Since I sold the '67 track car over the Holidays I've had the need for speed again, so I picked up this little gem brand new at a local dealer just a few weeks ago.
2014 Premium GT "Brembo Edition" Black on black leather, heated seats and "SYNC", with 6-speed, 3.73's, 19" wheels and 14" Brembos up front.
Mods so far include 3" mandrel stainless cat-back exhaust system with x-pipe and custom axle-back kit with 40-series Flows.
Ford really put together a solid car and I've been enjoying it a lot. Still only have about 800 miles on the clock so I've been being easy on it. I was able to turn a 12.9 @ 113 MPH according to the onboard 1/4 mile timer, short shifting at about 6200-6300 RPM and annihilating the tires in 2nd gear. I figure I can pick up a few more tenths in due time. Here are a few pics...

Thanks guys! Funny, in description (Black on black, etc) the car actually resembles my "old-school" 5.0 Stang I owned in the late 90's/early Y2k...lol. Maybe this is my Mid-Life-Crisis car? ...representation of the one that got away maybe? ...lol. Either way I love the car and happy to say I own a Coyote as I've been enthralled with these engines since 2011. VERY HAPPY thus far.

Congrats, Brandon!
Who did you deal with at Harrold? I've bought a car or two from them. The service department is great too. I wish they were closer.

Nice ride. I was so close to pulling the trigger on one of those but bought something else instead.

Nice coyote, Sync is a great thing to have. Having the color black is awesome, just involves a little more cleaning lol.

Thanks! Their names were John and Josh I believe? They treated me well. Got a SMOKIN deal on the car. (Sworn to secrecy) ![[Wink]](wink.gif)

Eh, they seem pretty cool but I think I'll play with a "tried and true" platform and wait a few years until the upgraded version comes along. We'll see how the 2017 or 2018 looks assuming they keep the platform for a while.
