Power Down..would the Ford Cobra fix make everyone happy?

Im sorry to start another thread here, but ....seeing as how Mazda is Ford owned now, and Ford DID have issues relating to power figures on their Mustang Cobra (which I believe they fizxed by mechanically curing the problem and getting the cars back to the stated figures)...would owners here be happier if they did that?

and isn't there a way for owners to begin a formal complaint/action?

I guess I would take 247 hp over 500 + service.

Not necessarily because I HAVE to have that extra 8 hp, but just because I'll know for sure the car is running as designed. I'm still a little leary that Mazda had to do some kind of quick fix to meet emissions, and that is making me a little nervous about the car.

IMO i think that's what MNAO should've done...revise the emissions system to bring the car back up to spec...instead of just lowering the numbers and offer stuff and apology

As a possible owner and/or if I was a current owner I'd be more than glad to have the full hp over the $500 and free service. No doubt about it. A little Canadiana..

power for me

I would definitely take the stated power of 247 over the $500. I am probably going to sell back the car because I feel that the new number of 238 is still way too high. $500 will not even buy the claimed missing 9 ponies let alone the 20 other horses that were lost in the Pacific. If Mazda were to offer an "upgrade" to the stated horsepower, I would be the first in line.

This is already being discussed in other threads, there's no need for yet another one. Closing...
