frozenphil posted:The package will be available soon, probably this fall. It comes with the complete engine assembly with all the front end accessories as well as the engine harness. Should run around $8k if the previous offerings are any indication. Does anyone know the weight difference between the Coyote and the 4.6 3v? Still aluminum block? EDIT: I so want this car but I have a feeling the '14.5 car may have a true sportsroof and hips. My '07 is almost the same car anyway. They're not gonna jerk me around every 3.5-4 years.

So what are the weaknesses of coyote? Also, in your estimation, does it seem like Ford tweaked as much as possible out of the design, or will we see a lot higher numbers than we've seen out the 03-04 terminators. In other words, do you see it benefitting as greatly through aftermarket as we've seen in the past?

I guess I was asking in terms of potential. I was under impression the terminators were massively underrated with lots of untapped power on reserve, especially factoring forged internals. But this is coming from someone who never owned one skewed with beer goggles typing on his phone at the moment. I think I'm looking for reasons to dimiss this generation and uncovering little.

I must say though, those side pipes are absolutely insane. Seriously. It looks like the "Mist Mobile" from Kick rear end. I understand heritage is involved but Ford needs to class it up a bit and seriously start marketing this car as the M3 killer every other article is claiming it to be. Time to cut the loving mullet off. The quality is here now.

kronix posted:I agree I ordered my new 5.0 with no stupid decals, stripes or lettering. I don't want my car to look like a hotwheels. Most people these days associate stripes and stickers with shitbox civics on rims more than a GT350. My fiance actually told me those stripes look ghetto and I trust her taste. Get with the times Ford. Stripes are boyish, performance posturing scarlet letters. As riced out as you can make a brand new M3, Corvette or even Ferrari, you never see them with striping - on the street at least.

Professor Bling posted:You do know that the coupes were the ones raced in '67 and '68, right? I do, but from personal experience fastbacks typically go for twice as much what coupes bring. That car is not a true "vintage racer" in the sense it's using mostly modern components anyway. I know nothing of the different types of circuits a lot of SCCA cars fall under, but in this case, as cobbled together as it is it may as well have been a fastback. I know it doesn't look like it but he easily put 30K into that car, and no one will want it because it's not as sought after or pretty as a fastback with the same components. I owned a '68 fastback 67 Shelby clone with a 3 speed, 289 2bl, Lincoln Versailles rear and minor suspension work that sat for 12 years that I sold for 13.6k in 2007. That coupe with the same poo poo I had on my car would have been lucky to fetch 4-5K. Edit: Now with pics! I... I think I was loving crying here  (I was drunk) Click here for the full 800x600 image.

Only the whitest of trash would openly brag about displacement size these days. Seriously, I believe public opinion has matured a little since the sixties and petty dick waving in the face of an oil crisis and 50 years of tweaking the internal combustion engine in every iteration to it's absolute maximum power and efficiency will attest to this. "Five point O" was and is marketing bullshit for the mulleted. You don't hear Audi and BMW bragging about getting 400+ horsepower out of 4.2L.

Killbot posted:If the rumors are true, we can expect a global 2014 Mustang that's smaller, lighter, with IRS, and an available turbo four. If this comes true my next car will be another Mustang. Global? I hear they're dropping the retro look on this one. I hope that's not true. I was hoping for a progression of styling from the S197 64 1/2-66 cues to a sleeker 69-70 sportsroof silhouette.

A MIRACLE posted:I think there will at least be a refresh, 2014 is the Mustang's 50-year anniversary. It'll probably be mid-year '15 car in the summer of '14. There were no "64 1/2" Mustangs. That was something enthusiasts made up because of all the differences with the earliest cars; e.g. Generator vs. alternator, etc.

kronix posted:You're probably better off just not attempting to Boss-ify your GT. You're looking at a lot more than just slapping on the 302 intake runner and sticky tires. I have no idea where you'd find that exhaust right now and I'm not sure if you can get do anything to get launch control on your GT. Agreed. You could obtain a functionally equivalent or higher performing car through aftermarket for much cheaper on a base GT. And I'm not understanding the desire for launch control on a car that is supposed to be a road racer, not a drag car.

kronix posted:Yes, that is easy but the Boss allows you to set the launch RPM from the wheel, all the ECU modifications allow you to set it via the tuner. It's not that it's complicated, it's just not going to be as good as what's in the boss. In the end though this and the "race key" are just licensed gimmickry. Collectible but fairly useless beyond that and easily replicated through aftermarket.

kimbo305 posted:If you want to switch tunes, a race key is reasonably convenient. Since the Boss doesn't have a nav screen, you'd have to do some hidden button routine to activate it. That'd be particularly annoying for launch control. I think the race key opens the sidepipes as well. I wonder how easy it is to unlock or port functionality like that over to a regular GT ECU. I guess this is where the "gotta-have-it factor" comes in. How badly do you need these features as convenient as they are to pay the mark-up for. I have a $70 Bama and Brenspeed tune that takes less then 3 minutes to install. As far as the exhaust is concerned, they've made electric exhaust cutouts as far back as I can remember. Edit for nerd analogy: I hate these kinds of discussions. It's like arguing about iPhone vs. Android. One has a more expensive locked* full-feature yet stable architecture, with the other being cheaper, open-sourced, more configurable and potentially higher-performing feature set. It's all preferential. *locked in the sense you generally don't want to modify or gently caress with a (warranted) collectible car.
