates. Also wrap your head around this, when they get the fix,
its not going to be free.

Side Note. Careful arguing to hard the legal abilities of any car.
Almost every car on the road will break the speed limit, and several groups
lobby governments each year to put governors on all cars.
( careful what you wish for)

First off, it shouldn't matter if I have my car yet or not. I have money down, so with a known problem I have a justifiable concern. More justifiable than people who have nothing in this fight

Is Ford working it? No proof is available and there are conflicting reports on how, so again that raises doubt.

Side note. Ford can't make all these magical claims in this press release about the Gt350

https://media.ford.com/content/ford...s/cars/mustang/2016-gt350-350r-press-kit.html

Which is more real than the claims of a fix. Then say you can't have them.

Well as all know, Ford is not the only one working on it.

I understand your concern and fair point, but you really should re-read what
you are writing, you are on a posting mission on this topic, arguing with anyone and everyone about anything said that does not suit your view.

This thread would be way shorter and far less argumentative if only people with tech packs and base cars were posting here.


Just sayin'.

There are a few people that are basically on the side of (you got the wrong car, ford owes you nothing, so deal with it)

Anytime I see the (well here it says track package option...) I gonna counter. It just a fact that Ford's messaging wasn't clear and some people on the hook for a $60k should get the performance they were expecting not some "halfassed car with a limp"

Agreed. People seem to be stirring the pot and blaming the ones defending the tech package side.
