As I get a few more miles on the car--more questions:
Oil pressure readout:
when fully warmed up (oil temp @220) I get 20psi at idle and about 60 at 2000 rpm--about right? Seems high relative to others cars we have. Oil level still slightly below the half way between full/min after 300 miles...
After a lot of cleaning--no wash from the dealer after the 400 mile road trip---it finally looks great:
The engine delivers easy power, clutch and gear box are both light and easy to use, comfortable seats, the stock exhaust sounds amazing and QC on the paint and assembly look very good.
$44-45K was the least expensive base GT from the Ford site.
Our car should be ready on Friday for delivery.
Questions:
1) I've got a set of snows from our EB, mounted on the 550 base wheels (18x8). I'm thinking this should fit just fine--right?
2) 87 octane gas is ok in this motor?--I find...
An update to my earlier post--found a local dealer to do buy the out of state car and it should be here next week.
Base GT, manual--301 package and the 19" silver rims. We're pretty pumped at finally getting the car we want.
BTW, for a comparison, we drove a base ecoboost and I have to say, for...
Hello all
I've been on the 550 forum for 10 years since we pick up a manual Ecoboost--which has run like a clock--and after having driven the '25' GT base , my wife and I decided it was time to get one.
Unfortunately there are no manual base cars with the 301 pkg in Carbonized Grey locally and...
Thanks for all the replies.
The car in question is a race red with the space grey interior. I can see the SG on a Grey carbonized or vapor blue, but not on the red--way too much of a difference in color for me..
I also found a CG with the Embirlin(?) yam colored interior--yikes. Both have been...
Found a left over '24' GT premium with minimal miles and a good price, but the interior has the parchment (light grey) inserts on the seats, which is why it's still on the lot.
Any ideas on changing out the covers to match the rest of the interior and what the cost might be?
thanks in advance.
Somewhat related question--did Ford improve the IC , to any degree, on the S650 EB?
The S650 is advertised as largely with a completely revised engine,so I would hope they'd have enhaced the IC since the early s550 EBs IC seem marginal at best.
Canadian car..that explains it😟.
Hmm, a US dealer sell a Canadian car, showing a Canadian sticker
and not even a mention of those little details? This stinks...
I usually keep an eye on the used EB market--am interested in a '20--'23 HPP model--and I came across a S650 less that 1y/o with 2400 miles:
