Overheating -- hopeful observation

I don’t mean this to start any wild rumors or even speculation. But, I do have a somewhat hopeful observation. I have a 1996 Mustang Cobra and recall that they were introduced with some fanfare about the then new 4.6 dual overhead cam, 4 valve per cylinder engine. --- Bad news is there were overheating problems with the car. ---- The good news is that Ford issued a TSB that included a new radiator and several other components. So, the hopeful observation is that Ford went to considerable expense in 96 solve an overheating problem with a new high profile car. MAYBE, Ford will step up to the plate again.

He's probably referring to the high temps and limp home instances under Track use on hotter days.

Have you taken your car to a track yet and noticed the car running hotter than it should first hand?

Sorry I was unclear. I was indeed referring to the overheating problem that is showing up during open track sessions. No Boss overheating problems on the street that I know of. I guess that is an important distinction. The Cobras were overheating on the street.
Still we can hope.
