[QUOTE="tomshep, post: 15445716, member: 8203"] I believe Ford underestimated how quickly these cars would go into limp mode. It has existed for years in various models. In 96 there was a TSB for the Cobras that upgraded the entire radiator and cooling system due to overheating. The terminators would heat soak, same as the 07-09 Shelbys. It was just expected after a few laps. I don't remember it happening as much with the 11-12, but they had the track pack cars then. For 13-14 they had performance pack and then the track pack coolers on top of that. So, Ford has definitely known the need for coolers on these cars. With the IRS, the packaging is much smaller and you don't have the axle tubes for additional fluid capacity and cooling. Should the electronics owners be upset their cars can't even complete a 20 minute session? I believe so. On most tracks that is probably 10-12 laps at most. That really isn't very long. I also think it speaks volumes that Ford has addressed it for the 2017 models. Ford basically admitted they screwed up by no longer allowing anyone to order an electronics package without coolers.
