there's a class action lawsuit about Ford misrepresenting the 2016 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 Base or Technology packages, because Ford screwed up, and didn't build those for track days, and installed "limp mode" software instead, because of overheating concerns due to the lack of an oil, transmission, and differential coolers, which are found in the pricier Track, R, and R Technology packages.

 The lawsuit alleges that Ford removed these coolers from the two lowest trims in order to increase profits, yet still chose to improperly advertise these Mustangs as being "track-ready." Some plaintiffs in the case say that they specifically purchased the cars for prolonged track use, yet the cars are unable to perform due to the cooling issues constantly sending them into Limp Mode before they could complete even a single track day. Some claim that the vehicles entered Limp Mode in just 15 minutes of sustained track driving.


at about the 4 minute and 10 seconds point

Ford might as well concede now and not contest this in court, because the Mustang owners hired the right gunslingers to duel for them; Hagens Berman—the firm that won $1.6 billion from Toyota over unintended acceleration, $350 million from GM over its ignition switches, and $330 million from FCA (now Stellantis) over an emissions scandal—is leading the case.,
