    Q & A Session... - Ask a Ford Dealer

    I like open tops and I've had such good luck buying used Coyote Convertibles that I thought that I would never buy new again. I was going to wait, until last Jan/Feb, to try to pick up an '18 ragtop, but couldn't pass on the deal that I got for my new '18 last May. Premium, A10, Black Accent...

    N/A builds

    2rwhp difference is around .4%. I don't know exactly how reliable the Dynojet is at Dyno Edge, but .4% would be well within anyone's margin of error, assuming a confidence level of 99% in the accuracy of the dyno. The actual curves of both rwtq and rwhp are probably more telling in any...

    Speed daddy headers and mid pipes

    Pypes. That's what I used and they fit perfectly. Unless they've changed recently, the Speed Daddy's are Pypes Step Up clones... Sent from my SM-N950U using the svtperformance.com mobile app

    2018 GT Auto $$

    No active exhaust, but I removed the suitcase for an H-Pipe and had O/R Long Tubes installed. One of the better sounds I've heard, since the stock mufflers are so good already. Nice and deep tone with zero drone. It's only a little obnoxious on cold starts. Did an E85 tune, prior to that...

    +40rwhp E85 Tune Only?

    Kind of like the title says. New '18 GT Premium Convertible A10. Did a baseline dyno and 2 weeks later dyno'd with an E85 tune as the only mod getting 40 more ponies to the rear wheels. Seems like a big gain to me. Does this sound about right? Less than 1k miles on the baseline and just...

    What should I pay for a 2018???

    Much better deal than the other car. Much better. I would want the Safe and Smart as well, but I'm old and like creature comforts. You're going to love the Gen3 Coyote and A10 combo...

    What should I pay for a 2018???

    Yeah, the owner was in the morning that I took delivery. He was obviously the kind of guy that took good care of his employees and it showed. All of them said that they loved working for him. No wonder they took such good care of their customers. That kind of leadership is all too rare in...

    What should I pay for a 2018???

    I'm not sure there is such a thing as what dealers normally do. They're all different. Yeah, special orders. It's probably just a customer order that the customer didn't buy and now the dealer is stuck with it. At some point, it's just going to be too expensive to keep at $51k. Then they'll...

    2018 GT Auto $$

    Got lucky and found a $52k Premium Vert A10 with 401A, Safe and Smart, Black Accent Pkg and 3.55 rear for $43,9xx out the door in Vegas. Only paid 3% TTL for New Mexico where I live. That car had been on the lot for a very long time though. Best Coyote Vert that I've ever had and I've had a...

    What should I pay for a 2018???

    My sticker on a Race Red '18 Premium Vert A10 was $52k and I got out the door on the high side of $43k, but that car had been on the lot a very long time. Options were Showstopper Red interior, Black Out Pkg, 401A Pkg, Safe and Smart Pkg and 3.55 rear. I found it in Vegas and did everything...

    Difference between all 3 model years?

    My '15 GT Premium A6 'Vert had the driveshaft vibration problem. There's a Ford TBS out on it so my dealer re-balanced the driveshaft and the vibration stopped. Otherwise, I've had zero problems with the car and I beat on it probably a little more than the average Coyote daily driver. Very...

    2014 Roush Supercharged F150 FX4 Supercrew

    Ok, I checked it this morning. It has 32,457 miles on it. I bought it new in July 2015, so the warranty clocks all start then. Just do the math. Whoever buys it will run out of miles on the bumper-to-bumper long before July 2018, unless they are able to purchase some kind of extended...

    2014 Roush Supercharged F150 FX4 Supercrew

    Well, it had 31k when I took this picture. I'm out of town right now and won't return, until this coming weekend. I'll update you then. I would guess that it's in the 32k range, as my wife still drives it to work. We don't use it for long trips now, since we put it up for sale... Sent from my...

    Buying GT that's been in accident

    Tough call on accident repaired vehicles. I had good luck with a '14 Shelby I bought for the wife, but it was from a Ford dealer who sent me pictures all through the repair process. The frame wasn't damaged, but they did the repair on a frame jig anyway to help insure all the exterior parts...

    Tune for GT with 670hp Roush Kit

    For what's it's worth, I have a '14 Coyote F150 FX4 with the Roush Phase-2 kit. The kit was installed by the dealer when bought new with the Roush power train warranty. The Roush tune was weak and governed to 95mph, plus the cruise control wouldn't hold selected speeds even slightly uphill or...
