Shelby J Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Ok sports fans. How many of you are out there like myself that have one car and it is a GT 350 and you can't go to the BASH????? I missed # 7 because it was the second year to race inside the NASCAR track and I did that once and didn't need that again. Last year I didn't have a car. This year I have a car and can't drive it.

07gt500conv Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Why cant you go to the bash? Just because of the recall on the GT350??? I am shipping my GT350 out to Cali next week, driving it all around Cali the week prior, will be in LA for the start of Bash and then drive to Vegas. Hope to see you there.

real_supersnake Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 There are plenty of us that have had car issues and ended up grabbing a rental and taking it to the Bash. I found a '13 GT at Hertz a couple years ago and burned it up at the track. You still have options. Don't miss out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcSpaz Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 I would love to go... but I am slammed with work for about a year. I got two new contracts in the last two months and they are going to keep me slammed. I have to stick to local tracks for awhile. I am a bit concerned about the trans overheating and the oil cooler line. I really want to address both before I hit any tracks, too.

Jay... Seriously?! I'd drive that car all the time, regardless of the letter. I had three cars subject to the airbag recall, didn't stop me from driving/tracking them. You're assuming that something WILL happen, when in fact, the numbers are very small that anything will. At our last local track day at Laguna Seca two months ago, there were at least a dozen GT350's flying around without issue If you're that concerned, do EVERYTHING but the track...you'll be fine, and amongst your friends.

Just my .02 Totally agree with everything above. My GT500 is waiting on the passenger airbag recall, still driving it. Matter of fact, that will be what I will be driving while I am still home when the GT350 leaves for Cali tomorrow. As far as the recall on the oil cooler on the GT350, if it leaks, Ford will fix it. Otherwise I am driving car. The other item of the Trans Cooler, I did an DIY kit and it loves the cooler on the track, can't wait til the Bash and be able to hit Spring Mountain.

freakyjoe Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 At the risk of sounding ignorant, what is the BASH? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Sak Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 reasons for missing..... 1) Death, at which time I hope to see my Shelby friends again regardless! 2) Incapacitated due to Health reasons, of which could include caring for loved ones with aforementioned issues. IMO, any other reason is just an excuse or result of poor planning! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny1 Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 Just got a call from my Ford dealership service that the part to fix the oil line has been released!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mach 1 1970 Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 Since I don't drive my 14 GT500 in the passenger seat I'm not concerned. Don't take passengers either. Drive my wife's car when we go out together. Oil lines would bother me but I don't have that 16 Shelby track car anymore. 7 + month wait for the fix does seem a bit much.

johnny1 Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 My service department just called and said those that have a leaking line get there's first (they have to send Ford pictures) and then we can get ours so may still be a little while.

BIKEBOY Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 They (Stealers) have been instructed to repair ALL unsold units FIRST. Then, and ONLY then, consumer cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IASHELBYGT Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 (edited) Or if your car is leaking oil, but still bikeboy is correct. Owners cars are 2nd fiddle. And this is what my service manager told me last week. This is copy of email. David, Just to update you, the parts order has come back denied for the time being due to parts supply constraints. Vehicles that are currently sold and registered are not eligible for parts ordering until mid-March (that is their E.T.A on better availability) unless they are in the dealership with a leaking cooler tube. If the concern presents itself, please let me know right away. Otherwise, we will have to await further notice from Ford. Thank you, Edited March 6, 2017 by IASHELBYGT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
