I must have bought the biggest lemon ,first diff probs ,then turbo faults ,and now on a trip into northern territory on open speed limits I thought I would give it a wind up on the early hours of tuesday morning 23 august . It was the first time I had taken it to that speed and at a touch off 4500 rpm it threw a rod out the side,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,who knows what will happen from here,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

You certainly got a lemon. Send it back and demand a new one that works.

hey scram,
What has happened with your car?
What are ford going to do about it?

Any pictures? Has it been modified? I find it very hard to believe given these things are pushing 400 + kw's and over 300 km/h with standard driveline/internals.
