Default coyote spit 2 rods out the side of the block

the motor in my 2011 came apart at the track in the staging lane, i think this may be my last expensive mistake, gonna put this trash can back together and sell this lemon. (back history) car has been though 2 mt-82s, 1 stereo, 1 pinion seal, list goes on. this car has really turned out to be a huge disappointment at this point, my $70000 mistake and expensive lawn decoration. I bought the car in november of 2010, its been on the road a grad total of 11 months, in the shop the rest of the time.

Data log reveals engine came apart head cooling issues (remember #8) and a faulty knock sensor

i pray that some non caring Ford rep reads this while they drink their coffe realizing that due to them and the a$$holes at JC LEWIS here in Savannah (do not buy form them, and never use their service department the lie and do shoddy work, they only employ shade tree mechanics) this will be my last ford, and what a rip of their extended warranty has turned out to be.

You boosted the **** out of a stock block, race it, and expect the transmission and block to last?

Should have gotta GT500. And even those break. Pay to play... pay to play...

WTF man? "Yeah my 700 hp car blew two transmissions and now it threw a couple rods....Must be the manufacturer's fault"

I can understand the OP's frustration but once you go beyond design, the manufacturer is no longer responsible.

700 and things start breaking on a coyote engine... go figure. After a certain power level on stock internals you are on borrowed time.
