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.

Bushmaster73 · 10-05-2002, 08:24 PM

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

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

How would you like to get a call from the service dept telling you your "once in a lifetime" Cobra hit a wall at 40mph in the service area and the front end is destroyed. Oh, and by the way, we can't replace the car since no more are being made. Mature? Maybe not. But I am pissed!!!!

How many people have you let drive your 'Stang at 140mph?

Hmmm...not to belittle your plight, but in the above scenario I would say, "You bought yourself an nice S/C'd Cobra and I got me a nice S/C'd GT-40. See you in court

I think some of you need to chill out and give the poor sap a break. He showed poor judgement in taking it up to 140 mph, and poor judgement in bragging about it on a public message board, but the way some of you are carrying on, calling for tar and feathers and his head on a platter, is a bit much. He's already apparently gotten fired over this. Please consider the following points:

"Abuse"?? This machine was being driven within its designed operating parameters. It is equipped with speed-rated tires, etc., etc., etc. This is not a '69 pony with a 289 2bbl, here. "Abuse" would be power-slides and nuclear burnouts or speeding down a rough road. He claims he was on an abandoned airstrip (probably illegal anyway). This should not damage the engine, or any other part of the vehicle, and the owner should be satisfied with an apology from the dealer and a few oil changes or detail jobs, and that the guy lost his job.

From a strictly diagnostic viewpoint, he was doing his job. The first rule is to confirm the problem (or lack thereof). The first shop dynoed the thing and claimed fuel trim out of specs and overheated converters (is this "abuse" during break-in? Actually, I don't buy the break-in thing anyway. If the rings are seated and it doesn't have "break-in" oil in the crankcase, then go for it). The complaint was "lack of power and poor fuel mileage" ("Poor fuel mileage"!!) He found no codes and no problems in the shop, so he test-drove the vehicle.

The customer saying, "Don't let some 'punk' drive it," is very telling to me, and probably rightfully offended the technician. He is not some valet parking attendant, but rather, as he said, the Hi-po Mustang specialist. Possibly a very good one, too. I don't think he'll have too much trouble getting another job, despite the efforts to blackball him here (might need to work on his attitude a bit!)

What I find sad is that he posted here out of his sheer love of hot rod Mustangs (owning one), raving about the car, only to be ratted-out by some of his fellow Mustang enthusiasts. For shame! But then, I'd rather push a Chevy than...
