I'm at a loss on how to start this reply. I never expected the response this topic has generated. Folks from all over the world put aside their differences and stood together as one to demand respect. I don't think this really had anything to do with cars or dealerships... but instead trust and fair treatment.
Stangman96, I sincerely hope this opened your eyes. Treat others the way you wish to be treated. The world would be a much better place if everyone did this.
I'm sure you all want to know the outcome of this fiasco. Stangman96 and the technician who was with him were terminated. Stangman96 was not the SVT/Mustang specialist he stated he was. He was not supposed to be driving the car and the work-order for my car stated as such. This is the reason he was fired.
It can't be proved or disproved he took the car to the speeds he claimed and for the record, the abandoned airstrip he claimed to have done this on doesn't exist. Thank God no one was hurt or killed by his possible reckless driving on public roadways.
Northside Ford and I have come to an agreement and the issue is resolved. Though they are not admitting any liability, they have taken appropriate measures to satisfy all of my concerns regarding this incident.
I will be taking my car to them for warranty service in the future as I honestly believe nothing like this will happen again. It may be the safest place in the country to take your car now.
Thank you to all who posted their support. You have been heard worldwide and believe me, the dealerships are listening. Also, I have no desire to seek revenge against, or physically harm to, the original poster... but thanks for all the offers. ;-)
Mustangworks.com and SVTPerformance.com... thank you for the awesome boards! I know the onslaught of traffic caused you some major headaches.
