Default Ford Orders Production to Stop on 05 GT's...
I am not sure if this news is new or old, but it is new to me. Seems Ford has made some defective engines!

Yeah, this is an old article; I've seen it on other boards. Check out the date.

ugh, Ford hasn't had the best history with Mustang motors.... they don't need this sort of press.

At least they caught the problem and are in the process of fixing it rather than customers finding out the problem....

Every '05 I see at the track must have one of those "defective engines," since they only trap like 96 MPH.

I thought those engines were built by Roush Racing!? Somebody probably forgot to put up a bugscreen. It's always some stupid little detail.
