Once again Xcentric is CORRECT! The 3.5L engine in the NFGT is NOT a flat "PLANE" crankshaft. Very difficult if not impossible (see above) to use a flat plane crank with the internal dynamics of a V6. Actually the use of a flat "PLANE" (not plan) crankshaft accentuates acceleration rates...

Terry, Kevin should have excluded Lightweight owners who optioned the Exterior Accent Color package. But you did quickly identify the three differences. Looking forward to seeing you car in person and we can compare...

Thanks for asking Ed. I have it on good authority the Motorcraft 5W-50 Full Synthetic oil will work just fine in our 3.5L engine. This question was asked internally early into the program and the response was this oil will work just fine. And I do not believe there is warranty liability exposure...

While Gary is correct, the "supercharger pump" is mechanically driven by a belt off the crankshaft pulley. Thus when the engine is running (the crankshaft is spinning) the supercharger pump is in operation by default. Now perhaps Tipo874 is referring to another system loosely associated with...

Ohhhhh CRAP! We are all in for a bumpy ride with Gary at the controls!!!

Where is my popcorn emoji? :) Ahhhh, there it is 🍿

Actually this is a pretty good instructional video for those tracking their GTs, old or new. The GT350R owner Nick and his driver Austin tell us this is an advanced driver session. Both Camilo and Austin do a pretty good job of driving the Spring Mountain course and I applaud Camilo for putting...

Nicely put Dave. Good feedback and sounds like you had a great time. Now if Nick and Blake had been there, that would have been a photo.

Thanks Andy. This video came at a very opportune time for me. Needed to see some build shots....

Congrats Jack! What an experience. I will unload her anytime you are not around.....

Come join the NFGT party Manny. Here's hoping you win an allocation! Happy B'day my friend....

Just out of curiosity..... Billy is very technically savvy and understands how to treat an engine for longevity. When you get to his experience level you know quite a bit about engine design. So why do you think he has not "upgraded" his engine control to allow his personal V6 to rev higher...

Gary, I think Jim was just waiting for this day to arrive to jump on the Birthday. Have a Bud Light for me and enjoy your day!

Well put DBK. But when a new owner does dive into the deep water, be sure to let us know how it goes!:biggrin

RIP my friend...… You are very much missed.

Yea, what he said!!! Mark you have been absent for FAR too long. Give us an update. Will the car again be at PRI this year? (with you?)

Sweet!!!

Paul, I completely agree. If a new FGT owner has deep pockets and is not looking to Ford to support any engine warranty claims, have at the modifications. This new 3.5L V6 is NOTHING like the 5.4 V8 in the 05-06 and will not tolerate the multiple engine modifications the early cars took on...

I agree with Kendall, I have not heard of any transaxle spline difficulties from other owners over the past 12 years. And as he states many of these applications are at power levels significantly higher than the OE 550 hp level. I too would tend to think this was a clutch disc problem. And...

LOL Man behind the curtain... Chip yet another heart felt story of how this (these) Ford product(s) have changed our lives for the better. Well done sir! Having visited the Penske Autocomplex several times, I could vividly see in my mind exactly your story. There just is no comparison despite...
