Falcon-A sounds like ford has some great stuff there building, One last question for you, have you worked on any 2013/2014 GT500 with the 5.8 trinity motor, and what do you think of them, I guess that's two ?s I thought about buying one. Thanks !
See now that's the interesting thing. We (all shops I work with) rarely work on Ford stuff. It's few and far in between.
Now there are two people around here that have those, and they love em! I haven't heard anything bad whatsoever!
I grew up a Chevy lover! Everyone I know hangout with etc... was the same way.
My whole family was. I will stress WAS!
Nobody in my immediate, or even extended family will have a GM product. I kid you not. I personally don't care but I have noticed over the years how many friends have switched over especially the trucks. Lots of Dodge around these parts too!
If I had to make a living rebuilding Ford engines we'd ALL be broke! Not much goes wrong as long as you do oil changes with GOOD OIL!!
Nothing is perfect, but everything has flaws, but we see the most with GM hands down!
I was BSing with a buddy who owns three shops. He and I both laughed about it when we were discussing it. He said he has made his living off mostly Gm stuff for decades! It's a secret in the industry very few will admit. The techs love them because they all have the same problems so they are easy to diagnose and repair. We can stock the parts as well because it's the same same same continuously!
Now it's getting tougher because there are quite a few variations in the LS that makes them different even though they are the same.
Since the Bailout I think hatred has increased to the level of salesman quitting because of it. One good friend is a salesman and he switched because he said between recalls and people bitching about the bailout he couldn't take it anymore.
He now works at a Ford,Chrysler Jeep dealer and is very successful!
I am sharing this because I think you guys are outstanding and we have the same interests. Otherwise I wouldn't say anything about it. Take it for what it is. \
BTW I was going to buy one myself, I went and looked at one and it was the only one they had and it already was on hold. Stripped down bare ass version for $45,000! That was extremely tempting!
I bought an Audi Cabriolet and absolutely love it. It's not near as fast but all wheel drive 40 valve V8 and quiet as can be with the most kick ass stereo and seats! I have never loved a car as much as I love this!
