The point I was trying to make... I should have been more clear.... Was that the new owner could potentially buy the car with the changes... And then Ford could over the air update the car and wipe some of the changes.... Leaving the owner scratching his head wondering why certain things didn't...
Oh... interesting that it's sending your modified config back to Ford's servers and that they then must be overwriting their config (tied to your VIN) with your config.
I know this is months later but I was just saw this thread. Quick question: If the car does an automatic firmware update over-the-air, does it overwrite your changes? I don't know how these automatic updates work, but I would presume they are tailored to the VIN... and the VIN will translate...
$170k puts you into GT3/AMG GTR territory and getting very close to 488 territory... all used cars, but an order of magnitude more respect, and all have taken their depreciation hit already. Sayin...
I would be interested to know what the track pack special edition is vs the "regular" track pack.
Well if you drive it and they didn't fix it there's something else going on I would not chase the problem. But if you drive it and you have no noise or vibration at 7 or 80 miles an hour then there is no issue.
I don't about the Carfax thing.. it's not like it was in a crash. We're talking...
They were chasing a vibration and changing parts out.
Go drive the car. You'll know if it's fixed. Plus you get the same factory warranty (the balance of the 3 years from the time of the original purchase).
If there's no noise or vibration, I'm not sure what the issue would be.
So did this this "hesitation" (for me, it's like you lift off the throttle 50% for a moment around 6500rpms... then the power comes back on) stop after the cam sensor? I was under the impression based on feedback here that 1 of the 2 throttle bodies closed somewhat to limit the TQ into the...
Why does Troy Lee Designs have to do with any of this? Totally irrelevant. The whole thing looks cheap with the silly stickers... Looks like a wannabe hillbilly GT.
Thx... personally... I look at the tiny openings on the grill and am like.. wtf? I get the fleet reduced .cd stuff... but It's a V8 GT. I feel cheated lol.
Small things add up. When I'm at our shop next (I'm not living close to it now) I'll get the car on the rollers for a base line. I'm pretty sure with the open grill, air filters, and carbon traps removed I can get close to 20Hp at the wheels, no other changes. We'll see.
The cfm...
