I spoke with a salesman today who said that the car is somehow electronically-limited during the first 500 miles to give the engine a chance to break in.

I spoke to another salesman who claimed it was a few thousand miles.

Any truth to this? Anyone have the facts?

Thanks!

 

They are limited from the factory, but it's not restricted to a cetain mileage. Mine is supposed to be limited at 155mph, however, I have had it above that.

 

I know the boost is electronically limited in the GT500's but never really got a straight answer if mileage was the factor or not. Might be number of drive cycles or engine hrs.

 

It's 50 consecutive miles or 50 cold starts, just so test drives won't get full boost, unless you give 51 of them. LOL

 

No, its not limited for 500 miles

 

I didn't even think about boost for some reason, lol.

 

Thank God!

I might never see boost.

 

Think the Boss may have more miles than the R now.

 

you have to drive at least 50 straight miles before you store it.

 

I hope the wrappers don't come off.

 

I just might have to find you and punch you in the face.

 

Gary's new Shelby sitting in the garage and never moving for the next couple years is already disappointing me. Are you at least keeping seven so you have one mustang to actually drive?

 

I am.

Heck I'm at a ball game right now and I drove Seven. Seven does have 15k miles in almost 5 years now.

When the Shelby comes Seven and the Fox will be down for a while with mods I think.

 

I'll drive Seven for you!

 

Would be nice to have enough Mustangs to be OK with leaving some in the garage! Not sure I would be able to do it even if I had five, I would just drive a different on every day, lol

 

fixed

 

He has to have that many so he can hand them out as the kids get their drivers licenses.

 

Love how everyone noticed that!

 

Guess I need at least two more then, lol! Need to hurry too, the oldest only has a couple more years, lol.

 

I told the wife what y'all said and she didn't appreciate it.
