Ford GT is all that it's cracked up to be

Ford GT is all that it\'s cracked up to be

"Every Ford GT cracked up"
"Large crack in wallet, small crack in suspension"
"Every GT on crack"

Have fun... First Gen 2 frame recalls, now this:

Let's see what else surfaces when owners start taking them to the track!
I suspect though that most will sit in the garage.

I'm surprised that most of the cars are still in dealer hands.
I guess many people are reluctant to pay $150K over sticker!!

It will be interesting to see what happens to the price when the second (last?) model year production is underway.

Hey Tom!

"What type of crack is that."

The article said "A casting problem caused the flaw, a Ford spokeswoman said."

I'm totally amazed that the quality assurance of any company could allow a component as critical as this simply slip through and be installed.

So much for "Quality is Job 1"

To Ford's credit it has not occured on any of the owners vehicles. They discovered this themselves.

The Audi TT killed about a dozen drivers on the Autobahn's before they decided that aerodynamoc functionality comes into play on a sports car. They put a wing on it and recalibrated the suspension so as to keep the TT on the road over 100mph.
