    14 GT500 - What to do?

    Ford Racing Springs will give a small drop and keep the ride. Tuner, Tune, Cai and Ford Racing or VMP Twin Throttle Body. JLT Passenger side Oil Separator. Hood Struts. Think I'm going to go with the Michelins for tires, lots of choices. Good Luck..

    91 octane in cali

    In S. Ca. Stock Tune '14, had a mis-fire, 2 plugs we're loose from the factory. Dealer re-set everything, cleared the codes, Installed New Stock Motorcraft Plugs, installed them properly at .32 Gap. Car runs fine, I use Chevron *91 "Premium". Wish we had 93 or 94 at the Pump, but the...

    91 octane in cali

    Congratz on the new ride en route. From what I remember you can safely get a Tune, Larger Ford Racing or VMP Twin Throttle Body, and I guess a New Cai. Also heard DO NOT get a smaller Pulley on *91. I use Chevron, no Tune runs well. AED is a very good Tuner. Enjoy the New Ride...

    2013-2014 availability and values

    I agree pricing is up and availability is down, especially on 13-14 GT 500 Verts. Not really driving my '14 thinking about possibly selling it. Looked on Car Gurus, only 5 or 6 available a few days ago. Interesting times...

    My Local Dealer has 2 New GT 500's in the Showroom: A Red with Black Stripe car with a $ 25K ADM Sticker A Silver Painted Black stripe CFTP with a $ 50K ADM Sticker. Anticipate them sitting a long time.. Also has a New White /Blue Stripe Ford GT, not for sale..

    How much over sticker price?

    Cber: Start calling other Dealers including out of state. Make your deal with the outer dealer, and set up a courtesy delivery to your local dealer. They will only charge you a small prep fee, no shipping costs. Many have done it. Another good option. Good luck..

    How much over sticker price?

    Good to see you back from the Terminator days. 2021 Order Banks open very soon. Start calling Dealers for an allocation. Order it the way you want it at a decent price, or buy The special Mystichrome Vert Terminator. Good luck

    Looking for opinions on this '13 GT500

    With the Vin # the Ford Dealer can run a Free Oasis report. Do that before buying. Clean Car Fax looks good. Mr. Norton gave great advice: Find out as much as possible as to the Tune / Tuner. Does the Tuner come with the vehicle? Has a JLT Intake and a dirty filter, hard to see but I think...

    2014 GT 500 Catastrophic Engine Failure: Next Steps? Thoughts?

    Good Info Steve and Jam 21. I read the post by Shawn at AED, who is a very good Tuner. 13-14 GT 500's on Cali 91* "Premium": New Tune, Twin TB, and Cai is OK. He will not Tune a car with a smaller Pulley on 91*. Says he can't recommend it. Watch your Rpm's too. Good Luck..

    Crank relearn

    I asked my Svt Tech friend at the Dealer About the crank re learn. He said it must be done with a clutch change and usually when hunting misfires. He gets lots of GT 500’s that need it, usually after Ind. shops try it with SCT, or HP Tuners. Using the Ford set up takes about 10 minutes. Works...

    Vapor lock, dead pedal...talk to me

    I know he worked with the Factory Hot line, and did update the PCM, don't know if there was a TSB. I brought it back the following weekend as they had to order the TB. Has worked OK since, no issues. Thx

    What gets changed in the tune for the JLT big air

    So on a 13-14 Shelby with the Ford Racing Res. Delete, Airaid Dry Filter, a 91* Tune and either a Ford Racing or VMP Twin TB is the JLT or Pmas Cai needed?? Heard the New Cai is needed only when a smaller Pulley is installed?? Thanx..
