have a 2022 shelby supercharged  f150 at the shop with rod blown out the side of the block / guy just bought it  :o

OOPS! Why did it do THAT?  ::)

might be putting a whipple supercharger is a bad thing  on a stock block ("with  that" ford does not warranty) in the fine print of the super snake catalog .
Some where some one is driving their collector car for the last time but they don't know it . Drive your car every time like it could be the last memory of it .

That is not news...... SA has worn out their welcome at local Ford dealers with engine warranty work. The dealer in Henderson put a fresh engine in one and a few days later it was back - also blown up.

Are you sure Mustangs dominate their priorities?  I was at Shelby in Vegas a month ago and all I saw was Mach E's on their lifts.  F#ckin Mach E's for god sakes!!!

The color scheme of those Mach Es should tell you the whole story......  Hertz Adrenaline Sports Car Rentals

In reality modding ICE Mustangs is a very small part of the company. Their current big seller is Shelby Trucks for the GT350/500 owners who want to trailer to the track/show and Hertz Mach Es.

Brett:  Any idea how many GT-E's they've built/sold?  Can't imagine it'd be more than a handful, to anyone but Hertz.

2006 FGT, Tungsten. Whipple, HRE 20s, Ohlin coil-overs. Top Speed Certified 210.7 mph.
