If you are driving the car to its full potential then racing it down a drag strip wont make a difference. The cars are designed to be driven to their full capability, if they weren't designed this way then they wouldnt be so damn powerful and expensive.

Years ago I had a turbo 6cyl Cortina and I blew the turbo while accellerating at about 180km/h (private road of course ) and there was massive amounts of smoke coming out the exhaust (like Summernats burnout comp x10). No debris but a bit of oil mess, drove the car home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronmihe Upstanding Member Member 759 Member For: 21y 2m 26d Location: Canberra - ACT Posted 03/05/05 10:43 PM Share Posted 03/05/05 10:43 PM Warranty after l;oading a 10psi map, caning the crap out of it and admitting it was detonating (pinging its *beep* off etc).that's crook - real crook, every time one of you fools does that, or encourages someone to make that kind of claim you're making it harder for everyone with legit problems to get claims through. Do you think that Ford is going to honour driveline claims in the future if half of them are morons running high-boost maps/piggys returned to stock? Pull your head outa your bum, if you play, be prepared to pay. Take responsibility for your actions and live with them.*ponders* I wonder if there's a reward system for dobbing warranty fraud like there is for insurance fraud......A.

Guest EnviXR6T Guests Posted 08/05/05 10:38 PM Share Posted 08/05/05 10:38 PM How can one modify a car under warranty, damage it and then expect Ford to repair it as if it was their fault? You get what you deserve. Wait until warranty is over before making modifications that can affect warranty otherwise live with the consequences.
