[QUOTE="50 Deep, post: 15563548, member: 89167"] Here is the problem fellas. Both of you have been around the track long enough to know exactly what is needed for a car to survive there. That is good knowledge to have, but unfortunately many people do not. You are operating under the assumption that every potential buyer should have known. The car was built for the track enthusiast, but also marketed to bring those that had never been to the track before into that hobby. No matter how much research a potential buyer could have done, absolutely nowhere could you have found out that the tech package could not survive an HPDE, Autocross event, or touch limp mode on the street. Nobody even knew the car had a limp mode function, as I don't think any other mustang previously released did. Sure, ford mentioned that coolers were needed. Nobody can argue that point. But that statement was left with ambiguity and open to interpretation. People such as yourselves with prior track experience took it to mean you will need coolers before going to the track. People without track knowledge had no idea the extent of what that meant, and honestly it was never published or disseminated to buyers. It wasn't until after buyers started to report the issue that it became common knowledge. The rub is that Ford tested the car and knew the limitations, but never made it known. Can you both honestly say that even you weren't a little surprised when you first started to hear that any GT350 couldn't last an HPDE event? And totally in shock when you heard one went into limp mode on the street? All anyone ever knew is what the car was, not what it wasn't. [/QUOTE]
