So here is what I found out. One guy with a Procharged GT350 making 830 to the wheels snapped his cam cap, a lifter, and the crank gear. Engine gone. Happened while on the dyno, lol!!
Another guy with a Procharger setup blew his crank gear. He posted it on FB. The Hennessey kit tears the engine down and has forged rods and pistons and lowers the compression...hmm, I wonder why that is... The Lethal Performance GT350 with the Whipple apparently blew the clutch back in Feb of 16 which was basically like 2 weeks after they installed the blower. Back in November of 16 they were still waiting on the clutch and never bothered to update their thread...lol!! 9 months for a clutch and then they vanished...sounds like something more than a clutch blew to me haha!! The Boost Works TT GT350 has a fully built engine. That is what I have found in 5 minutes of searching. So again, where are all of these forced induction GT350s that you keep talking about making over 700 to the wheels on the stock engine? Because each one you keep talking about is either on a built engine or a shop owned car that doesn't get DD'd or driven hard or is waiting on a clutch, SMH... |

Quite honestly, it makes me feel good that you once again talked out of your ass and now can't prove anything you said.
Now you're trying to deflect from the fact that you're wrong about boosted GT350s, lol!! Nice try. You're the one who kept insisting that there were a lot of them out there making over 700 to the wheels on boost and so far you haven't been able to prove anything. So either post the links to the cars you're talking about or admit you're wrong and were talking out your ass and STFU and step back. Most if not all of the handful of cars you mentioned had some sort of mechanical failure or are on a built engine...or have been waiting on a clutch since February of 2016. Even your fellow Mustang boys over on M6G think the GT350 cannot handle that kind of boost. |

He is in the same boat that I and others have been in when buying a Mustang. I thought they were great when I test drove mine. But once I actually signed away on it and drove it home I realized it was a big mistake. It was actually the worst car buying decision I ever made. It dropped in value like a tank off a skyscraper in less than a year. I mean by well over $10K. It grossly underperformed especially at high speeds. The clutch had no feel to it. It couldn't corner better than my stock 5th Gen SS. And you couldn't mod it too far without having to do OPGs and get into heavy suspension mods. Nobody could figure out the damn GT350 TB tuning. Even a standard custom tune was a 2 week wait. LTs were a complete PITA to install. It could not grip the road and when it did you had to worry about snapping the axles...which I saw happen a few times with the S550s at the track. And the fastest S550 stock is still a low to mid 12 sec car while costing way more than a ZL1. If anything, I gotta hand it to Drew Peacock for figuring out how much of a turd they are in less time than I did. I honestly tried to talk myself into liking mine and at the end I just had to get rid of the damn thing once and for all. Good riddance. |

I even have a friend over on another Camaro forum who ranted and raved about trading in a 5th Gen Camaro SS for a S197 GT. He seriously thought it was the shit and even started trolling us and bragging about his GT. After a few months he started talking about how much of a mistake it was and got rid of it and went right back to a 5th Gen Camaro SS. He didn't even mind taking the financial hit to get rid of that car. The S550 is no different. Even if it is the GT350. They are outmatched by the competition, suffer major failure when boosted, and cost much more than other cars that give you more. Biggest most expensive POS from Ford yet.

My guess is that magazines will test the auto 2018 at 12.3 at 113mph.
