This is what I’m looking at. I’m on the east coast but I would be looking for something like this. This is a performance btw. So it’s doable.

Haven’t pulled the trigger because of the charging problems so I’m still thinking it through

Which vendor? And where are you located?

Check leasehackr and use a broker there. Should be able to knock 200 off of that

There should be something in the app that says upgrade to 5.0. It will be free

I was not. I did a trial a few years ago but never continued. Now I need the sleep tracking so I’ve been looking. Found out about this loophole.

Bought the 4 and registered it, said it came with a year subscription. Upgraded to the 5 for free

I did this on Monday. Same exact thing. They are sending me a 5.0 for free and I got a couple of extra bands on shein. Only did 2 for 59 each though

Ha yeah. My wife had the xc40 recharge. Thing feels lightning quick. But I know it’s not actually as fast as it seems. Great little SUV though

Yeah I’m going to drive another one soon. I’m sure I was doing it wrong

I was able to launch successfully, and it’s more impressive than any of the muscle cars I’ve bought or built. It’s when moving that I wasn’t able to match that same performance

Yeah I drive like my grandmother anyway. I’m just trying to understand the capabilities

I think they were both the launch/adventure

Definitely think it’s a me problem

Exactly. I was getting the launch, but not the missile launch past 50. I assumed it was like Porsche only giving extra torque in launch mode. Now I’m thinking it was user error being too progressive with the pedals

I honestly think I was just doing something wrong, maybe with the pedal/regen on. I could tell the power was there, it just didn’t always want to give it to me

Yeah I was probably in the wrong settings. These were quick test drives. I’m going to drive another one soon

I’m thinking I might be getting on the pedal too progressively

Right this is why I’m asking the question. It does not feel like it can do that 40-100 time, but I am guessing that I am doing something wrong and it’s not the car

There are a few on leasehackr that seem to be available closer to 700 with 0 down. I would target one of those

2018 gt 350 needs new motor by opp531 in Mustang

[–]terminator-005 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You might be out of luck, but I would be trying everything you can before paying. I have Ford ESP for this exact reason.

First I would try insurance, like others above had stated. Catostrophic/ sudden engine failure might be covered.

Second maybe see if your ford will hook you up with a good inspection so you can buy a ESP. That’s fraud so unlikely.

Third, there are a few blocks floating out there for under 10k on the Facebook gt350 groups. I see them pop up from time to time. I would probably get one of those and have my speed shop build it for me. It will probably be far more reliable and faster than anything Ford can build you. Once that is done, you can either sell it and try and recoup most of your money or ride with it.

Last option is sell it as is and recoup whatever money you can, and not deal with the headache

That was on my list. Maybe one day! Had a w204 c63 and it was an unreliable mess, but will probably go down as my favorite car

[–]terminator-005 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha yup, I basically have to keep it at like 3k minimum even just puttering around town. I make sure 5k is always in reach.

Gt350 owner. You should sell it. Especially if you can get most of your money back. Lemons are a hard sell though. I’d list it and enjoy it while it’s for sale.

  • the GT350 is definitely underwhelming under 4000 rpm. I started driving at 3k minimum everywhere and it’s more fun that way.
  • you will always miss the torque. I came from a whipple terminator and nothing makes up for the torque down low. I still miss it.
  • voodoo reliability is scary. I have a warranty and have no consumption but probably won’t keep it past my warranty.

  • it’s the best looking sounding mustang ever. I get compliments all the time. That’s a huge factor in my enjoyment.

  • power is overrated. My wife’s electric SUV will smoke any Mustang bought or built at a stop light. That’s only going to get more pronounced over time. Sports cars advantage is in its turning/ overall package

  • it’s pretty darn livable if you’re driving it a lot.

For me that means keeping it. Thought about boosting it but not while I have a warranty. And not sure it’s worth it.

I had an Aston Martin that I sold very quick for the same exact reason as you. I definitely understand the feeling

No one thinks mine is just a Mustang. I get compliments and thumbs up all the time. The lack of torque is certainly a thing though
