I like (as does my friend) the tech package on the his GT350. Ford did a good job with it.

I doubt it. Again, I haven't read the lawsuit (if anyone cares just say the word and I'll take a peak and then get more specific), but if they are being sued in the manner I described in my last post, then they haven't breached an implied warranty made to the purchasers of the track pack (the track pack solves the overheating problem, right?).
Unless, of course, they also sue for diminution of value, which is to say, suing on the basis that the value of everyone's GT350 has lost market value now that this info has come to light. But those are tricky cases. We have a case right now where a guy bought a .22 LR AR-15 pattern rifle and the gun fired without a finger on the trigger and with the safety engaged. Our client ended up getting shot a few times consecutively due to this issue. This particular rifle is starting to become known as an unsafe firearm that several prominent gun ranges won't allow them on their premises. Well, we have a pretty straightforward products liability case against the maker of the gun, but there may end up being a class action (not by our firm) on the basis that the manufacturer's screw ups have turned thousands of rifles into paperweights, thereby resulting in a loss of value that owners can sue for.

Seriously though, hmm they offer a tech package which adds creature comforts, they add a track package that offers cooling aids. Car with no track pack goes to track and overheats, which means you have to rest the car and as long as you're not an idiot about it nothing breaks. Then again for should've just dummy proofed it.

It is the same way with the C7Z! Advertised as "the most track capable corvette ever."

"The most track capable Corvette ever" comment (in terms of the C7Z) is not an affirmation of track worthiness, just it's relative track worthiness compared to prior Corvettes.

People like this this make me sick. Manus will just say f it, and make toasters and leave performance cars alone. Everyone wanting something for nothing. POS. No track pack offered, you have a case. Track pack was offered for customers, you skipped, now they sue like the bitches they are. No different than hot coffee McDonald lawsuit.

Very glad I got the 2017... I never understood why they made people choose between track capability (supposedly a key part of the identity of the Shelby), and convenience / modern electronics.
