29 pages?
 

OK, I've been through 29 pages of this, and it looks like I'm at odds with folks from around the world. To me , it seems like this lady took her car in and said it doesn't have adequate power. Poor mileage is an ignorant complaint to begin with. If not a 'punk' , who is supposed to test drive the car? What's the little lady's definition of a punk anyway? This guy is supposed to be the dealership's SVO "expert". When you take your car in for a "not enough power" complaint, a severe thrashing is a given in IMHO.

140 doesn't seem like much of a stress test for new '03 Cobra. A hand built performance engine with proper accurate clearances probably won't be hurt by such a test. I personally wouldn't do it. But I wouldn't put my car on a dyno with 1000 miles or whatever it had either. Certainly, I wouldn't invite the dealership to test it for inadequate power. Any idiot would know what was to follow.

OK, let the flames begin. I know that I disagree with almost everyone here.

I picked this on www.guideauto.com.

Well, It seems this topic has been read by a lot of people up to now! I wouldn't like to be in the shoes of a particular guy, or a particular Ford dealer at this moment... But hey, they deserve what is happening!

I can't wait to hear the conclusion of the legal procedures. Don't give up!

Cheers!

I posted this on Bushmaster73.com adding to the madness :D , Strangeman is a dumbass, that's a given, but if a SVT engine can't handle 140MPH then Ford makes a bigger piece of **** than I always though they did :rolleyes: That doesn't excuse what the dumbass did, but I wouldn't base your outrage on him destroying the engine...

Hey Wipeout! Drop a Northstar in that b itch!

Blatent disrespect for peoples property, Period.

Saw this on a few boards like Pirate4X4 and Ford-Diesel, and I posted a link on my Green industry sites, Lawnforums.com and plowsite.com I hope that looser gets his *** beat.

i hate this evil german freak! i know that his post was several pages back, but he still pisses me off. I come from a country that has no respect for speed limits and yeah, people often cruise over 120mph because not many can do better than that. Most cars that are used in Brazil are small and have little tiny engines. 2.0 is considered a large gas guzler!!

I thank whoever posted a lesson for the German bigot that hates 'stupid americans'. I believe that this man's [i don't really know if it's a man, for all i know it could be nutered] comments are raceist against all races that make up the American melting pot incluiding his own, but mostly targeting the american culture and his need to rub his country's poor policeing (wich is not a good thing). Most policemen in this country are very law abbiding (my mother has over 20 points on her lisence due to having to adjust to american traffic laws, she now utilizes a hardship lisence).


Linch the freak!!!!

P.S german guy, go hide in a placce where you can't bother others

I hate those who are intolerant of other's cultures even if they hate mine, it's not going to help me any to dispose my time and energy hating another, but you just enrage me!!! You, I hate.

ford makes a bigger pos than i alway's THOUGH they did , lol you get the moron of the day award. bling, bling, KING. please dont tell me your a mechanic too. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :D :D :D , the 03, can handle 140 & more, my gt has been to 135, what is your pos again? lol troll on. cya. :rolleyes:

no Crazy Horse, I think you can keep the award another day! I was saying that I know that an SVT engine can handle 140, it damn well better be able to handle it. When a friend of mine had a 98 Cobra it reached close to those speeds all the time and he didn't have any internal problems...

Howdy

I've been lurking at this forum for awhile but this thread made me actually join up.
I had almost the exact same thing happen to me with the car in my av. Unfortunately for them I caught the mechanics dead to rights. They came roaring up to where I work in MY CAR. Needless to say they were fired and I got free oil changes for a year.
Stangman96 you are a poor example of a human being.:mad:

Just stopping in from http://cargasm.no-ip.com

I hope that all the legal stuff is going well for the Cobra owner. May this dealership never be able to service any SVTs agin. I'm going to tell all the people I know in Texas to avoid nsford.

of course the car can handle it....but not one that hasnt been broken in...you never run a car hard before its been broken in...

This is a car that was broken in HARD! I think he cranked this thing up the day he got it. Break a car in how you plan on driving it, and dynoing a car before it's broken in is much worse than running it....

Burnout

my god I'm gonna go through ALL my allocated bandwidth this month....

nope pal, you just won it for a month, a guy i know built his pos chevy 3 times in 3 month's ,because he said break them in like your gonna drive them, well he built that junk 3 times before he got 300 miles on it. drive thru & claim your trophy. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

you know crazy horse, if you're gonna flame me, and call me a moron, it would seem like you'd wanna quote me from the right post at least...

oh excuse me, but to defend a mo fo who abuses someone else's ride, yet what do you drive, i dont want a flame war- ok, just dont defend an idiot that abused a lady's car, that's all. peace.

where did I defend him? I said he was a dumbass and I can't defend what he did!!!! I did say that there is no way he destroyed the engine. If the engine was still in the breakin period, witch I didn't see tony or the dumbass say, then they should've never had it on a dyno because that would do a hellova lot more damage to it than running it would. I drive a 98 Chevy Cavalier Z24, witch I got for $3500 when gas got too damn expensive to drive a full size truck. It may be small and underpowered but it works for me for now :rolleyes: Sorry if I don't like fords but I'm used to getting blasted for driving a Chevy and I could really care less...

i never said that you said ford engine's can't handle that, or whatever, i didnt know that you drove a chevy, guess what??? i drove every chevy muscle car you could dream about, chevelle ss , 69 camaro's, nova's, etc, then i learned as i got older if you get a ford , keep up your maintence on them, well- you dont have to change - or re- build your engine every 70,000 mile's, so you cant tell me about chevy's i was mr chevy from the time i was 16 till i grew up at 23 then i found out about chevy's, they may be fast, but they just dont last. all i'm saying is let's forget this & move on, ok with you? peace.:) what im saying is i get blasted for driving a ford , but i dont care, i want to end this flame war man-to man. ok:cool:

Stopped by from www.diesel-central.com Hope the legal stuff goes her way. Good Luck Thunder
