Are you mistaking me for someone else AGAIN? I had two GT350s and got plenty of practice putting oil in those pieces of shit. Are you still trolling a section bragging up a car you’ll never have?

Exactly the guy is a troll here and on M6G, but for some reason they let him hang around.

I think if think hard enough even you can figure out how this happens.
I make some impulse purchases and the HC was one of them. I just had to have one. So I didn't mind rolling the money in on the Jeep. Besides it wasn't that much. And the dealership was really cool. They wanted to make the sale and wanted to make me happy. So they gave me an amount that I would have to roll in. I accepted it. Then they came back and said "look, we can do better than that..." and they worked the numbers even better without me even asking. They were really nice people and they came back with numbers that were better than what I had already accepted. So I was fine with it. Plus I could have kept the Jeep. But I wanted a different SUV. I typically rotate SUVs every year or so. To me they are just Winter vehicles anyway.

I didn’t want one then. When I hurt your feeling in the GT350 section. I told you to quit crying and figure out how to put oil in your car. And you seam to have never got over it. I don’t want a GT350 now. But why don’t you go ahead and tell me what I can and can’t afford. Maybe you’re as internet rich as blaq. That’s why your so quick to go to bat for him. Birds of a feather kinda thing.

Mine were and many many others also, especially the first one. Both Voodoos drank oil and the first one was replaced for it under 3k miles IIRC. The second one made it to 10k before it was going to need a replacement as well for the same reason. That plus eating drivers side rear half shafts and other vibration issue related stuff around the car. Weird clutch/transmission behavior and on and on. I traded my 17 and moved on. Do some digging on M6G and you’ll find a 100 plus page thread strictly related to engine replacements. I’ve never seen so many regular members of any forum have so many engines replaced. That plus plenty of other quality/reliability issues.

Ford is having a lot of engines replaced across their line due to cam phaser issues/oil consumption etc. I wouldn’t of leased a new F-150 if it wasn’t for the unbelievable deal I got on it and the promise of a F-150 loaner from my dealer when things go wrong.

Chevs and others have obviously had their well publicized issues over the years, but there is no way I’d trust a new Ford product, especially one like the GT500 the first couple of years. If wait and see what happens with the early adopters.

Within a 100 mile radius of me, there are 25 gt350 for sale, and almost all have less then 8000 miles. Some are on 3rd and 4th owners.

That was one thing about the GT350 that I did not like. I will be honest, based on looks alone, it was hard to pass up the Shelby. The problem was tho that for the price they did not offer enough performance. I still kept them on my list of cars that I wanted...at the bottom of the list. But at $50K+ the non-R was the lowest performing car with the least options while the R could not be had without markups. And I had a buddy who bought a non-R with a $5K markup. I told him I was considering one and he told me not to waste my money. He traded his in after 1 year for a brand new 3LZ Z06. LOL!!

Uh huh, you stick your nose in everyone else’s business while having no means to buy the cars in the forums you troll. Not only that you are truly not a nice person and only want to start arguments for your own entertainment. I obviously did move on, but you are too much of an idiot to even notice that.

Ford had issues with cam phasers on the F-150s back in the early 2000s and they still haven't got it right apparently. Well, that along with torque converter shutter.

Honestly I loved the drive of that car. The Voodoo when it did work is an V8 NA engine lovers dream. Plus the mag ride with some cheap/easy to DIY Steeda suspension upgrades worked really well. I also had R spec Forgeline track wheels. It was a great car for the track. Unfortunately the first 6 months of owning my first one it was in the shop for 4 of them. I ended up getting some cash and trade assisted into a 17. And that worked great until 9k or so miles and went the way of the first one. It was one of the funnest cars to drive I’ve ever owned.

I went back to BMW M3/4 for awhile as I know they are pretty reliable, but got bored and missed the V8 etc. I’m glad I tried the ZLE because it is my favorite motor of the three and obviously the best out of the box suspension package for the track. The LT4 has the linearity of an NA engine, but with the obvious pinch of a turbo engine with the SC. I’m really hoping it doesn’t go the way my GT350s did because I really love this car.
