I have a 2018 GT with the same 19 inch wheels and tires and it does ride poorly on bad roads. I run my tires at 30 psi but there is no working around the 40 series short side walls I am afraid. I do look forward to changing out the Pirelli's P Zeros with Michelin AS-3 when the time comes...
Another feature of the Ford ESp is the ability to pay for it over a one year period with equal installments. Put it on your credit card and each month a payment is made until the balance is covered and not too much pain. I like others worry about the A/C evaporator, the Coyote tick, and the...
I have a 2018 GT Premium with 9K. So far both front struts leaked oil and were replaced, the radiator developed a small leak on the side plastic tank crimped section and was replaced, the the A10 needed a software reflash and is now perfect. The performance is stunning and I would buy again...
The A10 jump forward / lurch from park to drive is corrected by having the transmission software reflasked with the latest version from Ford at your dealer. After the reflash, a detailed relearned test drive must be performed to set it up correctly. Your rough idle is a head scratcher that...
The Ford ESP extended warranty allow you to pay it over time which is very convenient. Just put it on a credit card and pay for it over a year. I too worry about the A/C evaporator failures, the electronics, and the all new A10 transmission. So far so good.
The Obama Administration signed off on aggressive ever increasing fuel economy standards which are now ramping up giving us all of this poorly designed bandaid engineering. There is no concern with long term durability which is showing up in the GM and FCA fleet. Start / stop technology...
I still think that it is designed to cut down the DI noise and direct the sound downward so the car sounds better. It is a pain to remove with those two 10mm bolts and plastic covers. I have to remove it to service my FP catch can.
I just read that Ford will be offering the 5.0 Coyote V-8 in the 2021 F-150 with the dreaded cylinder deactivation technology. Going from 8 to 4 cylinders yields a 1% improvement in fuel economy according to Ford. This mistake cannot be too far off for the Mustang Coyote as they share the same...
I just watched the second YOUTUBE with the driver and he rented this car from AVIS for $600 total. He drove this car to another performance car event and the two back tires finally let go. He had to replace these tires before returning the car.
Ford Performance should track down this record breaking Mustang and buy it for displays. It is a real testament to their engineering that this car in base form could beat other high end German wonder cars. Kind of like the 2020 version of Ford vs Ferrari only against the Mercedes AMG and Audi...
Total of 4, '83 GT, '88 GT still owned, '06 GT, and '18 GT A10 current. Driving the 1988 and the 2018 back to back is amazing. We have come so far yet each one makes you smile.
Lets see, 150 gallons at 7 pounds per gallon is 910 pounds of fuel placed all inside the car. Sounds like the Lindbergh plane of days gone by. The handling must have been pretty bad when full. Hertz must have been pleased at turn in time. And Ford Racing is thrilled but cannot endorse such a...
These 350s are blowing up everywhere and you have the right to feel angry. If you special ordered your car from the factory, I would push Ford to do a motor replacement, a no cost 100K engine warranty in writing, and a decent loaner car for the duration. This would be the bare minimum for me...
2018 GT A10 here with 8200 miles. Engine is great and so is the transmission. Had both front struts replaced as they were leaking oil at 7K. Also had the radiator replaced due to a leaking plastic side tank / crimp at 6K along with a A10 software update. Buy these cars while you still can!
You forgot to mention that Ford requires you to buy the PP1 or PP2 packages which start at over $4K then add on the $1695. Durability is a concern so I check out replacement cost for the front struts......yikes! They had better last. My standard GT struts both leaked and blew at 7K which were...
And don't forget that the A10 comes standard with the really cool remote start feature. Open the garage door and hit the remote start while standing outside and yikes!! This allows for pretreatment of available heated and cooled seating which adds to the surprise and delight of ownership.
Stick with the Ford recommended 5w-20 due to the need to work with the variable cam timing setup. These oil powered adjusters have very fine oil screens that need to be clean and flow in order to get them to work correctly. Plus the oil is also functioning as a coolant transferring heat out to...
