I agree with your other points, but the part highlighted above is not entirely accurate. Keep in mind I am looking to purchase a Shelby, so I am not doing this from the traditional "Chevy vs Ford" mindset.
At least one car on M6G has gone into limp mode during road driving. Not a road course, just spirited driving. There has also been at least 1-2 TRACK cars with other related failures, albeit on a track. You can look them up if you like. I'm on my iPad and it's a bitch to copy/paste and not have one tab suddenly crash on me. Sorry.
And for the Chevy gloaters... keep in mind that at least Ford appears to have 2 options. 1) the aforementioned track pack (now standard for 2017, with commensurate price increase), and 2) Ford is reportedly working on an aftermarket fix for the 2016 base/tech cars. The C7 Z06 has been out over a year longer and Chevy has done nothing to fix its glaring track overheating problems.
No one is immune to this sort of thing. Glass houses and all that, folks.
