[QUOTE="fearthesnake, post: 16322275, member: 40345"] I believe Ford has a bigger quality issue than just the GT350 engine. It all starts at the top and it's being driven home to turn a profit at the cost of quality. Speaking of the new 5.0s, I know there is an engine issue from the factory but it won't be a recall or tsb. Alot of new 5.0 owners complain of engine tick. Well, it's not a injector or head but a Engine bore issue from the factory in which the bore is out of round. I know of 3 owners now that had complete long block replacement. One friend only had 200 miles on his 5.0 PP2 package, had both heads replaced(didnt fix the noise) prior to Ford stepping up to the plate and replacing the motor. My point is it just seems like in the last 3-4 years the quality is being sacrificed with more and more issues/repairs having to take place than there was 5 to 10 years ago. I could be wrong though. Think I'll wait 2 to 3 years before buying the new GT500 so any kinks can be worked out. Thought about selling my 2013 but will hold on for now. Thanks for your feedback. [/QUOTE]
