My good friend just picked up his 2021 Shelby GT500. He also has a Shelby F-150 and a 700+hp SHO. He brought it out Saturday but it’s having issues. I’m not sure what’s wrong exactly but he’s had to take it home and park it twice in the first week he’s owned it. Ford is sending a technician to his house to try and fix whatever is wrong.

My wife got her 2022 John Cooper Works Clubman that we ordered in March. It’s a lot of fun. 306hp 332ft/lb turbo 2.0 I-4 and AWD.

For what that cost I’d be livid.

At Least it hasn’t dropped a valve yet like the GT350 it replaced was know for

The thing is probably missing a microchip or two...

Not hip on the stang but that’s a badass SS drop top it’s sitting next to!

Congrats on the Works edition. Good power and AWD, that car should be a blast to drive…

I thought they had rear end issues? Valve train too?

Thanks. She absolutely loves it. It definitely loves the mountain roads. Very quick and agile.

For Humorous reading, google GT350 dropped valve, the threads are seeming endless.

Yikes!

Makes me love the LS engine even more. These seem bulletproof.

We may have the occasional oil pump issues and the afm lifter issues in the Camaro LS world but nothing like the problems the Ford girls have. The 5th gen Camaro’s from bumper are rock solid over all in my opinion. Most of those engine failures and even rear end problems seem to show up even on stock or mostly un modified cars.
