Poll for 15/16 Tech pack owners only

[firestarter2]

Its interesting that folks responded to:

Would buy the tech pack and push for ford to cover the coolers

Its obvious at this point nothing is going to happen. Ford has moved on to Raptor and other launches. We have allowed them to get off with minimal bad press and the ROI for them in their opinion is to do nothing more. Half baked kits and transmissions with no warranty are all they will do. I dont blame them in some respects as their dealer network almost certainly cannot handle retrofitting the parts. They cant even install splitters, remove spring blocks, or torque oil filters properly. When they do fuck up they make excuses and try to resolve themselves of any responsibility.

They have factored in the future loss of sales via brand damage versus the costs of fixing the cars or providing a more complete solution process and decided not to do much of anything. Its over.

We have to accept we bought a car that excels at nothing but sound, braking, and 5 minute bouts of excitement. We suffer from the track gearing and power band on the street, with no track capabilities. It is a peculiar situation. A true track car that cant track. Its funny not to laugh a bit when taken in context.

these models really do not deserve to have the gt350 nameplate on them. A truly misguided build configuration.

You have to realize that if FORD covered coolers they would of had to compensate the Track owners who paid for them. Regardless of where you stand on the issue this scenario was never likely regardless of how much pressure was applied.

We're in the minority here, but i feel the thread title should also include base car owners as well since i'm sure some would've decided on a different package.

So that being said, knowing what i know now, i definately woul've bought a track pack car.

I would consider yours a legitimate vote. Illegitimate votes are from Track or R owners.

I voted to buy and push Ford for a solution. That said, if a solution isn't forthcoming, I will likely just do it myself. The transmissions are available now and that is a doable swap in my cramped garage. No reason to give more money to Ford unless it comes with a warranty.

Brand damage for sure however there are proven fixes I could install this weekend and my Tech is just as capable as any track or '17 (non-R). I am as frustrated as the rest with Fords lack of professionalism and transparency regarding our coolers but in no way is my GT350 a throw away car. For me, I can wait out my warranty period and see what Ford may offer by December 30, 2018.

No, fixing a flaw in one set of affected cars does not entitle another person to compensation. Or anyone with a Chevy would be expecting a check every time GM does a recall.

Off course it does, Track owner paid for the coolers, If Ford gave them to Tech and Base owners for no charge(free) they'd have to compensate the Track owners.

The magnaride suspension was the deciding factor for me going w the Tech. Long term, your base is gonna be the rarest of them all imo.

What are you talking about?

Companies have fixed flaws in products that they produced, but I can't think of one occasion of a company paying customers because someone else got something for free that they paid for.

Logic available to me in May 2015 when I ordered it... Let's not highjack the poll with the same old song and dance...:hitcomputer:

We now know in which camp @Epihany is. addle:

 

[firestarter2]

There is so much discussion about coolers, track pack vs. tech pack, aftermarket solutions vs. ford performance solutions and who should pay for what that i am really curious about if the 15/16 tech pack owners could go back in time and do it again what would they do?

How fundamental is reading?

No irony here, he reached out to tech owners, not guys like you. Go troll somewhere else, you have no dog in this fight and nothing constructive to bring.
