uhhh
Well if it was bone stock then it was pretty unusual and ford should fix it under warrenty...
ANything is possible but the only one I saw explode bone stock had real bad wheel hop and stayed on the gas and then BOOM... oiled down the entire track..
Bone stock? If thats the case your friend is being pretty foolish. Any car..any make can come with problems and while I certainly question and critisize ford quality, its just not a common occurence for a bonestock cobra to blow the rear.....unless the driver is seriouosly abusing the car and driving through wheel hop.
Maybe I was a bit too hard on ford. I have had my car since June 02 and have raced at the drag strip almost every weekend of the racing season since then....i have piles and piles of time slips and the worse that ever happened until today when I found out about my gears breaking, was an idler pulley going bad and the rear diff leaking ocne before... Thats not bad considering what I put the car through. I have a feeling if you put one of these all wheel drive turbo charged imps through the same thing and something will break.
Even with all my complaining about Ford, I love my mustang...its fast as hell, still has potential to go faster, and it looks awesome....
