    Sagging rear bumper fascia issue

    Ford has already replaced mine and I am still waiting for them to do it again. The sag was so bad I had chipping paint on the leading edge, so they replaced the entire piece. New one is sagging just as bad and chipping paint again. Now there is a 1/2" crack next to the Shelby logo on the rear...

    New Goodies

    Yep, this along with the oil filter and wrench is pretty cool. Still think I would prefer the promised larger throttle bodies and track key.

    1st Oil Change

    1st oil change at just north of 5200 miles. I put in 10 quarts of AMSOil 5W-50 and the job couldn't have been easier. Hardest part was jacking the car and setting the jack stands. Got an Evercraft Oil Filter Wrench from NAPA, PN 776-9007, for $5. It is 76mm and it fits the filter perfectly...

    Starting to have some quality concerns . . .

    So, the car was delivered with a defective TPS in the right rear wheel and I have already had my rear bumper repainted because the paint was flaking off the panel seam edges. Now the fasteners securing the driver's floor mat have torn loose from the carpet from nothing more than the stress...

    GT 350 Front Splitter

    So my local Ford dealer has had my 350 twice. The first time was to replace a faulty TPS in the right rear tire that the car was delivered with and the first yahoo to move the car drives right onto a parking space divider scraping the bottom of the front splitter. If I hadn't watched him do it...

    What is wrong with Sync?

    So I connect my iPhone to Sync so I can listen to my tunes, on comes The Scream with some serious blistering rock and guess what Sync displays on the screen? "Urban," with a couple of Hip-Hop chicks in the icon. Not that there is anything wrong with "Urban", but you know, there is. What is...

    Not concerned yet, but . . .

    At a stop light in neutral, depress the clutch and snick it into 1st. Light changes, I hit the accelerator, release the clutch and bang it pops out of gear. That is number 1. A couple weeks later I am in the same position, but this time I have the shifter in my hand with the clutch depressed...

    Anyone install an oil catch can yet?

    Had JLTs on both sides of my 2013 GT500 before I upgraded to a Bob's on the passenger side only. Anyone install on your GT350 yet? I know we don't have intercoolers to worry about clogging anymore, but is there any benefit to be had?

    Avalanche Grey w/Tech Package

    Arrives tomorrow. Pics and impressions to follow :cool man: This car handles like you wouldn't believe. It goes exactly where it is pointed and does it with authority. While the motor is very docile below 3K RPM the faster you go, the quicker it accelerates. The deep throaty roar of...

    Has this ever happened to you?

    On a local road today and ended up in the #1 spot in the left hand lane at a stop light. Decided to nail at green, hit 85 in 2nd, let off and LMAO glanced in the rear view . . . State Trooper Did I mention the speed limit there was 40? Tapped the brake and slowed down to 45, he moved to the...
