Well thankfully we have a 19 mustang GT and with over 80,000 mi we have had no tick whatsoever however the 2018 especially the early cars did have a piston slap issue which sounds like an audible tick at times RP productions had a Gen 3 coyote and a mustang that had the issue if I remember correctly maybe worth checking out his channel and one of his old videos to get more information I'm sure Alex Flores has also cover this at some point as well and maybe able to provide more clarity thanks for watching
People who are just looking at HP/Liter to judge and engine don't know much about engines. A 6+ liter LS can fit under a Miata's hood and give the car a very good power to weight ratio, something a Coyote can't do. Viper won it's class in Le Mans and ruled GT racing during the late 90s and early 2000s against other cars that have better HP/Liter.
It's a fair point I mean the Honda S2000 is not very fast from the factory but it has a very high horsepower per liter so I can buy off of that plus especially naturally aspirated application in LS engine can make a lot of power generally more than a coyote if you're looking at an LS7 which will make 600 wheel whereas the coyote generally makes more than the fives definitely some truth to what you're saying thanks for your comment
I have a 17 Gen 2 and I absolutely love it.. The S197 Gen 1's were the cars that brought me back to even looking at Mustangs again.. Around 2012 I was big on Camaro SS's but the S550 came out and just looked perfect to me, It still had that older retro look but gave us just the right amount of Tech and improvements inside the car. Plus the IRS made the car feel so much better on track or just weaving in and out of traffic or taking turns you could really feel it.. Just make sure you put some IRS braces in just to reinforce the rear of the car though..
Agreed. I have a 2018 GT. Best car I’ve ever owned. Also installed the Steeda rear and front sub frame braces. Also, highly recommend adding a JLT oil catch can to keep the intake clean.
I love my 2017 GT with some reasonable upgrades I got the horsepower from 435 to 462 for less than 2 grand. Cleaned up the sound to a clean roar thru the gears.
Gen 4 twin tbs is cause of volume of air need for the high velocity input... engineers didn't agree on just a single tb... causes of daily drivability idle responses..
Gen 2 isn't direct injected...15/17... Gen 3 is... I have 15 50thyr...18 mani bbk Lt headers..cat delete...pmas cai...2 step box....11/17 can be installed....Gen 3 cannot
What about the Miami version Australian Coyote there were different size's but the largest was 351 KW with overboost to near 400 KW's. once Ford Australia shut down the former engineers form ford created a company and called it Premcar look that up on utube to see what they did to do the the Coyote .
Yeah that’s crazy how the stock block is strong enough to handle a lot of power where as my STI needed a block swap with fully forged internals to hand over the 700whp it has but I do have an S650 with the Gen 4 and I like it but it sucked that I had to buy two K&N filters and if I do intakes it’s double the price.
Great video brother, I have 2011 Ford F150 with a 5.0L Coyote V8 in it with 160,000 miles on it and still going strong and its a beast and it sounds like a beast with the Borla ATAK exhaust on it as well.
I actually mentioned this at 5:29, it's one of the key features Gen 3 and I'm glad I wont need a gdi service for my girlfriends Gen 3 wouldn't want to miss that feature Appreciate your comment though.
I definitely learned a lot that I didn’t know here, good video! I love my gen 1 coyote, but my dads gen 2 can hold 20 lbs of boost so your def right about the gen 2s!
Good comment I pulled up a diagram and your right it is port still for Gen 2, for the past 9 years I thought it was direct for Gen 2 so I appreciate the comments, I will address this in my f150 coyote video and pin a comment.
Enjoyed the video a lot. I've got a 2015 1LE with 20,200 miles. Just used it for work and back. Work place was only eight miles from home. It's white , black hood of course , installed larger Z28 rear spoiler , installed that plastic panel under the car's engine like the 2015 Z28 had for aerodynamics (and it also helps keep the bottom of the engine clean , like the alternator for instance ), Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar 3 tires (285-35-20 front , 305-35-20 rear) , pulled the fuse so the exhaust valves are always open , installed MUZZY'S SKIP-SHIFT ELIMINATOR so the computer won't force me from 1st gear into 4th when driving at parking lot speeds , retro fitted the cold air induction system of the 2015 Z28 with open air filter element , paint protection film on the front splitter , bumper , headlights , hood , front fenders , and side mirrors , 1LE badges or emblems just in front of the doors and rear trunk area . I've left the engine alone. Not into turbos or superchargers. Happy I don't have the DIRECT INJECTION that newer Camaros have. That sludge and carbon deposit buildup on the intake manifold and valves is something I don't have to worry about. And that TR 6060 transmission is the same one that the 2015 Z28 also had. Those red Brembo calipers are the cherry on top. Could not be happier with the car.
Thank you! I feel the same way you do, love sticking with port injection, the red Brembo's and I need to get rid of the skip shift too. I think our cars will age really well down the road!
90% committed to the BRZ tS, and likely to immediately go for catless headers and a tune. 250-270 engine hp over 228 feels like it will make just enough difference. Had considered the GR86 Trueno but the way Toyota does orders and allocation it's just playing roulette.
I don't see the car retailing under 45k because the GT is almost 44k. I could maybe see over 45k on the low end and between 48 and 50 on the high end however I hope your right because 45 and up is way too much money for a WRX should be in the 30s.
Was in the market for new car early 22 and wrx checked all the boxes for me as far as performance daily for work that had space, If I didn’t need the 4 doors Supra would have been it for me…
The plastic fender trim makes the WRX make the car look cheap from the outside. The oversized tablet in the dash makes the WRX look gimmicky on the inside. So we have cheap and gimmicky. Only 4 doors, no coupe... Hard h a r d pass.
Thank you, looks like according to the car gurus price index the Lexus GS has gone down more than 10 percent over the past year and 3.3-5 percent over the past 90 days so I think we will see the gs350 continue to drop
