The first "issue" was already posted on the other forum. Something about wavy rocker panels

Was not rocket panels it was side splitter a couple pics did look like they had some waves and stuff but they are preproduction models and mules that have seen some hard use so the plastic side splitter getting damaged maybe to early to call it an issue

Eh, Ford won't have the same issue with this issue. They've spent too much money replacing the 5.2L in the GT350s.
I sincerely hope so....although there was the era of 6.0/6.4 powerstrokes....where they just kept smashing their face into the wall for 9ish years...and the 5.4/4.6 3 valve debacle.

Either way hope they have this nailed down

This is a little different though. They aren't mass producing and hitting deadlines for fleet deals...

And the tech pack fiasco, annnnnd learning from GM's mistake with the C7Z. It would be criminal if they managed to screw up cooling in this car

Spent to much money replacing Blocks with out of round bores on 19 model 5.0s too!

Most drivers think it's a normal tick when its not.

COTA, this coming summer will show just how good the thermal management is with this car. Or not.

Will be interesting to see if they have something noted in the owners manual re: oil consumption expectation as they did in the GT350's......
