    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

    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...

    Yeah, my total rebates were only 3k. The dealer just ate the rest... Sent from my SM-N950U using the svtperformance.com mobile app

    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 Non-Active exhaust with resonator delete

    Did an h-pipe res delete on my '18 Premium Vert A10 with standard exhaust and love it. Nice deep throaty American V8 sound with zero drone. Congrats...

    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...
