I just remember posting up R&T articles, MT, and others raving over the 5.0 lol.I think I vaguely recall that guy with the 2010 3V GT.....that’s just the breaks, the enemy of good is better
My 2007 Chrysler 300 SRT 8 was hot garbage. While the motor was solid the transmission was a dumpster fire. Always shifted at odd times. Not mention the highway gas mileage was straight not ok for a "modern" platform. Who knows maybe it was just me, but I'd never own one again.

My 03 Cobra Convertible was kind of disappointing. I bought it in 09 right after College and thought it was badass, and it was. When I wasn't listening to the great sounds it made, it was hearing dash creaks, had "the vibe" drive line vibration, terrible headlights, top leaked water (fixed that), and those 10th seats let you slide around. Then other stupid shit would happen, the electric fan ate itself on a hot day and sent a plastic shard through the factory radiator, rear corner window motor failure, lost a tweeter. I owned it from 40 to 44k.
Shortblock yes.
Timing components and oil pump? Nope. M6GForums has people all over it disintegrating stock oil pump gears and timing chain parts.
I’ve been blessed with owning a lot of different cars over the years. To me a few stand out as disappointing.
My 04 e46 M3. I bought it new, it was a 6-speed manual... it was bar none the most fun to drive car I’ve ever owned....BUT... it had lots of issues. I owned it two and a half years and it spent a ton of time at the dealership getting fixed. Lots of minor issues that kept reoccurring. Eventually I traded it on a new C6 Z06.
My 01 Prowler. I rented one in Cali for a week and loved the attention and open air fun. When I bought mine, I quickly realized that I didn’t fit in it so well. Sure it got tons of attention, but after a while the car had issues. The car wasn’t meant to be driven, just looked at. The more I drove it the more issues I had. Eventually I traded it on the aforementioned M3.

I guess I'll have to make sure I buy one that already had that stuff upgraded then if that's what I decide to get, thanks.
2012 Dodge Ram - Had it undercoated and it still rusted around the back fenderwells.
What was your highway mileage? I get 21/22 on the highway, which i think is good for what the car is. Did your car receive the TSB transmission flash?
Man, the more I research the 14/15+ Silverados the more disappointed I get lol.
From afm causing lifter failures to the chevy shake.
I had decent hopes at first

I'd buy a dodge truck before I bought another chevy truck....
I thought that was a function of rpm but upping power
I think you see it more frequently on the forums than in real life.
I had a 15 tahoe and we put 50k on it with zero issues.
Since we're also talking about cars we don't own, I have to throw in the upcoming 2019 Audi S6. If the few videos I've seen are accurate, it's going to be a stinking turbo V6! No more V8! That's extremely disappointing. I guess I can go ahead and scratch that one off my wish list.
I can't remember but the NPI was the head swap that was done to those cars to waken it up, right?
PI was the swap and made them faster than the 99-04 GT for some reason. Never really looked into why that was.
Better port design.
My daughter bought a GMC Acadia. It was in the shop more than on the road.
Me personally, a Triumph TR4A. There were few parts to it but they all eventually wore out.

Dodge anything...way too many horrible experiences.
2013 Ford Focus. Wife wanted it, I bought it. Should have known better...
1994 to 1998 Mustang. I rode in a stock one. Never ever been in one from tbose years since.

On the head right?
Were the 96-98 blocks different or something cause it still doesn't make sense that i could put 99-04 GT heads/cams on a 96-98 GT and be faster than the 99-04 GT the heads/cams came off of.
The compression is different. 96-98 PI swaps have around 1 point more compression than stock 99-04 GT's.
