Replaced Voodoo Engine

[ThreeFiveO]

991 is a nice option but.....go read Rennlist regarding faulty water pumps. Thought a 991 would be my next car but Porsche doesn't seem to have anymore of a handle on these waterpumps than Ford on these blown engines.

Yea, I've got a 996, can can say IMS?! The thing about the Voodoo is that we don't know what's causing problems...yet.

I have 7000 trouble free miles on mine but this thread is concerning to say the least. I bought this car expecting minor quality flaws given the performance/price ratio but nothing catastrophic. I don't see myself owning it in two years.
Rolling the dice without a power train warranty is not in the cards for me.

Lol. I think everyone here would rather have a water pump fail than the engine.

But is excess oil consumption really an engine "fail"? At least from this site, it seems most motor replacements are being done for oil consumption, not catastrophic failure.

Factory powertrain warranty is 5/60. I personally bought a Ford extended transferable warranty that is 8 years (and their most comprehensive). I'm hoping that allows both me and any future owners to rest a little easier.

The ZL1-1LE is very entertaining to say the least. I am not a fan of the big wing. It slows down the car at top end.

Dumped my ZL1 a few months ago. Chevy is having failed oil pump problems with no fix. Ask me how i know. Multiple failed pumps for some people. Lame!
Just licked up my GT350 in October. 700 miles, no issues yet.

Good plan. I'm right at 3 years in and still have a couple left to make that decision. Love the car and probably need to realize these engine replacements that have been reported are a very small cross section of actual cars on the road.

That's terrible that you had oil pump problems. I hope you have better luck with your GT350, I had high oil consumption, 500 miles per quart. Is yours a new GT350?

Did you break down on the side of the road with the ZL1?

The Shelby is an ‘18 and loving it so far. The ZL1 threw a low oil pressure warning. Shut it down, waited hours for a flatbed and then waited 3 weeks until i got it back. Awful experience.

And if locing is what you meant, tell us what twerking and trumbled means.
