Well when I was working a deal to trade my 4 BW for a 911, they always asked me if it had PDR. If not they said it would cut 2 to 3k off the value.

I traded my 4BW manual to Porsche of Pittsburgh if you want a 2025 model with low miles and first service done and rear differential fluid changed too. It’s listed for 67.5k, they might go lower. Not a scratch or ding on it. I kept is clean and treated the leather inside it once a month.

Not normal. Looks like the caliper pistons are not retracting once you let the brakes off. You could squirt some BrakeClean into it. Could be some crud built up on the piston dust seals. But since it’s under warranty take it in

with a Pioneer cassette deck and Jensen Tri-axial speakers......

Check for soot on your exhaust tailpipes. My Shelby did not make any actual smoke but it seems the piston rings never seated and oil was in the combustion chamber and got burned up and turned into soot. I think Ford lost lots of money on it, as lots of people had engines replaced. But the second...

My new 2018 GT350 needed a new engine at 5K miles due to oil consumption. Ford made me do two 500 mile drive tests, it was using 1 quart every 125 miles. Then they did a compression and leak down test. Then Ford gave me a new updated engine. The second one did not use much oil.

Definitely very different vehicles.

Be warned that the factory warranty’s on the Shelby 350 are long over now. I’ve not been on those forums in a while, so I don’t know if all the oil consumption problems are done and over

I traded it for this…the 4BW is a Porsche of Pittsburgh if you want a nice drift metallic manual 4 BW with black interior, PDR, tech package and mid level seats. Not a single scratch on it. First service done and rear diff oil changed too. 7500 miles

A 200 dollar battery is nothing. Go see how much a Li battery costs for a Porsche.

I’d go green metallic with the brown interior. It’s close to the adventure green with chuffle brown that Porsche uses.

Yes. Paint to sample like Porsche does.

No happy ending though

Brakes are cheaper than engines.

If it’s down to bare metal the whole door will need painted and they might wants to blend the areas next to it. Depending on your color that could be hard to match. Blacks and silvers, and metallic can be very hard to match
