Engine blew up

[Blyman93]

Also not to change here, but are the gt's having as many issues? Haven't looked into that, just curious

It doesn't seem like the Gt's are having as many issues. A oil pump gear here and there. I've been in that forum watching a lot over the last few months since I was sure I was getting a GT sometime soon. The earlier coyotes seem to have had there issues though.
That pricing on the built engine is not too bad. especially if you don't need to give a donor. And then the fun would really begin with the power you put put into it pretty safely. I just wish I could cheaply put rods and piston in my current motor. But that damn CPO warranty I have always gets in the way.

Worth a look. I think it's a great option, same build they used for their 648hp car.

Any chance you guys know whats the chance we need to replace our head if the rod blows. I would assume a pretty good chance? I always assume with these rods blowing that need to get a complete engine.

When I go to restaurant or somewhere with my car, many people give me compliments about the sound my GT and how beautiful it is. It didn’t happened much when I had EB.
I liked my EB a lot, and I like my GT a lot. I like both of them.

:lol:

So people gravitate to that silver GT emblem on the side of the car?

If you went from an EB coupe to a vert GT, I could see getting more compliments... I receive constant compliments... no one ever asks if it is a GT nor do they seem to care (unless at a car meet, different story though).

If you are going to post in the EB forum, at least come up with believable stories.

Some do, but most don't know the difference. I've seen people with base V6s get compliments.

I've had my EB now for 6 months. I can say, absolutly , for me, it was the correct choice. I really like the feel and sound when the turbo kicks in. I've yet to drive the V8 Coyote so I can't comment on it personally. I love the sound of the V8. I understand the EB is lighter, more nimble , handles better and better weight distribution than the V8. When I factor in insurance cost for me living in Germany and I rarely do city driving, the EB is the best way to go. As a side note. A couple of weeks ago, after breaking in period was finished for my Mustang, I opened her up a bit on the autobahn. I hit 198km/h (123 mph) very easily with the stock motor. Still quite a bit of space between accelerator pedel and floor remained. My point is. My goodness, how often does anyone, excluding tracking , reach that kind of speed on any public road, highway or autobahn ? Even most autobahns have drasticially reduced speed limits compared to years ago. V8 or EB, doesn't matter, how fast can you really drive no matter what motor or hp / ps you have ? Just enjoy the hell out of your pony. :ford:

Anyone who has to ask you what engine is in it, doesn't know a thing anyways. If asked which engine I have, I just tell them "The one with the flat plane crank and turbo", and they walk away all amazed.:lol:
The most hilarious thing that happened to me was a 2009 Bullitt Owner trying to tell me only Shelbys and Ferraris have flat plane cranks:doh:

Doesn't matter what's under the hood in these cars people compliment because they look bad ass especially with the right wheels and lowered!!!

 

[Blyman93]

I don't consider a good street race anything but 100+ lol

And it sorta matters what's under the hood.. Maybe not so much liters but definitely upgrades and power

Lol, sorry, I didn't mean that people know the difference between GT and EB. What I wanted to say was people give me compliments about the exhaust sound and shape of coupe. Some of my friends told me that coupe look cooler than vert as well. I thought vert looks cooler than coupe...:shrug: Well, everyone has different preference I guess...

Nope, the drop top ruins the lines of the car.

There is a very good chance you will have to do work to the heads. I'm still waiting to find out if mine is salvageable or if I have to get a new one.

Were they both the same color? I get boatloads of compliments on the Ruby Red. Of course the birds love red.:doh:
