    ......... I was just wondering after reading this,..if the problem is the crank,...dampner,...or maybe even the oiling system,...as I was thinking that the Ford gt has similar internals as the gt500,and they don't seem to be having this problem,as they have dry-sump oiling?! Here's the link: http://www.blueovalnews.com/index.php?categoryid=12&p2_articleid=237 I'm just thankful for the thorough road testing by Ford and svt,..as I would rather have the problems surface now,..then when we have them in our possesion!;)

    I was at the Local Vegas Shelby factory a few months back and the Ford guys were there with the prototype GT 500s using the shelby factory as a base of operations and they were also having overheating problems, but overall were pretty happy with the development of the car. The exhaust on the car was disappointingly quiet and we mentioned that to the Ford guys.
