Bottom line, keep your current Coyote GT.

I wouldn't be so quick. The guy who wrote that article seems a little biased to the "older" stang. Maybe he has one, lol.

Read C&D and R&T as well. The car is even more M4 (german) like than ever. Every acceleration test is slower as well. The only thing they rave about is the comfort and poise of the IRS. I'm sure other performance variants and the DI Coyotes will be better. But this 2015 model is not worth buying if you currently have a Coyote. They took a step back performance numbers wise in every category except lateral G

How is it slower? Its trapping more MPH.....
What gears are in it?

Grandpa 09-17-2014 04:01 PM

It could be a second faster and 10k cheaper and I still wouldn't buy one. They are uggggggly!

Not sure....where did you see it trapping faster. The quarter and 0 to 60 .2 slower in every publication.

Where it tells the ET it trapped higher mphs then the older coyote

Well that's on MT 4.4/ 12.8 run. Others are slower. No one has hit 4.3 /12.7 like 2011-2014 tests

Yes but if its trapping more MPH there's traction problems. I can honestly see 12.50s 100% stock with a good driver and track prep.

No one really looks at 0 to 60 for performance in the racing world. More of MPH and ETs and 60fts.

saunupe1911 09-17-2014 06:26 PM

Yeah but publications dont test for all that. I'm talking street wise. This car will not do 12.5 smh. But lets say it did on perfect conditions... A current coyote should do 12.3 then

BlackStang08 09-17-2014 06:30 PM

I want to see one tuned. With all the additions to the engine it should make more power.

Still getting a GT350

Soulowd 09-17-2014 10:46 PM

Yep multiple sources saying slightly slower because she's heavier by nearly 200lbs

garner 09-17-2014 11:37 PM

Just the addition of cooled seats makes me really want it. But at $40k for an ecoboost coupe and $44k for the vert, no thanks

Stick, 3.73s, low 70s, 1650' DA, 20" Nitto drag radials. Also on Sportlines, stock exhaust, stock paper filter, stock tune.

saunupe1911 09-19-2014 12:59 PM

So yeah keep your current car and dial in that SRA until a direct injection coyote drops with more power

I belive the next model year will see significant increases in power just like they did in 2010.

And still squat for torque. Lmao.

re-rx7 09-29-2014 08:05 PM

No one has anyway of knowing that for a fact. I will say that Ferarris are the same way and they sure dont have a problem around the track.
