[QUOTE="mike69440, post: 12398533, member: 3142"] [b]If Ford offers a track pack , why not H beam rods?[/b] If Ford tells you out of the corner of there mouths that very few 13 GT550’s owners really have any need for the Track Pack, why not have the same strategy with H beam rods? “You do not need this rod option unless the motor is to be heavily modified for racing, professional track use only intended.” The costs and logistics of offering an upgraded rod will not be anywhere the Track Pack to Ford, but the margin mark up could be way up there. I bet they could sell the rod upgrade for near $2,000 all day long at a material cost of below $500 to Ford, plus a bit of overhead and inventory control Ford does not warrantee cars that are tracked, and I expect Ford would only honor proof of faulty materials and workmanship on upgraded rod engine internals.
